Water pollution is a burning issue that can originate from both urbanization and industrialization. This study aimed to evaluate the industrial wastewater collected from Hayatabad Industrial Estate and to use indigenous bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter aerogenes for bioremediation. The water samples collected were analyzed for phys...

The bio‐reductive fabrication of nanomaterials is a developing arena of study that seeks to fabricate nanoparticles (NPs) using microorganisms, plants, and animal blood. However, the chemical approach of AgNPs fulfills the need of abundant need of NPs. In contrast, chemically fabricated AgNPs are more toxic than biological AgNPs. Therefore, the cur...

Background Mentha arvensis has been utilized in diverse traditional medicines as an antidiabetic, anticarcinogenic, antiallergic, antifungal, and antibacterial agent. In this work, we have explored the phytochemical analyses and pharmacological potential of Mentha arvensis using both in silico and in vitro approaches for drug discovery. Methods To...

Nanotechnology (NT) in the past and current decade has gained a lot of attention due to its potent antibacterial activities and its unique physicochemical features. NT works based on nanoparticles in which silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are one of the most vital and fascinating nanomaterials. Therefore, AgNPs have been used for a variety of items, wi...

Background Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the epicenter is facing transcending psychiatric problems. To assess the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental well-being of the community of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan), a cross-sectional study design was used to find out depression and anxiety after the first wave of the pandemic....

Nanotechnology has revealed profound possibilities for the applications in applied sciences. The nanotechnology works based on nanoparticles. Among nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles largely introduced into aquatic environments during fabrication. Which cause severe contamination in the environment specially in freshwater fish. Therefore, the curr...

Nanotechnology is a new field that has gained considerable importance due to its potential uses in the field of biosciences, medicine, engineering, etc. In the present study, bio-inspired metallic iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) were prepared using biomass of Enterobacter train G52. The prepared particles were characterized by UV-spectroscopy, TGA, XRD,...

We presented a low-cost, eco-friendly, and efficient bacterium-mediated synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) utilizing Paraclostridium benzoelyticum strain 5610 as a capping and reducing agent. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray, and UV-vis spectroscopy were u...

In the modern era, nanotechnology and nanoparticles are being emerged very quickly, and have attracted remarkable attention due to their influential biomedical and industrial activities. However, their interaction with the environment and toxicity in terrestrial and aquatic organisms is a matter of intense debate. More detailed knowledge is still r...

In the present study Mentha arvensis medaited Magnesium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by novel green route followed by advanced characterization via XRD, FTIR, UV, SEM, TEM, DLS and TGA. The mean grain size of 32.4 nm and crystallite fcc morphology were confirmed by X-ray diffractive analysis. Scanning and Transmission electron microscopy an...
