Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiogenic Silver Nanoparticles Produced by Bacteria Isolated from University Campus Environment Soil Samples in Ras Al KhaimahPooja Shivappa, Grisilda Vidya Bernhardt, Sheela Haridas, Michael V MagaogaoSilver is observed to be comprised of a huge percentage ofsilver oxide and the utilization of silver and silver salts is in practicesince ancient human civilization. Silver nanoparticles remain to be potentialantifungal, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral agents. Further, itis demonstrated that silver nanoparticles have been involved in arresting thegrowth of several bacterial species thereby reducing their harmful effects.Micro-organisms are being … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 5 Sep 2022 · 5,870 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSelf-Assembly Peptides-a ReviewOlushola Sunday Ayanda, Olusola Solomon Amodu, Cyprian Yameso Abasi et al.Self-assembling of peptides is a spontaneous process by which peptides are self-organized to form well-ordered structures by intramolecular and intermolecular interactions.This process is controlled by the balance of the forces (attractive andrepulsive) within the peptide molecules. Notable methods used for the synthesis of self-assembly peptides are solid-phase synthesis, liquid-phase synthesis,recombinant technology, and the use of external fields. The self-assembled nanostructure-based … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 12 Aug 2022 · 5,739 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristics and Incidence of Candidemia in Hospitalized Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) PatientsNaana A Boachie, Jackie P. Johnston, Simi A. Philip et al.Management of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) with high-dose corticosteroids and interleukin-2 inhibitors has potential benefits, but is associated with immunosuppression and risk of secondary infections. This single-center, retrospective, cohort study evaluated the incidence of candidemia and associated risk factors in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Twenty-three patients developed candidemia and were matched to 77 non-candidemic COVID-19 controls. The primary outcome was incidence of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2022 · 7,598 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococci (MRS) and Salmonella spp. in Consumer Egg SamplesAna Claudia Lemes Pavan, Rafaella da Silva, Vanessa Kelly Capoia Vignoto et al.Despite the excellent nutritional value, the egg can be an important vehicle for bacterial infections carried by food, among them, multiresistant Staphylococci and salmonellosis. The objective of this work was to detect the presence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus spp. (MRS) and Salmonella spp. Forty dozen eggs were obtained from three free-trade fairs in the Umuarama-PR; every dozen eggs comprised a sample. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 21 Aug 2020 · 6,529 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Ultra Violet Radiation on Polyethylene Packaged Water Exposed at Varying Conditions: Are we Drinking Micro-Plastics?James Matthew Anayo, Victor Eshu Okpashi, Ikechukwu N.E. OnwurahThe public is worried about how their health is impacted by microplastics in sachet water. This awareness has repercussion for water producing factories and public health organization in managing health hazard associated with microplastic ingestion. Many countries in Africa, with concern to Nigeria, the act of packaging water in polyethylene materials by water producing factories has become accustomed. These packaged … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2018 · 9,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficacy of Curcumin as an Immunostimulatory Dietary Supplement for Channel CatfishSaly Hafiz, Kunwar K. Srivastava, Joseph C. Newton et al.Natural agents such as curcumin may have the potential to enhance disease resistance in aquaculture. In this study, 30 catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), 2 years of age, were allotted to one of 3 treatment groups (n = 10) to receive diets supplemented with 0.0, 0.5, or 1.0% curcumin. Body weights and lengths of fish were taken at 0, 20, 40 and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2017 · 8,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Vitro Antagonistic Antifungal-Activity of Streptomyces Isolate 339 Against Magnaporthe oryzaeM. Ebrahimi Zarandi, G. H. Shahidi Bonjar, F. Padasht DehkaeiBiological control offers an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of antimicrobials for controlling plant diseases. A collection of about 100 Actinomycete strains was screened for the ability to produce metabolites that inhibit Magnaporthe oryzae growth in vitro. The Streptomyces isolate 339 showed strong in vitro antagonistic activity against M. oryzae in Agar disc and Well-diffusion methods by producing extracellular … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 8,140 accessesView PDFCite
