Antibacterial and plant growth-promoting properties of novel Fe3O4/Cu/CuO magnetic nanoparticles

“…Copper ions, as trace elements in plants, are required for various physiological functions, including photosynthesis, cellular respiration, antioxidant defenses, and hormone signal transduction. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Due to its exceptional biocompatibility, it has a wide range of applications. According to their biological value, copper ions can not only boost plant development but also have antibacterial properties due to their toxicity.…”

“…On the other hand, being a heavy metal, copper may be harmful to plants, bacteria and viruses to a certain extent. 3,4,[6][7][8] Cu 2+ is the primary component of commercial inorganic antibacterial agents such as Bordeaux mixture, green depot, and double spirit, which are extensively used in agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry as a disposable dosage for disease prevention and control. 2,3,5 Cu 2+ ions can adsorb on the surface of bacteria, destroying the potential difference between the surface membrane and the bacterial cell walls.…”

Green synthesis, characterizations of silver nanoparticles using sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) plant extract and their antimicrobial and DNA damage protective effects

“…Green synthesis has attracted great attention because biomolecules in plant extracts are involved instead of toxic chemicals ( Göl et al, 2020 ; Aygun et al, 2022 ). In the performed green synthesis process, the plant extract acts as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent and is mixed with any metal salt solution (Gur et al, 2022¸ Meydan et al, 2022 ). Various phytochemicals such as phenols, steroids, terpenoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, as well as tannins, proteins and saponins in the plant extract allow the Ag + ion to initiate the nucleation process into Ag 0 atoms and aggregate them into (Ag 0 )n. Hydrolyzable tannins, flavonols, anthocyanins, phenolic acids and organic acids such as malic, citric and tartaric acids in sumac fruit extracts act as stabilizing and reducing agents, enabling the conversion of silver ions into silver nanoparticles.…”
