Pesticides and heavy metal toxicity in fish and possible remediation – a review

Annals of Animal Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 24(4), P. 1007 - 1024

Published: Jan. 24, 2024

Abstract Pesticides and heavy metals are considered as potent contaminants in aquatic environment. Both sourced into the ecosystems by various types of anthropogenic well natural practices. Such contamination drastically affect normal activity associated living organisms particularly fish. pesticides toxicity cause several negative effects on fish growth, physiology, immune response, reproduction, embryonic larval development different histopathology major organs including gill, kidney, liver, gonads, intestine. Besides, consumption contaminated poses a serious health concern to consumers. Considering these issues, current review is designed investigate toxic aspects fishes along with their possible sources, types, mode action role medicinal herbs mitigate toxicity.

Sustainable pest management using plant secondary metabolites regulated azadirachtin nano-assemblies

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16(1)

Published: Feb. 18, 2025

Biopesticides have emerged as a global trend to minimize the risks associated with synthetic agrochemicals. However, their stability and efficacies remain challenges for widespread application. Herein, co-assembled nanoparticles (AT NPs or AP NPs) based on azadirachtin (AZA) tannic acid (TA) phenylalanine (PA) are constructed in aqueous solution through self-assembly technology. The small particle size, low PDI, high ζ-potential, related other physicochemical characteristics of can improve wettability, adhesiveness, rain erosion resistance, photostability compared commercial AZA formulation. Importantly, co-assemblies bidirectional pH-responsive disassembly acidic alkaline solutions, allow them respond microenvironmental stimuli targets enable controlled release AZA. nanosystems demonstrated remarkable vitro vivo insecticidal activities against Ostrinia furnacalis Aphis gossypii. This study illustrates distinctive perspective developing eco-friendly nanosystems, highlighting water-based treatment method biopesticides improved properties utilization efficiency. delivery limits Here, is plant secondary metabolites efficient drug delivery, demonstrating pest management, activation defensive capacity, while increasing production yield crops.

Yarrowia lipolytica Strains Engineered for the Production of Terpenoids

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 8

Published: Aug. 14, 2020

Terpenoids are a diverse group of over 55,000 compounds with potential applications as advanced fuels, bulk and fine chemicals, pharmaceutical ingredients, agricultural etc. To facilitate their bio-based production, there is need for plug-and-play hosts, capable high-level production different terpenoids. Here we engineer Y. lipolytica platform strains the overproduction mono-, sesqui-, di-, tri-, tetraterpenoids. The monoterpene strain was evaluated by expressing Perilla frutescens limonene synthase, which resulted in titer 35.9 mg/L 100-fold higher than when same enzyme expressed without mevalonate pathway improvement. Expression Callitropsis nootkatensis valencene synthase sesquiterpene 113.9 valencene, an 8.4-fold increase control strain. Platform squalene, complex triterpenes, or diterpenes carotenoids were also constructed 402.4 22 2,3-oxidosqualene, 164 β-carotene, respectively. presented terpenoid can evaluation biosynthetic pathways convenient starting point constructing efficient cell factories various exemplary be obtained from Euroscarf.

From by-products to new application opportunities: the enhancement of the leaves deriving from the fruit plants for new potential healthy products

Frontiers in Nutrition, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11

Published: June 4, 2024

In the last decades, world population and demand for any kind of product have grown exponentially. The rhythm production to satisfy request has become unsustainable concept linear economy, introduced after Industrial Revolution, been replaced by a new economic approach, circular economy. this model, “the end life” is substituted restoration, providing life many industrial wastes. Leaves are by-product several agricultural cultivations. recent years, scientific interest regarding leaf biochemical composition grew, recording that plant leaves may be considered an alternative source bioactive substances. Plant leaves’ main compounds similar those in fruits, i.e., phenolic acids esters, flavonols, anthocyanins, procyanidins. Bioactive can positively influence human health; fact, it no coincidence were used our ancestors as natural remedy various pathological conditions. Therefore, exploited manufacture products food (e.g., being incorporated formulations antioxidants, or create edible coatings films packaging), cosmetic pharmaceutical industries promising ingredients anti-aging cosmetics such oils, serums, dermatological creams, bath gels, other products). This review focuses on their beneficial health effects, indicating applications until today enhance them harvesting highlight possible reuse potential healthy products.
