Application of quercetin and its bio-inspired nanoparticles as anti-adhesive agents against Bacillus subtilis attachment to surface

Plant molecular farming: production of metallic nanoparticles and therapeutic proteins using green factories

“…10 -9 m. 25 Developing alternative eco-friendly methods for generating NPs is imperative. 26 During the last decades, scientists directed their investigations to the biosynthesis of nanomaterials as a 'bottomup' track; numerous organisms could synthesis NPs under ambient environment (pressure and temperature) avoiding the generation of dangerous agents and hazardous by-products. 27 Historically, the biosynthesis of NPs using plants was reported in the early 1900s and so was the accumulation of colloidal Ag in organs of living organisms 28 and bioreduction of ions by plant roots.…”

“…55,56,58,59 Numerous phenolic compounds are known to form stable complexes with widely distributed toxic metals. Polyphenolics, described by at least one aromatic ring (C6) with additional hydroxyl groups, 26 are a group of secondary metabolites of low molecular weight that provide heavy metal stress tolerance by chelating MIs 26,55,56,58,59 or by foraging heavy metal stress prompted reactive oxygen species (ROS). 69 Therefore exogenously, the phyto-generation of metallic NPs was based on the reducing capacity of plant.…”

Preparation and Property Study of Organosilicon Antisticking Coatings

“…e hydrophobic nature of silicone rubber surface resists the pollutants and droplets to adhere on its surface, so it can be used as an antisticking coating [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. erefore, silicone rubber has a wide range of applications in national defense, industry, construction, health care, and daily life.…”

Effect of Novel Quercetin Titanium Dioxide-Decorated Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Nanocomposite on Bacillus subtilis Biofilm Development

“…They can develop everywhere on almost all natural materials [ 2 ] like rock [ 3 ], sand [ 4 ], soil [ 5 ], skin, teeth, plants, etc. Also, artificial surfaces [ 6 , 7 ] such as plastics [ 8 ], glasses [ 9 ] and metals [ 10 ] are suitable substrata for biofilm formation. In water and wastewater treatment facilities, they are causative agents for corrosion [ 11 ] and contamination [ 12 ].…”

“…Besides, the antimicrobial and anti-biofilm activity of CNTs can prevent bacterial adhesion. The chemical decoration of CNTs by titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs) [ 9 ] can improve their extraordinary electrical, mechanical, thermal properties and wettability conversion behavior of CNTs/TiO 2 [ 26 ]. Particularly, CNTs were reported to create a special confinement of TiO 2 and large supporting surface areas, leading to faster reaction rates.…”
