Item type:Publication, Growth Responses and Regression Analysis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles in Indica Rice (Oryza sativa L.)(2022-01-01) ;Sutjaritvorakul, Thanawat ;Koomsubsiri, Amorn ;Sridam, Idhisak; The use of metal nanomaterials to promote plant growth and inhibit plant pathogenic microorganisms is gaining interest. In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) were evaluated for effects on growth and productivity of indica rice plants (Oryza sativa L.). The rice plant was exposed to ZnONPs with different concentrations i. e. 0, 200, 600 and 800 mg/l. The plant height, weight and the number of panicles per clump were investigated. The result showed that 200 mg/l of ZnONPs induced the highest enhancement of plant height, weight and the number of panicles per clump with a significant difference compared to other groups. The mathematical model of the height, weight and the number of panicles per clump was analyzed by linear regression, and the determination coefficient (R<sup>2</sup>) of the linear regression model was 0.86, 0.84 and 0.52, respectively. This linear regression model could be potentially extended to the indica rice plant cultivation process in practical applications to predict the rice plant growth and productivity in commercial cultivation. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, MYCO-MEDIATED SYNTHESIS AND α-GLUCOSIDASE INHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES PRODUCED BY XYLARIACEOUS FUNGI(2023-01-01) ;Sutjaritvorakul, T. ;Imsuwan, P. ;Damsud, T.; Metal nanomaterials could be applied in various fields and could be synthesized via living organisms such as plants, bacteria and fungi. Here, the ability of Xylaria sp.5 to produce silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities by the AgNPs produced by Xylaria sp.5 were investigated. The culture broth of Xylaria sp.5 was used to synthesize AgNPs by using 0.1 M of silver nitrate (AgNO3) solutions. The mycogenic crystals were investigated for the morphological characteristics and chemical composition by scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The results showed that AgNPs were successfully produced. Moreover, AgNPs were tested for α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. The crude enzyme derived from rat intestine consisted of maltase and sucrase. The percentage of inhibition at 50 mg/ml of maltase and sucrase was 63.21 ± 0.67 and 54.42 ± 0.11, respectively. This study demonstrated that the supernatant culture broth of Xylaria sp.5 can be used to synthesize AgNPs which possess α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Collectively, this method could be a promising alternative for low cost and non-polluting production of AgNPs which could be potentially utilized for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Fungal Transformation and Oxalate-Mediated Mineralization of Heavy Metal Oxides by Aspergillus aculeatus(2026-04-01) ;Sawangchart, Thanakorn; ; ;Narueban, WorapatTilokkarn, WorrathonFungal transformation is increasingly recognized as an important process influencing metal solubilization and immobilization in soil environments. In this study, a fungal strain (PTW4) isolated from mining-contaminated soil was molecularly identified as Aspergillus aculeatus. The strain was evaluated for its ability to solubilize and transform several heavy metal oxides, including ZnO, Pb<inf>3</inf>O<inf>4</inf>, Cu<inf>2</inf>O, and MoO<inf>3</inf>. PTW4 produced consistent halo formation across all tested oxides, accompanied by progressive acidification of the culture medium, suggesting organic acid-mediated solubilization. Characterization of extracellular precipitates by SEM-EDS and XRD indicated mineral phases consistent with oxalate-associated biominerals, including zinc oxalate dihydrate (ZnC<inf>2</inf>O<inf>4</inf>·2H<inf>2</inf>O), lead oxalate (PbC<inf>2</inf>O<inf>4</inf>), and copper oxalate hydrate (CuC<inf>2</inf>O<inf>4</inf>·xH<inf>2</inf>O). These minerals represent low-solubility phases that may reduce metal mobility in the surrounding environment. In contrast, molybdenum did not precipitate under the experimental conditions, suggesting metal-specific constraints in fungal biomineralization processes. Although organic acid production was not directly quantified, identification of oxalate mineral phases supports an oxalate-associated mineralization mechanism. Overall, the results provide evidence for heavy metal solubilization and selective extracellular precipitation consistent with oxalate biomineral formation by A. aculeatus PTW4, highlighting its potential relevance to fungal-mediated bioremediation and selective bioleaching processes.
