background: the current study aimed to determine the effect and properties of surface-modified copper doped cu:zno nps on killing curves of bacterial pathogens. m ethods:   preparation  of   in  situ   surface-modified  copper  doped  zno nanoparticles (cu:zno nps) was done according to standard procedure.assay for antimicrobial activity of cu:zno nps against bacterial pathogens was carried out...

the condensation reaction of 5-(4-aminophenyl)-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione with salicylaldehyde, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 5-chlorosalicylaldehyde, 5-bromosalicylaldehyde, 2-nitrobenzaldehyde, 3-nitrobenzaldehyde, 4-nitrobenzaldehyde and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde in methanol results in series of new schiff bases. the structure of schiff bases were confirmed by 1h nmr, 13c nmr, ir and mass spectro...

background: antibiotic resistant bacteria can be considered as a main problem in infection management. zinc oxide nanoparticles (zno nps), individually or in combination with antibiotics, can be considered as good candidates for struggling against drug resistant bacteria. methods: in this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using sol-gel method in low temperature as a cost effectiv...

Bacterial biomass, potential bacterial production and ectoenzymatic activity were measured at 4 stations along a trophic gradient at the Atlantic Barrier Reef off Belize (Central America). We investigated the changes in the trophic status of this system, which we hypothesized would also lead to changes in the bacterial community. The bacterial community of the oligotrophic station was character...
