Nano sized zinc-based particles have extensive applications in different fields such as medicine, agriculture and biotechnology. The present study was designed to describe the rapid, simple and environment friendly synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using Aerva javanica. In the current study, biosynthesis and characterization of ZnO NPs using Aerva javanica leaf extract is reported for the first time. Synthesized ZnO NPs were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. Synthesized ZnO NPs were tested against antimicrobial activity using the agar diffusion method. Antibacterial activity of ZnO NPs (10 mg/mL) was measured and zones of inhibition (MIC) against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa were measured as 13.5 mm + 0.8 and 5 + 2.8 mm while ZnO NPs (40 mg/mL) exhibited 18.4 + 4.3 and 8 + 2.8 mm for S. aureus and P. aeruginosa respectively. Antifungal activity of ZnO NPs (10 mg/mL) was measured and MIC against C. albicans and A. niger were recorded as 2.6 mm + 1.7 and 2+ 0.5 mm while ZnO NPs (40 mg/mL) exhibited 6.6 + 2.0 and 2.5 + 0.5 mm for C. albicans and A. niger respectively. Our study concluded that MIC for S. aureus and C. albicans was found to be higher as compared to P. aeruginosa and A. niger. Data analysis showed that ZnO NPs had a significant inhibitory antibacterial effect as compared to antifungal. Thus, present study depicts that the plant extract of A. javanica can be a valuable natural resource to synthesize the functional nanomaterials for targeted applications particularly in molecular medicine.","PeriodicalId":10935,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Mon, April 25, 2022","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75098935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Briefly, a total of 540 Cherry Valley ducks (one-day-old) were randomly categorized into 3 groups for 42 days: control group (basal diets free from the antibiotic), antibiotic group (basal diets supplemented with 40 mg/kg bacitracin zinc), and synbiotic group (basal diets supplemented with 1 000 mg/kg synbiotic). Each group consisted of 6 replicates of 30 ducks each. In synbiotic group, average-day-gain (ADG) throughout the trial period (p≤0.05) and average-day-feed-intake (ADFI) during the starter and grower periods (p≤0.05) were increased as compared with the control group. Moreover, dietary synbiotics enhanced ileal villus height to crypt depth (V/C), decreased ileal crypt depth compared with the control group (p≤0.05). In addition, the synbiotics increased numbers of Intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) and goblet cells in the small intestine (p≤0.05), and secretory IgA (sIgA) concentration in the duodenum and jejunum (p≤0.05) of 42-day-old ducks as compared with the control group. Furthermore, synbiotics supplementation increased the mRNA expression of jejunal mucosal occluding (OCLN) and the population of Bifidobacterium in cecal chyme (p ≤ 0.05). In conclusion, diets supplemented with synbiotics could improve growth performance and intestinal morphology, enhance intestinal barrier function, and modulate the cecal microorganisms in Cherry Valley ducks.","PeriodicalId":10935,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Mon, April 25, 2022","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78755360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
