Biofunctionalized Nanofibers Using Arthrospira (Spirulina) Biomass and Biopolymer
Electrospun nanofibers composed of polymers have been extensively researched because of their scientific and technical applications. Commercially available polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and polyhydroxybutyrate-co-valerate (PHB-HV) copolymers are good choices for such nanofibers. We used a highly integrated method, by adjusting the properties of the spinning solutions, where the cyanophyte Arthrospi...
متن کاملAntibacterial comparison between the nanofibers bed of poly vinylidine fluoride–poly vinyl pirilodine containing a sorbent with one metal and two metals
Background and Aim: Developing of antibiotic material is an important new field of research in human health. Antibacterial fibers are used in various areas such as clothing, filters for medical equipment, infection and odor control. Research shows that porous materials containing transition metal have antibacterial activity. In this study, the antibacterial activity was compared for three nanof...
متن کاملGlycogen and poly-P-hydroxybutyrate synthesis in Spirulina maxima
The effect of different growth conditions on the glycogen and poly-/I-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) content of the cyanobacterium Spirulina maxima is described. Under photoautotrophic growth conditions without any nutrient limitation, S. maxima exhibited a glycogen content of between 7-1 and 10.7% of cell dry wt, whereas PHB was undetectable. When S. maxima was grown under mixotrophic conditions in the...
متن کاملFabrication of Collagen-Coated Poly (beta-hydroxy butyrate-co-beta-hydroxyvalerate) Nanofiber by Chemical and Physical Methods
Tissue engineering is the design and engineering of structures to rebuild and repair damaged tissue of the body. Poly (beta-hydroxybutyrate-co-beta-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) scaffold has shown good biocompatibility and biodegradable properties. Nanofibers have improved the performance of biomaterials, and could be considered effective. Electro spinning is one of the most important methods of fabr...
متن کاملFabrication and cellular compatibility of aligned poly(hydroxy alkanoate) nanofibers for nerve tissue engineering
The ability to fabricate aligned nanofibers may open new avenues for the development of nerve regeneration using tissue engineering scaffolds. In this study, aligned poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/poly(3-hydroxy butyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHB/PHBV) nanofibrous scaffolds were fabricated using electrospinning for the culture in vitro of Schwann cells (SCs) that physiologically assist in directing t...
