Journal ArticleDOI
Anticancer activity of biogenerated silver nanoparticles: an integrated proteomic investigation.
Miriam Buttacavoli,Nadia Ninfa Albanese,Gianluca Di Cara,Rosa Alduina,Claudia Faleri,Michele Gallo,Giuseppe Pizzolanti,Giuseppe Gallo,Salvatore Feo,Franco Baldi,Patrizia Cancemi +10 more
TL;DR: Silver nanoparticles embedded into a specific polysaccharide (EPS), were biogenerated by Klebsiella oxytoca DSM 29614 under aerobic and anaerobic conditions and indicated that the Ag+ accumulated preferentially in mitochondria and in smaller concentrations in nucleus, where interact with DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioaccumulation of Methylmercury and Transformation of Inorganic Mercury by Macrofungi
TL;DR: By an in vitro methylation experiment with two axenic cultures ofCoprinus comatus and Coprinus radians, it is shown for the first time that these saprophytic macromycetes are able to methyl ate mercury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adhesion of acinetobacter venetianus to diesel fuel droplets studied with In situ electrochemical and molecular probes
Franco Baldi,Nadica Ivošević,Andrea Minacci,Milva Pepi,Renato Fani,Vesna Svetličić,Vera Zutic +6 more
TL;DR: Confocal microscope observations at different times showed that VE-C3 underwent two types of adhesion: (i) cell-to-cell interactions, preceding the cell adhesion to the n-alkane, and (ii) incorporation of nanodroplets of n-alksane into the hydrophilic CPS to form a more hydrophobic polysaccharide–n-alkanes matrix surrounding the cell wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methylmercury Resistance in Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Strains in Relation to Methylmercury Degradation.
TL;DR: Two strains of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, one known to synthesize monomethylmercury from ionic mercury, were grown to determine methylmercuries toxicity and for comparison with an anaerobic strain of Clostridium pasteurianum and with the broad-spectrum mercury-resistant Pseudomonas putida strain FB-1.
Journal ArticleDOI
An antarctic psychrotrophic bacterium Halomonas sp. ANT-3b, growing on n-hexadecane, produces a new emulsyfying glycolipid
TL;DR: Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence indicates that the strain ANT-3b has 99.8% sequence similarity with Halomonas neptunia, and contact between the glycolipid secreted by the strain and n-hexadecane broken down to nanodroplets at the water interface, to form a material with mesophase (liquid crystal) organisation.
