Nanomaterial-mediated strategies for enhancing bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: A systematic review

mycolabadmin

This review examines how combining tiny engineered materials (nanomaterials) with natural microorganisms can more effectively clean up environmental pollution from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are harmful chemicals produced by burning fossil fuels and other processes. The study found that using nanomaterials alongside bacteria significantly improved pollution removal rates in water and soil, with improvements of up to 19% in liquid samples and 14% in soil samples. Different types of nanomaterials like carbon-based materials and metal oxides work by helping bacteria degrade pollutants more efficiently through various mechanisms. This approach offers a more sustainable and environmentally friendly solution compared to using traditional remediation methods alone.

In vitro and in vivo inhibitory effects and transcriptional reactions of graphene oxide on Verticillium dahliae

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered that graphene oxide, a nanomaterial, can effectively kill or inhibit the growth of Verticillium dahliae, a harmful fungus that causes wilt disease in cotton and other crops. The graphene oxide works by damaging the fungus’s cell membranes and disrupting its ability to grow and spread. When applied to cotton plants infected with this fungus, graphene oxide treatment reduced disease symptoms and prevented the fungus from multiplying. This research suggests graphene oxide could become a valuable alternative to chemical fungicides for controlling this destructive plant disease.

In vitro and in vivo inhibitory effects and transcriptional reactions of graphene oxide on Verticillium dahliae

mycolabadmin

Graphene oxide, a nanomaterial derived from graphene, effectively inhibits the growth of Verticillium dahliae, a fungus that causes devastating wilt disease in cotton and many other plants. The study shows that graphene oxide damages the fungal cell membrane and disrupts key metabolic processes, preventing the fungus from growing and infecting plants. When applied to cotton plants, graphene oxide treatment significantly reduced wilt disease symptoms, suggesting it could be a promising alternative to chemical fungicides for controlling this important agricultural disease.
