Seyedalangi M, Sari AH, Nowruzi B, Anvar SAA. The synergistic effect of dielectric barrier discharge plasma and phycocyanin on shelf life of Oncorhynchus mykiss rainbow fillets. Sci Rep 2024; 14:9174. [PMID: 38649495 PMCID: PMC11035654 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-59904-9] [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: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of dielectric barrier discharge treatment (DBD) combined with phycocyanin pigment (PC) in extending the shelf life of Oncorhynchus mykiss rainbow fillets stored at 4 ± 0.1 °C. Microbiological, physicochemical, sensory and antioxidant properties were assessed over an 18-day storage period. The combined DBD and PC treatment significantly inhibited total viable counts and Psychrotrophic bacteria counts compared to the rest of the samples throughout storage. While Total Volatile Nitrogen concentrations remained below international standard until day 18, they exceeded this threshold in control sample by day 9. DBD treatment notably reduced Trimethylamine levels compared to controls (p < 0.05). PC and DBD combined inhibited DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging capacities by 80% and 85%, respectively, while demonstrating heightened iron-reducing antioxidant activity compared to controls. Analysis of 24 fatty acids indicated that PC mitigated DBD's adverse effects, yielding superior outcomes compared to controls. The ratio of n-3 to n-6 fatty acids in all samples met or fell below international standard. Thus, the combined use of DBD and PC shows promise in extending fillet shelf life by over 15 days at 4 °C.

Abstract
The increasing global population is driving the development of alternative sources of food and energy, as well as better or new alternatives for health and environmental care, which represent key challenges in the field of biotechnology. Microalgae represent a very important source material to produce several high-value-added bioproducts. Due to the rapid changes in the modern world, there is a need to build new materials for use, including those in the nanometer size, although these developments may be chronological but often do not occur at a time. In the last few years, a new frontier has opened up at the interface of biotechnology and nanotechnology. This new frontier could help microalgae-based nanomaterials to possess new functions and abilities. Processes for the green synthesis of nanomaterials are being investigated, and the availability of biological resources such as microalgae is continuously being examined. The present review provides a concise overview of the recent advances in the synthesis, characterization, and applications of nanoparticles formed using a wide range of microalgae-based biosynthesis processes. Highlighting their innovative and sustainable potential in current research, our study contributes towards the in-depth understanding and provides latest updates on the alternatives offered by microalgae in the synthesis of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Cyanobacteria are widespread phototrophic microorganisms that represent a promising biotechnological tool to satisfy current sustainability and circularity requirements. They are potential bio-factories of a wide range of compounds that can be exploited in several fields including bioremediation and nanotechnology sectors. This article aims to illustrate the most recent trends in the use of cyanobacteria for the bioremoval (i.e., cyanoremediation) of heavy metals and metal recovery and reuse. Heavy metal biosorption by cyanobacteria can be combined with the consecutive valorization of the obtained metal-organic materials to get added-value compounds, including metal nanoparticles, opening the field of phyconanotechnology. It is thus possible that the use of combined approaches could increase the environmental and economic feasibility of cyanobacteria-based processes, promoting the transition toward a circular economy.

Abstract
Photosynthetic microbes like brown algae, red algae, green-algae and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) are utilized extensively for various commercial and industrial purposes. However, in recent time, their application has shifted to nanotechnology. The synthesis of metal nanoparticles using algal resources is known as Phyconanotechnology. Due to various advantages of the photosynthetic microbes such as presence of bioactive molecules, scalability, high metal uptake and cultivability, these microbes form ideal sources for nanoparticle synthesis. The green synthesis of nanoparticles is a non-toxic and environment-friendly alternative compared to other hazardous chemical and physical routes of synthesis. Several species of algae are explored for the fabrication of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. Various physical characterization techniques collectively contribute in defining the surface morphology of nanoparticles and the existing functional groups for bioreduction and stability. A wide range of nanostructured metals like gold, silver, copper, zinc, iron, platinum and palladium are fabricated using algae and cyanobacteria. Due to the unique properties of the phycogenic nanoparticles, biocompatibility and safety aspects, all of these metal nanoparticles have their applications in facets like infection control, diagnosis, drug delivery, biosensing and bioremediation. Herein, the uniqueness of the phycogenic nanoparticles along with their distinctive antibacterial, antifungal, antibiofilm, algaecidal, antiviral, anticancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic, dye degradation, metal removal and catalytic properties are featured. Lastly, this work highlights the various challenges and future perspectives for further exploration of the biogenic metal nanoparticles for development of nanomedicine and environmental remediation in the coming years.

Abstract
Increasing wastewater pollution owing to the briskly rising human population, rapid industrialization, and fast urbanization has necessitated highly efficient wastewater treatment technologies. Although several methods of wastewater treatments are in practice, expensiveness, use of noxious chemicals, generation of unsafe by-products, and longer time consumption restrain their use to a great extent. Over the last few decades, nanotechnological wastewater treatment approaches have received widespread recognition globally. Microbially fabricated nanoparticles reduce the utilization of reducing, capping, and stabilizing agents, and exhibit higher adsorptive and catalytic efficiency than chemically synthesized nanomaterials. The present review comprehensively summarizes the applications of microbial nanotechnology in the removal of a wide range of noxious wastewater pollutants. Moreover, prospects and challenges associated with the integration of nanotechnology with other biological treatment technologies including algal-membrane bioreactor, aerobic digestion, microbial fuel cells, and microbial nanofiber webs have also been briefly discussed.

Abstract
The present work describes a facile synthesis of silver nanoparticles from calotropis procera (CP-AgNPs). The CP-AgNPs were well characterized by many methods. The synthesized CP-AgNPs are stable for more than 5 months. Then we have used CP-AgNPs as photo catalysts for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) dye. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency was 0.0076. Moreover, we also have studied the antibacterial activity against pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), klebsiella pneumonia (KP), staphylococcus aureus (SA) and bacillus subtilis (BS) bacteria. Interestingly, all four different bacteria causing biofilm were inhibited by CP-AgNPs by 80%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles from calotropis procera plant latex. Furthermore, CP-AgNPs effectively were applied as photo catalysts for the degradation of MO dye and also as anti-biofilm agents.

The Using of Nanoparticles of Microalgae in Remediation of Toxic Dye from Industrial Wastewater: Kinetic and Isotherm Studies. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15113922.

Abstract
Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to study the removal of the toxic Methylene Blue Dye (MBD) from synthetic aqueous solutions using the nanoparticles form of Arthrospira platensis NIOF17/003. The adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for MBD was investigated using different amounts of A. platensis nanoparticles at different contact times, temperatures, pH, and MBD initial concentrations in the synthetic aqueous solution. In addition, A. platensis nanoparticles were characterized using Electron Microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and Ultraviolet spectra (UV) techniques. The optimum removal of MBD was found at a concentration of 0.4 g A. platensis nanoparticles. A. platensis nanoparticles remove 93% of MBD in 5 min (under agitation conditions at 150 rpm). The highest adsorption capacity was found by the Langmuir model to be 58.8 mg g−1. It is an endothermic process with spontaneity increasing with temperature. The probable mechanism for the adsorption is chemisorption via surface-active charges in the initial phase, which is followed by physical sorption by occupying pores of A. platensis. MBD adsorption by A. platensis follows pseudo-second-order kinetics. The Freundlich and Langmuir models fit well with the experimental data. The adsorption experiments suggested that the regeneration of the adsorbents was possible for repeated use, especially regarding MBD up to 65.8% after three cycles, which proves it can be easily recycled. In conclusion, the nanoparticles of A. platensis have a significant adsorption potential in the removal of MBD from effluent wastewater.

Abstract
Based on their functional groups, the use of various seaweed forms in phytoremediation has recently gained significant eco-friendly importance. The objective of this study was to determine whether a novel, sustainable, and ecologically acceptable adsorbent could be employed to remove toxic textile dye (Ismate Violet 2R (IV2R)) from an aqueous solution. The low-cost adsorbent was prepared from the nanoparticles form of the native red seaweed species, Pterocladia capillacea. Before and after the adsorption procedure, comprehensive characterization experiments on the bio-adsorbent were carried out, including BET, SEM, FTIR, UV, and dynamic light scattering (DLS) examination. The adsorption performance of the prepared nano-Pterocladia capillacea was optimized by adjusting operating parameters such as the initial dye concentration of 60 mg L−1, pH of 2, and contact time of 15 min, all of which were obtained by batch experiments in the lab. At the optimum conditions, the prepared adsorbent had maximum removal effectiveness of 87.2%. Most typical kinetics and isotherm models were used to test the experimental results. The equilibrium data fit well with the Langmuir isotherm model, with comparatively higher R2 values and fewer standard errors, while the pseudo-second-order kinetic model fits better with a decent correlation coefficient. Thermodynamic parameters revealed that the sorption process on nano-alga was exothermic and spontaneous.

Abstract
Biosynthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) by Sphingomonas paucimobilis B34 bacteria was successfully achieved and followed by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The biosynthesized TiO2NPs were spherical in shape with an average particle size of 15.6 nm. These TiO2NPs were used as nono-catalyst for removing of malachite green (MG) dye (at 103 mol/L) from wastewater solution. As indicated by the results, the biosynthesized TiO2NPs represented a capable approach for MG removal with up to 83 % efficiency. The removal process was found to follow a pseudo-first-order kinetics. Furthermore, the developed TiO2NPs-MG hybrid nanocomposite was efficiently removed from the medium by using Spirulina platensis cyanobacterial biomass after wastewater treatment. S. platensis biomass was able to remove up to 89.43 % of the hybrid nanocomposite by a biosorption process. The resultant water effluent, after TiO2NPs-MG removal, showed no toxicity towards Vigna radiate L. seedlings implying its safety for agriculture purposes. According to the obtained results, S. platensis living biomass could play a dual re-cycling role, as natural biosorbent for removing both nanoparticles and dye (TiO2NPs-MG hybrid nano-composite) from solution after wastewater treatment for healthier environmental management.

Abstract
Synthetic dyes are toxic and their release into the environment harms the ecosystem. Phycoremediation of synthetic dyes with acclimatized and native species has advantages over other methods. In this study, textile effluent-acclimatized microalgae species of Oscillatoria were grown in Bold's Basal Medium (BBM), dried, powdered using sonication, and optimized the removal malachite green (MG), using the response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of algal biosorbent concentration (AC), pH, and contact time (CT) were studied with 1 g L-1 MG in an aqueous solution, and the interaction model exerted significance (p < 0.001). The removal of MG was higher at alkaline pH (90% at pH 8.5) than at acidic pH (70% at pH 4). Under the optimized conditions of 1.2 g L-1 AC, 8.5 pH, and 30 min CT, the MG removal was documented at 90.8% with the biosorption capacity of 757 mg g-1. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the occurrence of different electronegative functional groups, aromatic vibrations, and the crystalline nature of the biosorbent. The algal sorbent exhibited a good performance of 80.9% for the removal of the crude color in real textile effluents. This microalgal sorbent is an attractive option for promoting large-scale applications.

Abstract
Green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) has gained great concern among researchers due to their unique properties, excellent applications and efficient route of synthesis. From the last decades, the number biologicals such as plants, fungus, bacteria, yeast, algae, and cyanobacteria and their products are using by various researchers for the synthesis of different NPs. However, the pillar of green chemistry keeps touching new heights to improve the performance. This review paper unveils almost recent cyanobacteria-assisted greener NP synthesis technique, characterization and application. The enormous potency of cyanobacteria in NP synthesis (silver, gold, copper, zinc, palladium, titanium, cadmium sulfide, and selenium) and significance of reducing enzymes were summarized. The extracellular and intracellular entity such as metabolites, enzyme, protein, pigments in cyanobacteria play a significant role in the conversion of metal ions to metal NPs with unique properties discussed briefly. The green synthesis of nanomaterials is valuable because of their cost-effective, nontoxic and eco-friendly prospects as well as the potential application metal NPs such as antibacterial, antifungal, anticancerous, catalytic, drug delivery, bioimaging, nanopesticide, nanofertilizer, sensing properties, etc. Therefore, in the present review, we have systematically discussed the mechanisms of synthesis and applications of cyanobacteria-assisted green synthesis of NPs.
