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 …

Trichoderma Based Synthesis of Silver Oxide Nanoparticles, Their Characterization and Assessment of Antifungal Activity
Abstract: The fungal spore suspension of Trichoderma harzianum was used for the preparation of AgO nanoparticles. T. harzianum spore suspension acts as reducing and stabilizing agent for the fabrication of nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-analysis (EDAX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The AgO nanoparticles were circular in shape with average diameter 10-20 nm. The AgO nanoparticles showed promising antifungal …

Studying the Effects of Extracts that Prevent Corrosion on Sheet Metal in an Acidic Condition
Abstract: The prevention of corrosion in steel materials in acidic conditions is summarized in this paper. There are many accelerated corrosion preventives for acidic solutions available. High temperatures, lowgrade steels, and HCl solutions are the main focus points. The creation of corrosion inhibitor compositions which combine corrosion inhibitors with surfactants, solvents, and expressions to increase the potency of single compounds at extreme temperatures is another focus of this analysis. This review’s …
