Biomolecules-mediated synthesis of selenium nanoparticles using Aspergillus oryzae fermented Lupin extract and gamma radiation for hindering the growth of some multidrug-resistant bacteria and pathogenic fungi

Promising antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of reduced graphene oxide-metal oxide (RGO-NiO, RGO-AgO, and RGO-ZnO) nanocomposites

“…The EDX analysis was applied for the elemental study and the chemical characterization of the fabricated samples. 57,[71][72][73] The EDX elemental analysis of the synthesized RGO-metal oxide nanocomposites is exhibited in Fig. 8.…”

Green Synthesis of Selenium and Tellurium Nanoparticles: Current Trends, Biological Properties and Biomedical Applications

“…Liang et al used four fungal species: Aureobasidium pullulans, Mortierella humilis, Trichoderma harzianum, and Phoma glomerata, to produce SeNPs and TeNPs and provide nucleation sites with extracellular protein and polymeric substances [183]. Mosallam et al combined γ-rays and the supernatant of A. oryzae to produce SeNPs and found a strong correlation between the antioxidant capacity and both the phenolic content and SeNP yield [184]. Moreover, the biomimetic mycosynthesis of SeNPs with simple preparation protocols from, for instance, Alternaria alternata yields uniform and stable SeNPs [180].…”

Nystatin-mediated bismuth oxide nano-drug synthesis using gamma rays for increasing the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities against some pathogenic bacteria andCandidaspecies

“…For this, the serial dilution method of a Luria-Bertani (LB) broth medium containing the tested microbes was applied using the ELISA plate method. 26 The inoculums were xed as mentioned-before in the rst antimicrobial screening. 25 Broth medium, DMSO, and PVP were used as a negative control, while the standard antibiotics (AMC and NS) were used as a positive control.…”
