TL;DR: It is found that the zone of inhibition is well seen in oral pathogens such as Lactobacillussp and Streptococcus mutants, the values are found to be increased as the Zone of inhibition increases.
Abstract: The nanomaterials and nanoparticles are called as a wonder of the modern medicine. The zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnoNPs) have also used as the antimicrobial applications (the disease causing microbes isolated from different clinical samples and plant disease samples), agriculture, and anticancer therapy. The production of ZnO NPs increased day by day and increased the applications in exposure to humans and animals. The main aim of this present study is to observe the enhanced antibacterial activity of Maranta arundinacearoot mediated zinc oxide nanoparticles. The Zinc Oxide nanoparticles is synthesized using Maranta arundinacea root and the enhanced antimicrobial activity was checked with the addition of antibiotics. The root extract of Maranta arundinaceareact with zinc sulphate solution and forms zinc oxide nanoparticles. The nanoparticles formation was preliminarily confirmed using visual observation and followed by UV-vis spectroscopic analysis. In this study, we found that the zone of inhibition is well seen in oral pathogens such asLactobacillussp and Streptococcus mutants, the values are found to be increased as the zone of inhibition increases. Based on our results the arrow root mediated zinc oxide nanoparticles are the better drug of choice for the control of S. mutans a major causative agent in the oral diseases.

TL;DR: In this article, an anti-bacterial activity of Maranta arundinaecea root mediated selenium nanoparticles showed very good antibacterial activity will used in many biomedical applications.
Abstract: Maranta arundinaecea is otherwise known as arrowroot. It promotes weight loss, treats diahorrea and stimulates the immune system. As Arrowroot is rich in starch, it helps in good digestion by mild laxative in regulating the bowel movement. Also it reduces stomach pain and bloating. Selenium is a semi conductor so it is used in making electrical wires. It is used in potent chemotherapy. It is an anti-cancer agent due to its invasion of apoptotic pathway and cell cycle arrest. Usually the arrow root extract is available as powder. The powder is diluted and mixed into sodium selenite solution and this combination is observed for 3 days. After 3 days, it is centrifuged and collected in a pellet form. The lactobacillus and streptococcus mutants are used for culture of organism for 1 day. The extract is tested for for anti-bacterial activity. Result- It shows the sector where it can inhibit in Streptococcus mutans and lactobacillus. Maranta arundinaecea root mediated selenium nanoparticles shows very good antibacterial activity will used in many biomedical applications is future.

TL;DR: In the present study, lectotypes for 19 names, as well as a neotype for Maranta phrynioides are designated and an illustration is recognized as the holotype of M. bicolor, based on historical data and the unknown type of M noctiflora is here located.
Abstract: In the present study we designate lectotypes for 19 names, as well as a neotype for Maranta phrynioides. Furthermore, an illustration is recognized as the holotype of M. bicolor, based on historical data, and the unknown type of M. noctiflora is here located and its history is clarified. Finally, important taxonomic notes are provided, including the new synonyms Calathea stenostachys, M. longipes, M. longiscapa, M. pleiostachys and M. pycnostachys, all under M. phrynioides, as well as M. subterranea as a synonym of M. furcata.
