Biosynthesis of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles from the Mangrove (Avicennia marina) and Investigation of its Antibacterial Activity
Background and purpose: Development of biocompatible and nontoxic methods for synthesis of nanoparticles is important in bio-nanotechnology. This study aimed at biosynthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) using leaf of the native mangrove (Avicennia marina) and investigating its antibacterial activity. Materials and methods: Effect of four different solutions composed of dry extr...
متن کاملComparing the function of aqueous extract of mangrove plants Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronata in biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles
In this study, the leaf extract activity of two species of mangrove plants, Avicennia marina (Avicenniaceae family) and Rhizophora mucronata (Rhizophoraceae) was compared in biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The AgNPs were investigated using spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Abso...
متن کاملANTIBACTERIAL AND SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITY OF MANGROVE (Avicennia marina) EXTRACTS ON ESBL AND MBL PRODUCING UROPATHOGENS
Growing incidences of β-lactamase producing uropathogens have been observed worldwide. Extended Spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs) and Metallo β-lactamase (MBLs) are two types of β-lactamases that have emerged as a major threat with limited treatment options. In the current study, the effect of Avicennia marina leaf and stem extracts was studied on 10 ESBL and 10 MBL producing uropathogens which were...
متن کاملOxygen microgradients in the rhizosphere of the mangrove Avicennia marina
Oxygen concentration was measured in aerial roots (pneumatophores), horizontal cable roots and surrounding sediment of the tree Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh. in a mangrove swamp at Ao Nam Bor, on the southeast coast of Phuket Island, Thailand. The O2 measurements were made in the field with a polarographlc oxygen minielectrode. The O2 concentration inside pneurnatophores was 63 to 88 % of ai...
متن کاملThe Chemical Investigations of the Mangrove Plant Avicennia marina and its Endophytes
Abstract: A diverse array of bioactive compounds have been isolated and characterized from the mangrove plant Avicennia marina and its endophytes. Extensive chemical investigations of the different parts (barks, leaves, twigs, etc.) of the mangrove plant A. marina and its endophytes (mainly endophytic fungi) resulted in the reporting of the isolation of 123 compounds, and most of them are new o...
