Biogenic engineered zinc oxide nanoparticle for sulfur black dye removal from contaminated wastewater: comparative optimization, simulation modeling, and isotherms. Bioengineered 2024; 15:2325721. [PMID: 38465722 PMCID: PMC10936635 DOI: 10.1080/21655979.2024.2325721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
This research work aimed to isolate and culture the bacterium Bacillus paramycoides for biogenic fabrication of zinc oxide nanoparticles, specifically ZnO and ZnO-ME nanoparticles (nanoparticles fabricated from bacterial extracts only - ZnO, and from bacterial cell mass including extract - ZnO-ME). SEM investigation revealed the spherical-shaped NPs with 22.33 and 39 nm in size for ZnO and ZnO-ME, respectively. The Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) studies revealed mesoporous structure with pore diameters of 13.839 and 13.88 nm and surface area of 7.617 and 33.635 m2/gm for ZnO and ZnO-ME, respectively. Various parameters for the adsorption of sulfur black dye onto both ZnO and ZnO-ME were screened and optimized using Plackett-Burman Design (PBD), Full Factorial Design (FFD) and Central Composite Design (CCD). The results of the optimization modeling study revealed that FFD yielded the most predictable and best-fitting results among all the models studied, with R2 values of 0.998 for ZnO and 0.993 for ZnO-ME. Notably, ZnO-ME exhibited a greater dye removal efficiency 80% than ZnO i.e., 71%, it may be due to the presence of amorphous carbon on the surface of ZnO-ME. Among the various isothermal models, the Freundlich model displayed the strongest correlation with the dye removal data, confirming the multilayer adsorption of dye on both nanoparticles and supporting physisorption. Therefore, ZnO and ZnO-ME nanoparticles have been proven as potential tools for mitigating environmental impacts associated with dye-containing wastewater.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 257:128447. [PMID: 38040162 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128447] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to produce new nanocomposites with antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer properties that can be used in biomedical research based on carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) biopolymer. First, poly(2-oxo-2-(pentafluorophenoxy)ethyl-2-methylprop-2-enoate) (PPFMA) was synthesized and characterized by FTIR and NMR techniques. It was then blended with NaCMC by in situ/hydrothermal method to produce a semi-synthetic functional material. Changes in the FTIR data of the blend and the single Tg value from DSC confirmed the compatibility of the blend. To enhance the thermal and biological properties of the NaCMC-PPFMA blend, biosynthesized Ag-ZnONPs were hydrothermally incorporated into the blend at different weight ratios. The prepared materials were characterized by SEM, EDX, TEM, XRD and FTIR. The thermal stability of the materials was determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and glass transition temperatures (Tg) was determined by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The oxidant, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic properties of PPFMA, Ag-ZnONPs, PPFMA-NaCMC blend, and nanocomposites were investigated in detail. The total oxidant state (TOS) value of the NaCMC-PPFMA blend, which was 0.72 μmol equivalent H2O2/L, increased to 7.2-10.4 μmol equivalent H2O2/L with the addition of Ag-ZnONPs. Ag-ZnONPs decreased total antioxidant state (TAS) levels of the nanocomposites while increasing their oxidant activity. Therefore, an increase in the antimicrobial activity of the nanocomposites was observed. Adding Ag-ZnONPs to the NaCMC-PPFMA blend increased the thermal stability by 22 °C and the Tg value by 9 °C. Finally, the potential of Ag-ZnONPs containing nanocomposites in wound healing therapies was examined. The findings suggest that nanocomposites prepared by incorporating Ag-ZnONPs into the semi-synthetic NaCMC-PPFMA blend can be a source of bio-safe raw materials and can be used as potential wound healers.

Alegbeleye O, Sant'Ana AS. Microbiological quality of irrigation water for cultivation of fruits and vegetables: An overview of available guidelines, water testing strategies and some factors that influence compliance. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 220:114771. [PMID: 36586712 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Revised: 11/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Contaminated irrigation water is among many potential vehicles of human pathogens to food plants, constituting significant public health risks especially for the fresh produce category. This review discusses some available guidelines or regulations for microbiological safety of irrigation water, and provides a summary of some common methods used for characterizing microbial contamination. The goal of such exploration is to understand some of the considerations that influence formulation of water testing guidelines, describe priority microbial parameters particularly with respect to food safety risks, and attempt to determine what methods are most suitable for their screening. Furthermore, the review discusses factors that influence the potential for microbiologically polluted irrigation water to pose substantial risks of pathogenic contamination to produce items. Some of these factors include type of water source exploited, irrigation methods, other agro ecosystem features/practices, as well as pathogen traits such as die-off rates. Additionally, the review examines factors such as food safety knowledge, other farmer attitudes or inclinations, level of social exposure and financial circumstances that influence adherence to water testing guidelines and other safe water application practices. A thorough understanding of relevant risk metrics for the application and management of irrigation water is necessary for the development of water testing criteria. To determine sampling and analytical approach for water testing, factors such as agricultural practices (which differ among farms and regionally), as well as environmental factors that modulate how water quality may affect the microbiological safety of produce should be considered. Research and technological advancements that can improve testing approach and the determination of target levels for hazard characterization or description for the many different pollution contexts as well as farmer adherence to testing requirements, are desirable.

Behoftadeh F, Faezi Ghasemi M, Mojtahedi A, Issazadeh K, Golshekan M, Alaei S. Development of a newly designed biosensor using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in the presence of acetaminophen for detection of Escherichia coli. Arch Microbiol 2023; 205:70. [PMID: 36680655 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-023-03418-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
Escherichia coli is one of the main indicators in the quality control of water, pharmaceuticals, and other samples. Compared with the time-consuming and high prices of the classical methods, with their high risks in the case of insensitive, contamination and offline detections, biosensors have long been a fast and accurate approach for identifying different bacteria. The present study reports the development of a newly electrochemical biosensor using a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified by multi-walled carbon nanotubes/AuNPs/E. coli polyclonal antibody/Bovine Serum Albumin in 0.1 M phosphate-buffered saline ( pH 7) in the presence of acetaminophen, for the detection of E. coli in pharmaceuticals and some real samples. Acetaminophen was added as an indicator for the detection of E. coli by changes in conductivity and current. To identify E. coli, square-wave voltammetry (SWV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) techniques were used. According to the obtained results of square-wave voltammetry, a limit of 3.02 CFU/ml E. coli detection in 3 min with desirable sensitivity, repeatability, and reproducibility was found with the designed biosensor. This biosensor could be a powerful tool for the detection of indicator bacteria in the food industry, drug safety, quality control, clinical diagnostics, and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
The rapid progress in modern technologies and paying more attention to food safety has prompted new green technologies superior than chemical methods in the food industry. In this regard, enzymes can decrease the usage of chemical reactions but they are sensitive to environmental effects (pH and temperature). In addition, enzymes are scarcely possible to be reused. Consequently, their application as natural catalysts is restricted. Using nanotechnology and the possibility of enzyme immobilization on nanomaterials has led to nanobiocatalysts, resulting from the integration of nanotechnology and biotechnology. Nanocarriers have individual features like nanoscale size, excellent surface/volume ratio, and diversity in construction to improve the activity, efficiency, stability, and storage stability of enzymes. Nanobiocatolysts have a wide range of applications in purification, extraction, clarification, production, and packaging of various products in the food industry. Furthermore, the application of nanobiocatalysts to identify specific components of food contaminants such as microorganisms or their metabolites, heavy metals, antibiotics, and residual pesticides has been successful due to the high accuracy of detection. This review investigates the integration of nanotechnology and food enzymes, the nanomaterials used to create nanobiocatalysts and their application, along with the possible risks and legal aspects of nanomaterials in food bioprocesses.
