Ecologically facilitative green approach for synthesizing gold nanoparticles: a screening study of bioactivities by Sumaira Mumtaz, Ietzaz Husain, Muhammad Javid Iqbal

“…The FTIR spectra of Au*nps indicated the role of different functional groups (alkane, aromatic ester, thiol, nitro, and aldehyde) of EMk during synthesis. The TEM analysis illustrated a 50 nm size of Au*nps; SEM showed the presence of some aggregates; EDX represented elemental nature, and XRD proved the crystalline nature of these Au*nps. …”

Isolation and preliminary analysis of a lytic bacteriophage infecting Agrobacterium tumefaciens to control bacterial overgrowth during plant transformation by Anandito Dharmawan, Muhammad Alhas Finaldin, Yuzer Alfiko, Naswandi Nur, Sigit Purwantomo, Antonius Suwanto, Anja Meryandini

“…Bacteriophage WB (ΦWB) was isolated from wastewater in Cikarang, West Java, produces a clear plaque with an average diameter of 3.92 ± 0.22 mm. Cryo-TEM analysis classified ΦWB as a Myovirus, showing an icosahedral capsid (66.04 ± 2.17 nm), a neck (10.70 ± 1.25 nm), and a contractile tail (72.93 ± 2.48 nm uncontracted; 48.37 ± 3.86 nm contracted). …”

Carbohydrate-binding domain CBM63 of microbial expansin-like BsEXLX1 facilitates the adsorption of expansin-related proteins to hemicelluloses in plant secondary cell walls by Pramod Sivan, Deepika Dahiya, Ylenia Jabalera, Taru Koitto, Raul Perez-Jimenez, Ewa J. Mellerowicz, Emma Master, Francisco Vilaplana

“…Results The immunofluorescence labelling of fresh wood samples showed a weak signal for PcaLOOL12 and a strong signal for BsEXLX1 and PcaLOOL12-CBM63, suggesting the importance of CBM63 for protein adsorption to SCW components. TEM analysis after immunogold labelling revealed the presence of BsEXLX1 and PcaLOOL12-CBM63 in all secondary cell wall layers. …”
