[PMID: 38755625 PMCID: PMC11097580 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02415-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM The antifungal activity was studied on sessile and persister cells (PCs) of Candida tropicalis biofilms of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) stabilized with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB-AuNPs) and those conjugated with cysteine, in combination with Amphotericin B (AmB). MATERIALS/METHODS The PC model was used and synergistic activity was tested by the checkerboard assay. Biofilms were studied by crystal violet and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS After the combination of both AuNPs and AmB the biofilm biomass was reduced, with significant differences in architecture being observed with a reduced biofilm matrix. In addition, the CTAB-AuNPs-AmB combination significantly reduced PCs. Understanding how these AuNPs aid in the fight against biofilms and the development of new approaches to eradicate PCs has relevance for chronic infection treatment.

Abstract
The rise of antimicrobial resistance caused by inappropriate use of these agents in various settings has become a global health threat. Nanotechnology offers the potential for the synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) with antimicrobial activity, such as iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). The use of IONPs is a promising way to overcome antimicrobial resistance or pathogenicity because of their ability to interact with several biological molecules and to inhibit microbial growth. In this review, we outline the pivotal findings over the past decade concerning methods for the green synthesis of IONPs using bacteria, fungi, plants, and organic waste. Subsequently, we delve into the primary challenges encountered in green synthesis utilizing diverse organisms and organic materials. Furthermore, we compile the most common methods employed for the characterization of these IONPs. To conclude, we highlight the applications of these IONPs as promising antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiviral agents.

Abstract
Environment-benign synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) are of great importance. Plant-based polyphenols (PPs) are electron donor analytes for the synthesis of metal and metal oxide NPs. This work produced and investigated iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) from PPs of tea leaves of Camellia sinensis var. assamica for Cr(VI) removal. The conditions for IONPs synthesis were using RSM CCD and found to be optimum at a time of 48 min, temperature of 26 °C, and iron precursors/leaves extract ratio (v/v) of 0.36. Further, these synthesized IONPs at a dosage of 0.75 g/L, temperature of 25 °C, and pH 2 achieved a maximum of 96% Cr(VI) removal from 40 mg/L of Cr(VI) concentration. The exothermic adsorption process followed the pseudo-second-order model, and Langmuir isotherm estimated a remarkable maximum adsorption capacity (Qm) of 1272 mg g-1 of IONPs. The proposed mechanistic for Cr(VI) removal and detoxification involved adsorption and its reduction to Cr(III), followed by Cr(III)/Fe(III) co-precipitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One-third of the world's population has anemia, contributing to higher morbidity and death and impaired neurological development. Conventional anemia treatment raises concerns about iron bioavailability and gastrointestinal (GI) adverse effects. This research aims to establish how iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) interact with probiotic cells and how they affect iron absorption, bioavailability, and microbiota variation. METHODS Pointing to the study of the literature and developing a review and critical synthesis, a robust search methodology was utilized by the authors. The literature search was performed in the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Information was collected between January 2017 and June 2022 using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) protocols for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. We identified 122 compatible research articles. RESULTS The research profile of the selected scientific articles revealed the efficacy of IONPs treatment carried by probiotics versus conventional treatment. Therefore, the authors employed content assessment on four topics to synthesize previous studies. The key subjects of the reviewed reports are the characteristics of the IONPs synthesis method, the evaluation of cell absorption and cytotoxicity of IONPs, and the transport of IONPs with probiotics in treating anemia. CONCLUSIONS To ensure a sufficient iron level in the enterocyte, probiotics with the capacity to attach to the gut wall transport IONPs into the enterocyte, where the maghemite nanoparticles are released.

Abstract
Aim: To investigate the antifungal activity of two different functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNP), those stabilized with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and those conjugated with cysteine, and their effects on the architecture of Candida tropicalis biofilms. Materials & methods: Biofilms were studied by crystal violet binding assay and scanning electron microscopy. We investigated the effects of AuNPs on reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen intermediates and enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant defenses. Results/Conclusion: The fungicidal activity and cellular stress of both AuNPs affected biofilm growth through accumulation of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen intermediates. However, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-stabilized AuNPs revealed a higher redox imbalance. We correlated, for the first time, AuNP effects with the redox imbalance and alterations in the architecture of C. tropicalis biofilms.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a booming avenue in science and has a multitude of applications in health, agriculture, and industry. It exploits materials’ size at nanoscale (1–100 nm) known as nanoparticles (NPs). These nanoscale constituents are made via chemical, physical, and biological methods; however, the biological approach offers multiple benefits over the other counterparts. This method utilizes various biological resources for synthesis (microbes, plants, and others), which act as a reducing and capping agent. Among these sources, microbes provide an excellent platform for synthesis and have been recently exploited in the synthesis of various metallic NPs, in particular iron. Owing to their biocompatible nature, superparamagnetic properties, small size efficient, permeability, and absorption, they have become an integral part of biomedical research. This review focuses on microbial synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles using various species of bacteria, fungi, and yeast. Possible applications and challenges that need to be addressed have also been discussed in the review; in particular, their antimicrobial and anticancer potentials are discussed in detail along with possible mechanisms. Moreover, some other possible biomedical applications are also highlighted. Although iron oxide nanoparticles have revolutionized biomedical research, issues such as cytotoxicity and biodegradability are still a major bottleneck in the commercialization of these nanoparticle-based products. Addressing these issues should be the topmost priority so that the biomedical industry can reap maximum benefit from iron oxide nanoparticle-based products.

Abstract
Cadmium and salinity are the major threats to environmental resources and agricultural practice worldwide. The present work aims green synthesis, characterization, and application of iron oxide nanoparticles for co-alleviation of Cd and salt stresses in wheat plants. The iron oxide NPs were synthesized from a native bacterial strain, Pantoea ananatis strain RNT4, yielding a spherical FeO-NPs with a size ranging from 19 to 40 nm evidenced by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. Results showed that application of 100 mg kg-1 of the bioengineered FeO-NPs in an original saline soil stimulated wheat plant growth, gaining 36.7% of additional length as compared with the control scenarios, via alleviating the detrimental effects of abiotic stresses and thereby reprogramming the morpho-physiological state of wheat plants. In addition, the presence of FeO-NPs in soil significantly increased the nutrient concentrations of N, P and K+, while reducing the Na+ and Cl- components in the wheat grain. Interestingly, application of the FeO-NPs in Cd-polluted soils eventually reduced wheat plant uptake of Cd by 72.5%, probably due to the adsorption of Cd onto the large surface of NPs and thereby, constraining Cd bioavailability to the plants. It provides the first evidence that a FeO-NPs-based treatment could be a candidate agricultural strategy for mitigating the Cd and salt stresses in Cd-polluted saline soils for safe agriculture practice.

Abstract
In recent years, nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been gradually applied in soil remediation due to its strong reducing ability and large specific surface area. Compared to conventional remediation solutions, in situ remediation using nZVI offers some unique advantages. In this review, respective merits and demerits of each approach to nZVI synthesis are summarized in detail, particularly the most commonly used aqueous-phase reduction method featuring surface modification. In order to overcome undesired oxidation and agglomeration of fresh nZVI due to its high reactivity, modifications of nZVI have been developed such as doping with transition metals, stabilization using macromolecules or surfactants, and sulfidation. Mechanisms underlying efficient removal of organic pollutants enabled by the modified nZVI lie in alleviative oxidation and agglomeration of nZVI and enhanced electron utilization efficiency. In addition to chemical modification, other assisting methods for further improving nZVI mobility and reactivity, such as electrokinetics and microbial technologies, are evaluated. The effects of different remediation technologies and soil physicochemical properties on remediation performance of nZVI are also summarized. Overall, this review offers an up-to-date comprehensive understanding of nZVI-driven soil remediation from scientific and practical perspectives.

Abstract
Cadmium and drought are the most destructive of the abiotic stresses with negative consequences in terms of impaired metabolism, restricted nutrient use efficiency and disruptive photosynthesis of plants. The present study investigated the mitigation strategy of both aforementioned stresses by the application of iron oxide (IONPs) and hydrogel nanoparticles (HGNPs) simultaneously probably for the first time. IONPs were biofabricated by using a locally identified Bacillus strain RNT1, while HGNPs were produced chemically followed by the confirmation and characterization of both NPs through nanomaterials characterization techniques. Results of FTIR and XRD showed the capping of NPs by different functional groups together with their crystalline structure, respectively. SEM and TEM analysis showed the spherical shape along with the particle size ranging from 18 to 94 nm of both NPs, while EDS analysis confirmed the elemental purity of NPs. The results revealed that IONPs-treated rice plants increased biomass, antioxidant enzyme contents, photosynthesis efficiency, nutrient acquisition together with the decrease in reactive oxygen species and acropetal Cd translocation under normal and drought stress conditions as compared with control plants. Furthermore, the expression of the Cd transporter genes, OsHMA2, OsHMA3 and OsLCT1 were curtailed in NPs-treated rice plants under normal and drought stress conditions. The overall significance of the study lies in devising the NPs-based solutions of increasing heavy metal pollution and water availability challenges being faced the farmers around the world.

Abstract
Nanoparticles promise to revolutionize the way we think of ordinary materials thanks to the new features such small structures exhibit which include strength, durability, optical and magnetics properties. Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are a prominent class of NMs because of their potential application in magnetic separation, hyperthermia, targeted drug delivery, and catalysis. Most synthetic nanoparticulate platforms rely on the use of tough chemical procedures associated with unfriendly, harmful and costly reactants. For this reason, bio-inspired approaches have become the most successful alternatives to fabricate nanomaterials in an "eco-friendly" manner, and many bio-protocols that make use of substrates from plants and microorganisms have been successfully applied in the synthesis of magnetic IONPs. In this review, the main biosynthesis protocols applied in the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles are discussed. A discussion on the challenges for a second stage perspective which would be a large scale production is also given.

Abstract
The oxidative stress generation in bacteria by the presence of antibiotics (in this case silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)) is already widely known. Previously, we demonstrated that AgNPs generate oxidative stress in Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli mediated by the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this work we are demonstrating the consequences of the oxidative stress by the presence of AgNPs; these bacterial strains increased the levels of oxidized proteins and lipids. In addition, it was possible to determine which reactive oxygen species are mainly responsible for the oxidative damage to macromolecules. Also, we found that the bacterial DNA was fragmented and the membrane potential was modified. This increase in the levels of ROS found in both, S. aureus and E. coli, was associated with the oxidation of different types of important macromolecules for the normal functioning of cell, so the oxidative stress would be one of the mechanisms by which the AgNPs would exert their toxicity in both strains, one Gram positive and the other Gram negative of great clinical relevance.
