“…ϒ-Linolenic acid, methyl ester and 9, 12-Octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester were found in lesser quantity (1.09% and 1.41% respectively). These fatty acid esters with reducing potential have been also found in Allium saralicum 39 and Citrus wax 40 . Three esters (Heptadecanoic acid, methyl ester; 9-octadecenoic acid (Z)-, methyl ester; Oxalic acid, 6-ethyloct-3-YL heptyl ester) were also found in cyanobacterial extract.…”

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are gaining importance in the field of medicines due to their high surface area and unique properties than their other forms of selenium. In this study, biogenic selenium nanoparticles (B-SeNPs) were synthesized using cyanobacteria and their bioactivities (antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer and biocompatibility) were determined for comparison with commercially available chemically synthesized selenium nanoparticles (C-SeNPs). Color change of reaction mixture from sky blue to orange-red indicated the synthesis of biogenic SeNPs (B-SeNPs). UV–Vis spectra of the reaction mixture exhibited peak at 266 nm. During optimization, 30 °C of temperature, 24 h of time and 1:2 concentration ratio of sodium selenite and cell extract represented the best condition for SeNPs synthesis. Various functional groups and biochemical compounds present in the aqueous extract of Anabaena variabilis NCCU-441, which may have possibly influenced the reduction process of SeNPs were identified by FT-IR spectrum and GC–MS. The synthesized cyanobacterial SeNPs were orange red in color, spherical in shape, 10.8 nm in size and amorphous in nature. The B-SeNPs showed better anti-oxidant (DPPH, FRAP, SOR and ABTS assays), anti-microbial (antibacterial and antifungal) and anti-cancer activitities along with its biocompatibility in comparison to C-SeNPs suggesting higher probability of their biomedical application.

“…Fatty acid esters, viz., Octadecanoic acid, methyl ester and 13-Docosenoic acid, methyl ester were found in lesser quantity (1.74% and 0.64% respectively). The derivatives of these fatty acid esters with reducing potential have been also found in Allium saralicum 26 and Citrus wax 27 . Esters like heptadecanoic acid- methyl ester and Octadecenoic acid (Z)—methyl ester were also found in cyanobacterial extract.…”

Driven by the need to biosynthesized alternate biomedical agents to prevent and treat infection, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) have surfaced as a promising avenue. Cyanobacteria-derived synthesis of CuONPs is of substantive interest as it offers an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and biocompatible route. In the present study biosynthesized CuONPs were characterized and investigated regarding their toxicity. Morphological analysis using TEM, SEM and AFM showed the spherical particle size of 20.7 nm with 96% copper that confirmed the purity of CuONPs. Biogenic CuONPs with IC50 value of 64.6 µg ml−1 showed 90% scavenging of free radicals in superoxide radical scavenging assay. CuONPs showed enhanced anti-inflammatory activity by 86% of protein denaturation with IC50 value of 89.9 µg ml−1. Biogenic CuONPs exhibited significant toxicity against bacterial strains with lowest MIC value of 62.5 µg ml−1 for B. cereus and fungal strain with a MIC value of 125 µg ml−1 for C. albicans. In addition CuONPs demonstrated a high degree of synergistic interaction when combined with standard drugs. CuONPs exhibited significant cytotoxicity against non-small cell lung cancer with an IC50 value of 100.8 µg ml−1 for A549 and 88.3 µg ml−1 for the H1299 cell line with apoptotic activities. Furthermore, biogenic CuONPs was evaluated for their photocatalytic degradation potential against methylene blue dye and were able to removed 94% dye in 90 min. Free radical scavenging analysis suggested that CuONPs assisted dye degradation was mainly induced by hydroxide radicals. Biogenic CuONPs appears as an eco-friendly and cost effective photocatalyst for the treatment of wastewater contaminated with synthetic dyes that poses threat to aquatic biota and human health. The present study highlighted the blend of biomedical and photocatalytic potential of Phormidium derived CuONPs as an attractive approach for future applications in nanomedicine and bioremediation.

“…Based on the current scientific approach, there are several examples of the employment of agroindustrial and food wastes, rich in bioactive compounds, with this proposal. A study was conducted to obtain fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) from citrus wax, an agro-industrial waste originating from the purification process of citrus oils [113]. Results demonstrated that citrus wax is an important source of a range of biocompounds, including flavonoids, saponins, carbohydrates, phenolics, and fatty acid esters.…”
