Seaweed Mediated Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Gracilaria fergusonii J.Ag. Collected From Hare Island, Thoothukudi in the South East Coast of Tamil Nadu, India
Abstract: In the present study silver nanoparticles were synthesized using the aqueous extract of red seaweed Gracilaria fergusonii J.Ag. as the reducing agent. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by colour change from light yellow to dark brownish red, UV– visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, X-ray diffraction method (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis spectroscopy (EDS). The anoparticles showed an absorbance at 442 nm on UV–visible spectroscopy. The …

An Evaluation of Lactate Dehydrogenase in the Lindane Exposed Fresh Water Fish, Channa punctatus
Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and its isozyme profile in the lindane exposed fish, Channa punctatus, after 96h treatment with three subacute concentrations (0.025, 0.05, 0.1mg/l)). The results showed decreased activity of LDH in different organs of the fish; the values recorded were in following order: gills>brain>liver>muscle>heart>kidney. The maximum decrease was found in liver (22.53%) and minimum in muscle (12.74%). …

In Vitro Evaluation of Bioremediation Capacity of a Commercial Probiotic, Bacillus clausii, for Chromium (VI) and Lead (II) Toxicity
Abstract: Heavy metals cause disastrous effects on any living organisms. Probiotics have the ability to reduce metal toxicity. Commercial probiotics having bioremediation capacity can use these bacteria as an alternative to conventional remediation methods. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals including chromium (VI) (Cr [VI]) and lead (II) (Pb [II]) causes fatal toxicity in humans. Some naturally occurring bacterial species, such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas, contribute their role in bioremediation of these …
