This work may be the first of its kind to assess the effects of varying inclusion levels of garlic nanoparticles (NPsG) as feed additives on growth and physiological indices in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ). Garlic contains an organosulfur compound called allicin that can promote growth and strengthen the immune system by stimulating appetite and the intestinal flora, thus enhancing energy utilization. Nanotechnology...

Lornoxicam-loaded chitosan-coated Litsea lipid nanocarriers (LRX-CS-LLCs) were developed as an innovative oral delivery system, combining the synergistic anti-inflammatory effects of Litsea cubeba oil with the mucoadhesive properties of chitosan. The GC/MS analysis of Litsea cubeba oil identified α -citral (47.56%), β -citral (26.86%), and D -limonene (14.00%). Various LRX-loaded LLCs were prepared and optimized. Fourier trans...

Improving sperm quality is essential for enhancing the reproductive efficiency of Oreochromis niloticus . This study evaluated the effect of three dietary antioxidant supplements, kaolinite-doped zinc oxide (ZnO-K), citrus essential oil (CEO), and pumpkin seed oil (PSO), on sperm quality parameters. A suite of integrative assessments, including Computer-Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA) parameters, spermatozoa DNA integrity, anti...

The biological synthesis of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) involves utilizing cellulose-degrading microorganisms or their hydrolytic enzymes as catalysts for the controlled degradation of cellulose, yielding CNCs. Chemical synthesis of CNCs involves acid hydrolysis conducted for 45 min at 45 °C using sulfuric acid (64%). Neurospora intermedia (Assiut University Mycological Center (AUMC) 14,359), Fusarium verticillioides (AUMC 1...

Identifying novel natural sources from the marine environment with unique immunomodulatory and antioxidant efficacies is of interest in intensive fish farming. In this sense, marine sponge extract derived from Smenospongia (SS-extract) was tested for its potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities during the concurrent infection with Trichodina sp. and Flavobacterium columnare in Nile tilapia. A total...

Ancient environmental samples, including permafrost soils and frozen animal remains, represent an archive with microbial communities that have barely been explored. This yet unexplored microbial world is a genetic resource that may provide us with new evolutionary insights into recent genomic changes, as well as novel metabolic pathways and chemistry. Here, we describe Actinomycetota Micromonospora , Oerskovia , Saccharopolysp...
