Enzyme Assays of E. coli and Bacillus sp. Treated with Fe Doped MgO Nanoparticles Joyshree Maji, Sanjeev Pandey, Soumen Basu Biology Bulletin, 2023 Abstract The present study is based on the antioxidant enzyme activities of Super oxide dismutase (SOD), Malondialdehyde (MDA), Catalase (CAT), Glutathione peroxides (GSHPx) towards the Fe doped MgO on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Oxygen, vital for most living organisms, acts as a precursor to reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can inflict damage on cellular components such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. The generation of ROS is expected to cause membrane damage through lipid peroxidation, resulting in material leakage and affecting respiratory activity, ultimately leading to cell death. The significant increase in enzyme concentration in the bacterial strain treated with Fe doped MgO nanoparticle suggests an elevated production of free radicals in these strains. Consequently, cell wall disruption phenomenon can be observed. It is also seen that enzyme activity increases as the doping concentration of Fe doped MgO increases.
The electrical transport and antibacterial properties of Fe doped MgO nanoparticles synthesized by a soft chemical technique Joyshree Maji, Sanjeev Pandey, Soumen Basu Biotechnology Notes, 2023 Fe doped MgO nanoparticles were synthesized using a straightforward soft chemical method. We conducted a comprehensive examination of the electrical properties of Fe-doped MgO nanoparticles with a crystalline size range of 7–10 nm. Simultaneously, we explored their antibacterial capabilities. Our findings indicate that an increase in the concentration of Fe-doped MgO correlates with an enhanced bactericidal effect. To gain a deeper understanding of charge transfer processes, the AC conductivity and dielectric characteristics of the samples across various temperatures and frequencies was studied.The antibacterial activity was studied utilising the MIC methodology, the live count (LC) method, and the agar cup technique in addition to the electrical characteristics. After exposure to nanoparticles, we observed the disruption of pathogenic cell walls through transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. These results suggest that Fe-doped MgO nanoparticles hold promise for the development of novel, more effective antibacterial drugs. The ½ MIC for E. Coli was found to be 2.75 μg/ml, while for Bacillus sp., it was 1.75 μg/ml when exposed to Fe-doped MgO nanoparticles. This dosage level may find applications in the medical field. However, further investigations are required to assess potential toxicity and long-term environmental and human health effects. If successful in vivo tests follow, Fe-doped MgO nanoparticles could emerge as valuable antibacterial agents.
