Structural influence of chromium substituted magnetite ferrofluids on the optical and antibacterial characteristics by Babukutty, B.

“…As the composition of Cr increases from x = 0.2 to x = 0.8, the crystalline size decreases reaching a minimum value of 9 nm. At the same time, the magnetic moment also becomes 1.3 +- 0.08 at a saturation point of 33 +- 0.13 emu/g at the highest Cr composition. …”

Novel electroless deposited corrosion — resistant and anti-bacterial NiP–TiNi nanocomposite coatings by Fayyad E.M.

“…Below and above this concentration as well as after the heat treatment, the improvement in the corrosion protection of the composite coatings slightly decreases. Besides, the NiP–TiNi NCCs have effective antibacterial properties as the cell viability of Escherichia coli decreases from 100 to 19%.…”

Selection of Bacillus spp. with decontamination potential on multiple Fusarium mycotoxins by Zahoor Ul, Hassan

“…Bacillus cereus BC344-2, Bacillus cereus BC399-2, Bacillus simplex BS350-3 and Paenibacillus favisporus PF341, showed significant biodegrading capacity on T-2 toxin, leading to 72, 70, 71 and 88% decontamination, respectively. Complete degradation (100%) of ZEN was observed at a contamination level of 0.375 μg/ml in LB, while showing a decreasing trend of degradation (87 and 84%) at increasing levels of mycotoxins (0.750 and 1.50 μg/ml LB medium, respectively). …”

Impaired Liver Size and Compromised Neurobehavioral Activity are Elicited by Chitosan Nanoparticles in the Zebrafish Embryo Model by Abou-Saleh, Haissam

“…For the first time, we investigate the potential organ-specific (cardiac, hepatic, and neuromuscular) toxicity of ChNPs (size 100–150 nm) using the zebrafish embryo model. Our data highlight the absence of both acute and teratogenic toxic effects of ChNPs (~100% survival rate) even at the higher concentration employed (200 mg/L). …”
