Eco-friendly Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles and its Application in Hydrogen Photogeneration and Nanoplasmonic Biosensing
Chemphyschem. 2023 Aug 3:e202300002. doi: 10.1002/cphc.202300002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEnvironmentally friendly methods for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesis without the use of hazardous chemicals have recently drawn attention. In this work, AgNPs have been synthesized by microwave irradiation using only honey solutions or aqueous fresh pink radish extracts. The concentrations of honey, radish extract, AgNO3 and pH were varied. AgNPs presented mean sizes between 7.0 and 12.8 nm and were stable up to 120 days. The AgNPs were employed as co-catalyst (TiO2@AgNPs) to increase the hydrogen photogeneration under UV...

Rhizobacterial Isolates from Prosopis limensis Promote the Growth of Raphanus sativus L. Under Salt Stress
In this study, bacterial isolates were obtained from soil and roots of Prosopis limensis Bentham from the department of Lambayeque, Peru. This region has high salinity levels, therefore, the collected samples were used to isolate plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), which were identified through morphological, and physical-biochemical characteristics. These salt tolerant bacteria were screened phosphate solubilization, indole acetic acid, deaminase activity and molecular characterization by 16S rDNA sequencing. Eighteen samples from saline soils of the Prosopis limensis plants in the northern coastal desert of San ...

Synergistic interplay between ABA-generating bacteria and biochar in the reduction of heavy metal accumulation in radish, pakchoi, and tomato
Environ Pollut. 2023 Jun 23:122084. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122084. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHeavy metal (HM) contamination is an environmental concern that threatens the agricultural product safety and human health. To address this concern, we developed a novel strategy involving the synergistic application of Azospirillum brasilense, a growth-promoting rhizobacterium which produces abscisic acid (ABA), and biochar to minimize HM accumulation in the edible parts of vegetable crops. Compared to A. brasilense or biochar alone, the concentrations of Cd, Ni, Pb, and Zn in radish (Raphanus sativus L.), pakchoi (Brassic...

Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1307: Identification and Characterization of Novel SPHINX/BMMF-like DNA Sequences Isolated from Non-Bovine Foods
Franz
Sixteen novel circular rep-encoding DNA sequences with high sequence homologies to previously described SPHINX and BMMF sequences were isolated for the first time from non-bovine foods (pork, wild boar, chicken meat, Alaska pollock, pangasius, black tiger shrimp, apple, carrot, and sprouts from alfalfa, radish, and broccoli). The phylogenetic analysis of the full-length circular genomes grouped these together with previously described representatives of SPHINX/BMMF group 1 and 2 sequences (eight in each group). The characterization of genome lengths, genes present, and conserved structures confirmed their relatio...
