Background: Bacterial resistance to the commonly used antibacterial agents is an increasing challenge in the medicine, and a major problem for the health care systems; the control of  their spread  is a constant challenge for the hospitals. Objectives: In this study, we have investigated the antimicrobial activity of the Zinc Oxide nanoparticles against clinical sample; Yersinia intermedia bact...

Background & objectives: The organic dyes are environmental pollutants that pour into water sources by industrial wastewater. It is necessary to develop effective methods for removing pollutants. The aim of this study was to evaluate photocatalytic efficiency of bare ZnO nanoparticles doped with Mg and La (1 to 6% by weight) and Mg 5% -La 5% / ZnO and Mg6%-La4% / ZnO nanoparticles in the remova...

objective(s): enzyme immobilization via nanoparticles is perfectly compatible against the other chemical or biological approximate to improve enzyme functions and stability. in this study lactoperoxidase was immobilized onto silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles to improve enzyme properties in the presence of cadmium chloride as an inhibitor. materials and methods:  the process consists of the ...

this study was aimed at investigating the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (cip) antibiotic in aqueous solution using immobilized zno nanoparticles on glass plate. x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were applied to characterize the nanoparticles. to do so, the zno nanoparticles were synthesized through the chemical precipitation method and we...

plants or natural resources have been found to be a good alternative method for nanoparticles synthesis. in this study, polyaniline coated silver nanoparticles (agnps) synthesized from piper betle leaves extract were investigated for their antibacterial activity. silver nanoparticles were prepared from the reduction of silver nitrate and nabh4 was used as reducing agent. silver nanoparticles an...
