Abstract

Researchers at Government College University in Faisalabad, Pakistan, have conducted a study on synthesizing Cr-Cu-C ternary carbide using a sol-gel technique. The study aimed to produce transition metal carbides within the Cr-Cu-C system by varying elemental ratios. The materials showed strong antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-cancer effects, indicating potential for diverse biomedical applications. The research has been peer-reviewed and provides insights into the structural, morphological, and antimicrobial properties of the synthesized materials. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

The following areas are discussed in this paper: immobilisation of bacterial consortium in sol-gel; methyl parathion degradation and bioremediation applications; evaluation of indigenous bacterial isolates of contaminated soils. Bacterial strains were isolated from agricultural areas of Pakistan which were contaminated with methyl parathion. A bacterial consortium of seven (out of 64) Enterobacteriaceae isolates including Citrobacter, Enterobacter and Proteus vulgaris capable of degrading methyl parathion (enzyme activity ranging 410-675 mU mL-1 for individual isolates and 982 mU/mL for consortium) was selected and subsequently immobilised in tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and sodium-silicate-based sol-gel matrices. Cell viability of suspended and immobilised bacterial consortium was monitored using a minimal salt medium supplemented with methyl parathion. The results indicate that sol-gel immobilisation can be helpful to increase the shelf life of methyl parathion degrading bacterial strains along with preservation of biological activity for bioremediation applications in field.
