Adsorption Performance of bacillus Licheniformis Sp. Bacteria Isolated From the Soil of the Tigris River on Mercury in Aqueous Solutions
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Baran, M. Firat; Yildirim, Ayfer; Acay, Hilal; Keskin, Cumali; Aygun, Husamettin
Mercury is known to be one of the most toxic heavy metals in the environment and is released into the water systems in significant quantities through natural events and industrial process activities. Many chemical materials are used as adsorbents in the removal of toxic metals from the environment and wastewaters. However, using microorganisms as bio-sorbents instead of chemical materials has become common recently due to their low cost, easy availability and presence in nature. In this study, Bacillus licheniformis in the soil isolated from the Tigris River was used as bio-sorbent. The mercury (Hg(II)) absorption behaviour of Bacillus licheniformis bacteria (BLB) was investigated using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The effects of equilibrium of adsorption time, temperature, adsorbent dosage and pH on the adsorption of Hg (II) onto BLB were determined. The maximum adsorption capacity of Hg (II) onto BLB was determined as 82.12 mg/g (T = 25 degrees C, pH 5, Co = 50 mg/L, m = 25 mg). The BLB was characterised using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, thermal gravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy analysis and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis. In addition, pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were applied. The equilibrium data for the adsorption of Hg(II) onto BLB were examined by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The activation energy was calculated using the pseudo-second-order rate constant. These results suggested the BLB can be used as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of Hg(II) metal ions from wastewater. When the results of bio-sorption studies were examined, it was found that the bio-sorbent could be reused easily. The present study suggests that microorganism bio-sorbents are useful for the efficient removal of mercury from aqueous solutions.
The antioxidant and anti-apoptotic potential of Pleurotus eryngii extract and its chitosan-loaded nanoparticles against doxorubicin-induced testicular toxicity in male rats
(Wiley, 2021) Erdem Güzel, Elif; Kaya Tektemur, Nalan; Tektemur, Ahmet; Acay, Hilal; Yıldırım, Ayfer
This study was conducted to evaluate the protective role of Pleurotus eryngii extract (PE) and Pleurotus eryngii extract-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (PE-CSNP) against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced testicular toxicity in rats. Male rats were divided into six groups: control (DMSO/ethanol), PE (200 mg/kg PE), PE-CSNP (30 mg/kg PECSNP), DOX (10 mg/kg DOX, a single dose, i.p), DOX+PE (10 mg/kg DOX+200 mg/ kg PE) and DOX+PE-CSNP (10 mg/kg DOX+30 mg/kg PE-CSNP). PE and PE-CSNP were administered by oral gavage every other day for 21 days. DOX-treated rats showed histopathological impairment compared with the control group. There was an increase in the apoptotic index, caspase 3 (CASP3), BCL2-associated X apoptosis regulator (BAX), dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) expression and total oxidative status (TOS) in the DOX group, while mitofusin-2 (MFN2), total antioxidative status (TAS) and serum testosterone levels of the DOX group reduced when compared with the other groups. PE and PE-CSNP treatments provided significant protection against DOX-induced oxidative stress by reducing TOS levels and increasing TAS levels. CASP3, BAX, apoptotic index and DRP1-MFN2 expressions were restored by PE and PE-CSNP. However, the PE-CSNP showed higher antioxidant and anti-apoptotic efficacy compared with PE. Thus, our results provide evidence that CSNP and PE could synergistically have a potent antioxidant and anti-apoptotic therapy against DOX-induced testicular damage in male rats.

(2017) Acay, Hilal; Dündar, Abdurrahman; Keskin, Cumali; Kaçar, Semra
Abstract: Mushroom is an important source of natural compounds with acknowledged bioactivity. Pleurotus eryngii, in particular, is widely recognized for its organoleptic quality and favorable healthy effects, being commercially produced in great extent. The present study is just for evaluating the antioxidant capacity (scavenging DPPH radicals, reducing power, Total antioxidant activity by β-carotene-linoleic acid metod, Chelating effect on ferrous ions, superoxide anion radical scavenging activity ), antimicrobial effects (by using the disc diffusion method) and insufficiently studied cytotoxic activity (using PC-3 cell lines) of Pleurotus eryngii by using various solvent systems. For this reason; obtained extracts of the mushroom applying hexane, ethylacetate and methanol respectively were tested with in its biologic activities. As a result, The highest total antioxidant activity by β -carotene-linoleic acid metod was identified in methanol extract (63.62 mg /ml). The highest DPPH scavenging activity was obtained from ethyl acetate extract with 88.81 mg/ml. EDTA is used as standard in methal chelating activity. The highest metal chelating activity of Pleurotus eryngii identified in hexane (88,1 mg /ml) and ethylacetate (88.84 mg /ml) extracts. Additionally, in most of studied tests antioxidant activity of the mushroom increased with increasing concentration. On the other hand, the highest antimicrobial activity was obtained against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 (11 mm) in ethyl acetate extract. However, the best antimicrobial activities were observed in hexane and methanol extracts for other tested microorganism. It was not determined any antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. It has been found that the potential of cytotoxic activity is depended on concentration and solvent type of extracts. Ethyl acetate extract showed significant inhibitory value at the concentrations of 530 µg/ml (86.20 %) against PC-3 cell lines. Using methanol extract, the maximun inhibition was observed at concentration of 680 µg/ml with value of 51.86 %. Overall, the mushroom used as a daily nutrient could be a source for new drug developments and a kind of treatment in cancer therapies, and also, organic extracts of Pleurotus eryngii may contain substances that stimulate bioactivity

(Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi, 2023) Dereli, Elif; Acay, Hilal
Dünya nüfusundaki hızlı artış yaşam için gerekli olan gıda kaynaklarını muhafaza etmeyi gerektirmektedir. Yabani otlar, böcekler ve çeşitli bitki hastalıkları gıda kaynaklarını tehdit eden önemli unsurlardandır. Bu amaçla gıdayı korumak için kullanılan sentetik kimyasalların doğaya ve canlılara zarar verdiği bilinmektedir. Mevcut durumda, etkili bir biçimde mahsulleri zararlılardan korumak ve ekosisteme zarar vermeyen yeni alternatiflerin getirilmesi gerekmektedir. Fungisitlerin doğru kullanılmaması canlı sistemler için her zaman bir tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Bununla beraber fungal patojenlerde direnç oluşturduğu bilinmektedir. Yeniden değerlendirilen stratejiler kapsamında nanofungusit gibi nanoteknolojik yaklaşımlar çok önemli potansiyele sahiptir. Yapılan çalışmada, Pleurotus eryngii ekstraktı (PEE), Lesitin-(L) Kitosan (K) kullanılarak, etkili, düşük maliyetli, sürdürülebilir ve toksik olmayan ,çevre dostu PEELKN nanomateryali sentezlendi. Biyonanomateryalin yapısı FTIR, SEM, TGA, XRD ve zetapotansiyel ile karakterize edilmiştir. SEM analizi, nanoyapının düzenli şekillerden oluşmuş pürüzlü, topaklanmış ve boşluklu bir yapıya sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Nanoyapının XRD analiz sonucu (2?=19.29°) yayvan bir pike sahip olası kitosan ve lesitin ile işlevselleşmesini göstermiş ve ortalama kristalit boyutu 13 nm olarak tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada kullanılan PEELKN nanomateryalinin fitopatojenik mantar türleri Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, Alternaria alternata, Verticillium dahlia, Bipolaris sorokiniana ve Fusarium oxysporum karşı antifungal etkinliği ilk kez araştırıldı. Veriler, PEE ve PEELKN'nin bazı bitki patojenleri üzerinde ciddi etkisi olduğu ancak bu etkinin farklılıklar gösterdiği görülmektedir. Tür çeşitliliğinden kaynaklandığı düşünülen bu farklılıklar nedeniyle PEE ve PEELKN'nin farklı patojenik türler üzerinde de etkili olabileceği düşünülmektedir. PEE ve sentezlenen PEELKN, bazı yaygın fitopatojenik mantarların çimlenmesi ve büyümesine karşı inhibe edici etkiye sahiptir ve daha kapsamlı çalışmalarda kullanılabilir.
Biosorption Studies of Mushrooms for Two Typical Dyes
(Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A: Chemistry, 2020) Yıldırım, Ayfer; Acay, Hilal
This study investigated the adsorption behaviour of two cationic dyes, methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG) onto Pleurotus ostreatus, Armillaria tabescens, and Morchella conica mushrooms. The effects of contact time, initial dye concentration, and solution pH (3-11) were also determined. The adsorption on all mushrooms attained equilibrium within 120 min for both MB and MG. To evaluate the experimental kinetics data, the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion kinetics equations were utilised. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model demonstrated a good fit with all adsorption kinetics. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to analyse the mechanism of the adsorption isotherm. The adsorption equilibrium isotherm was in a good agreement with the Freundlich model. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔH enthalpy variation, ΔS entropy variation, and ΔG free Gibbs energy variation were calculated at 303-323 K. The results suggested that the Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom was the most suitable adsorbent for both cationic dyes’ removal.

(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2020) Baran, Mehmet Firat; Acay, Hilal; Keskin, Cumali
Nanoparticles are valuable materials with widespread use. The fact that these materials are obtained by biological resources with an environmentally friendly method contributes to the development of studies in this field. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from waste vegetable sources (green leaves of Capsicum annum L.) are economically and easily synthesized. The obtained particles are characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy (UV-vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The antimicrobial activity of the particles on the pathogenic microorganisms Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Bacillus subtilis bacteria, and Candida albicans yeast are found to have a significant suppressive effect. The removal activities of eight toxic metals (Pd, Cd, Fe, Ni, Co, Mn, Zn, Pb) in Diyarbakir drinking water and artificially prepared water within different pHs are investigated. Gold nanoparticles synthesized from Capsicum annuum L. leaves are found to be effective in toxic metal removal in water samples.

(Medicine Science, 2020) Acay, Hilal; Baran, Mehmet Fırat
Synthesizing nanoparticles (NPs) using wild edible fungi with environmentally friendly synthesis methods is more preferred because of the advantages it provides. The fact that its synthesis is easy, economical, non-toxic and has a wide range of uses increases the interest in this subject. The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant and cytotoxic activity of biomolecular synthesized Pleurotus eryngii silver nanoparticles (PE-AgNPs) against human prostate carcinoma (PC-3), human cervix (HeLa) and breast carcinoma (MCF-7) cells. PE-AgNPs showed significant cytotoxic activity against HeLa, PC-3, MCF-7 cell lines, and also dimethyl sulfoxide solvents of PE-AgNPs applied for their metal chelating activity, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity and antioxidant activity using the β-carotene linoleate model system. Biosynthetic PE-AgNPs were found to inhibit the proliferation of PC-3, HeLa and MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 2.185, 46.594 and 6.169 µg / ml, respectively, during a 24-hour incubation period. With the parallel of increasing concentration (1, 2, 5, 10 mg/mL) the activities were also increased at all the tests studied. At 10 mg/ml antioxidant activities were 82%, 85% and 77% for chelation of ferrous ions reducing power, DPPH scavenging and β-carotene linoleate tests respectively. The results show that PE-AgNPs may contribute to the development of a suitable anticancer drug that can lead to a new development of nanoparticles for cancer treatment. It also appears to be advantageous to use nanotechnology and green chemistry to improve the existing therapeutic properties of P.eryngii.

(2018) Acay, Hilal; Kaçar, Semra; Keskin, Cumali; Dündar, Abdurrahman
Fatty acids (FAs) of Pleurotus ostreatus and Russula delica were identified in TL (Total Lipid), TG (Triacylglycerol ) and PL (phospholipid) fractions. The major FAs of TL, TG, PL in both species were Cl6:0 (palmitic açid, PA), Cl8:1 n-9 (oleic acid, OLA) and Cl8:2 n-6 (linoleic acid, LA). In both species, total PUFA amounts were found to be higher than total MUFA and total SFA in TL, TG and PL fractions. The efficient production of the fatty acids especially linolenic and oleic acids which are majorly needed in building blocks of dietary human has confirmed these species as good source of nutrition. On the other hand, insufficiently studied cytotoxic activity (using pC-3 cell lines) of these mushrooms were investigated by using various solvent systems Ethyl acetate extract of Russula delica and, Pleurltus ostreatus showed significant inhibitory value at the concentrations of 520-530 µg/ml (99,45%- 92,82%) against PC-3 cell lines with IC50; 274,53-297,77 µg /mL respectively. Methanol extracts did not show any cytotoxic activity. lt has been found that the potential of cytotoxic activity is depended on concentration and solvent type of extracts. As a result, the present study is a guide for biochemiçal and nutritional values of the both species and can be useful for further investigation on plıarnıacological applications.

(2012) Acay, Hilal; Keskin, Cumali; Kaçar, Semra
The lignocellulolytic process includes the degradation of lignin by different types of specialized peroxidase. These activities are controlled by gene families whose members or number varies among different species. Many researchers interested in increasing the production of enzymes produced by white rot fungi which is an imıportant in biotechnology. Indeed, the efficient production of these enzymes, seems to be attractive for biotechnological applications due to their low cost. ln this study, laccase activities of different fungal species which grow in the region of Diyarbakir Mardin naturally (Coriolus versicolor 1, C. versicolor 2, Agrocybe aegerita 1, A. aegerita 2, Armillariella tabescens 1, A. tabesecens 2, Fomes fomentarius 1, F. fomentarius 2, Pleurotus ostreatus) were investigated in agitated submerged culturies media with evaluation of lignocellulose-containing substrates. Whey (PAS) and Saboroud dextrose broth (SDB) were used as culture medium, cotton stalk (P) was also used as an enzyme inducer. In this study, all macrofungus were observed laccase activity. The highest laccase activity has been identifed in A. tabescens 1 (150.47 U/ml) SDB+P medium, A. tabescens 2 (100.24 U/ml) PAS+P medium and A. tabescens 2 (83.85 U/ml) SDB+P medium respectively. As a result of this study, it was clearly seen that the enzyme activity induced by cotton stalk. These species and cotton stalks should be evaluated on biotechnological applications.

(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Dundar, Abdurrahman; Yalcin, Pinar; Arslan, Nurgul; Acay, Hilal; Hatipoglu, Abdulkerim; Boga, Mehmet; Yaprak, Bulent
Objective: Our aim in this study is, does 29-day regular consumption of Pleurotus ostreatus water extract by volunteer individuals who meet the study criteria have an effect on blood and cytokine values? Method: In accordance with the purpose of the study, volunteers were asked to consume 100 ml of the extract every morning for 29 days. Three tubes of blood samples were taken from the volunteers on the 15th and 29th days of the study. Biochemical and hematological analysis of the blood samples were performed and immunomodulatory effects through cytokines were examined. The values obtained from 3 tubes of blood obtained from volunteers before the use of mushroom extract were used as control. The chemical composition and beta-glucan content of 100 ml of mushroom water extract were also analyzed. Result: IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-13 could not be detected because the values were below the lowest standard value. TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma and IL-1 beta 15th and 29th day values decreased compared to the 1st day (control) values (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference observed between the 15th and 29th day. No abnormalities were observed in biochemical and hematological values. Also, the beta-glucan content of extract was found 38.12 mg/100 ml. Conclusion: The frequency range of kidney and liver function test results confirmed that P. osreatus is a reliable food source. Considering the cytokine values these results indicate that P. ostreatus water extract has an anti-inflammatory effect. As no significant difference was observed in 29 days of use, it is thought that 15 days of daily consumption of the extract may be sufficient for the anti-inflammatory effect to occur. However, a large number of qualified clinical trials are needed to support the issue.

(Taylor & Francis Online, 2020) Acay, Hilal; Yıldırım, Ayfer; Erdem Güzel, Elif; Kaya, Nalan; Baran, Mehmet Fırat
With the increase of antibiotic resistance, which is present at a worrying rate, research on the use of newly developed nanoparticles as an antimicrobial agent with green biotechnology has intensified. The study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial effects of chitosan nanoparticles (CSNP) synthesized using Pleurotus eryngii extract (PE). Characterization of P. eryngii-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (PE-CSNPs) was performed with Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction, Field-emission scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, Differential scanning calorimetry, and zeta potential techniques. The FE-SEM images showed that the surface morphology of nanoparticles is similar to CS, but has more porosity network and smaller dimensions structure. The average particle size of spherical PE-CSNPs was obtained as 330.1 nm. The specific surface area and average pore diameter of the synthesized nanoparticles were found as 3.99 m2g-1 and 2.25 nm, respectively. X-ray diffraction determines the presence of an amorphous peak at 2θ = 21.2° results from CS and PE. PE-CSNPs synthesized using P. eryngii extract showed strong antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans as 0.0156, 0.0625, 0.0625 and 0.0312 mg ml-1, respectively. Thus, it was determined that chitosan nanoparticles formed by the green synthesis of P. eryngii extract showed strong anti-microbial properties.

The aim of the study to investigate fatty acids (FAs) of Pleurotus ostreatus and Russula delica in Total Lipid (TL), Triacylglycerol (TG) and Phospholipid (PL) fractions. The major FAs of TL, TG, PL in both species were palmitic acid (PA), oleic acid (OLA), and linoleic acid (LA). In both species, total PUFA amounts were found to be higher than total monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and total saturated fatty acids (SFA) in TL, TG and PL fractions. Also, insufficiently studied cytotoxic activity (using prostate carcinoma (PC-3) cell lines) of these mushrooms were investigated by using various solvent systems. Ethyl acetate extract of Pleurotus ostreatus and Russula delica showed significant inhibitory value at the concentrations of 520-530 μg/ml (99.45-92.82%) against PC-3 cell lines with the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50); 274.53-297.77 μg/mL respectively. The present study is a guide for biochemical and nutritional values of both species and can be useful for further investigation on pharmacological applications.
Green Synthesis of pleurotus Eryngii-derived Nanomaterials for Phytopathogen Control
(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2024) Acay, Hilal; Guney, Inci Guler; Yildirim, Ayfer; Dervis, Sibel; Dereli, Elif
Growing concerns over the human health and environmental impacts of conventional fungicides, coupled with the escalating challenge of microbial resistance, have fueled the search for sustainable biocontrol strategies against plant pathogens. This study reports, for the first time, the green synthesis and characterization of a novel, eco-friendly nanomaterial, designated Pleurotus eryngii-Lecithin-Chitosan Nanomaterial (PEELCN), derived from P. eryngii extract (PEE), lecithin (L), and chitosan (C). The structural attributes of PEELCN were elucidated using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and zeta potential measurements, confirming the successful formation of a stable and uniform nanostructure. The antifungal activity of PEELCN, and PEE, was assessed against five economically important phytopathogenic fungi: Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, Alternaria alternata, Verticillium dahliae, Bipolaris sorokiniana, and Fusarium oxysporum. Both PEE and PEELCN exhibited significant inhibitory effects on the mycelial growth of V. dahliae, B. sorokiniana, and N. dimidiatum, with varying degrees of efficacy. The differential antifungal activity suggests a species-specific mode of action. The findings highlight the promising potential of PEELCN as a sustainable, biocompatible, and cost-effective nanofungicide for the management of plant diseases, with the potential for development into a commercially viable biofungicide for sustainable agriculture.

It is known that textile dyes have various risks on human health. Glutathione-S-transferase enzymes play a critical role in the detoxification of xenobiotics in living systems. This study aimed to examine the interaction of methylene blue with human erythrocyte glutathione-S-transferase purified in one step. Human erythrocyte glutathione-S-transferase was purified with approximately 750-fold purification and 30% efficiency by glutathione agarose affinity chromatography. The results showed that the enzyme was inhibited by methylene blue with an IC50 value of 1.40 mmol/L. The Ki constant of methylene blue was 1.17 mmol/L. The Lineweaver–Burk graph of the methylene blue showed that the type of inhibition was compatible with mixed type inhibition. A new third spot was also detected by thin-layer chromatography. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of methylene blue on human erythrocytes was evaluated and it was found that the haemolysis per cent of methylene blue on erythrocytes was approximately 14%.

(Environmental Technology and Innovation, 2020) Yıldırım, Ayfer; Baran, Mehmet Fırat; Acay, Hilal
Adsorption is very economical and environmentally friendly method that is commonly accepted as a promising technique for the removal of heavy metals. In this study a fungal-extract-based (FE-CB) bio-nanosorbent was prepared and used as an efficient biosorbent for the removal of heavy metals, namely Cu(II) and Ni(II), from aqueous solutions. FE-CB was characterized by scanning electron microscope, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area and porosity analyzer, Fourier transform infrared, x-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter, thermalgravimetric analysis and zeta potential. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area, pore volume and average pore diameter of FE-CB were 7.43 m2/g, 0.060 cm3/g, and 2.82 nm, respectively. The adsorbtion properties of FE-CB onto both Cu(II) and Ni(II) were investigated in terms of biosorbent dosage, temperature, initial concentration of Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions, pH and contact time in the batch experiments. The dependence of the biosorption mechanism on pH was revealed and the optimum pH was determined as 6 for Ni(II) and 5 for Cu(II). The Langmuir and Freundlich isothermal models and the kinetic Pseudo-first-order and Pseudo-second-order kinetic models were used to describe the adsorption performance of FE-CB. The activation energy was calculated by pseudo-second-order rate constants. In addition, thermodynamic parameters, standard Gibbs free energy, standard enthalpy and standard entropy were analyzed using the (Van't Hoff equation). The biosorption process was found to be spontaneous, favorable and endothermic.

(Wiley Online Library, 2022) Acay, Hilal; Yildirim, Ayfer; Güney, İnci Güler; Derviş, Sibel
Considering the damage caused by fungicides to human health and problems such as microbial resistance, biological control against plant pathogens has started to gain importance worldwide. This research demonstrates a new, simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method for synthesizing chitosan bionanocomposite (CBNC) from Morchella esculenta (L) Pers-extract (MEE). The antifungal property of the synthesized Morchella esculenta (L) Pers-chitosan bionanocomposite (MCBNC) against some plant pathogens was also evaluated. FTIR, XRD, FE-SEM, DSC, TGA, and BET were used to characterize the synthesized MCBNC. Mushroom-based chitosan nanoparticles were evaluated for antifungal activity against some fungal pathogens, including Neoscytalidium novaehollandiae, N. dimidiatum, Alternaria alternata, Verticillium dahliae, Bipolaris sorokiniana, and Colletotrichum sp. The findings obtained clearly showed that chitosan nanoparticles have antifungal activity. The results suggest that the chitosan nanoparticle can be used in the field to protect various crops from phytopathogens. Novelty impact statement Chitosan bionanocomposite (MCBNC) synthesis was performed for the first time using the wild mushroom Morchella esculenta, which has strong bioactive properties. It was observed that the bionanomaterial, which was characterized by FTIR, XRD, FE-SEM, DSC, TGA, and BET analyses, has high antifungal activity against plant pathogens such as Alternaria alternata and Bipolaris sorokiniana. MCBNCs synthesized by the green synthesis method can be an important area of use in the fight against plant pathogens, which corresponds to 1/3 of the world's agricultural production potential.

Amaç: Adriamisin (ADR), kanser tedavilerinde kullanılan güçlü ve geniş spektrumlu bir antibiyotiktir. Fakat ADR’nin klinik etkinliği, doza bağlı kardiyotoksisitesi nedeniyle engellenmektedir. Bu nedenle çalışmada ADR uygulanan sıçanların kalp dokularında meydana gelen değişiklikler üzerine Pleurotus eryngii ekstraktının (PEE)’nin koruyucu etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Sprague-Dawley cinsi erkek sıçanlar 4 eşit gruba ayrıldı (n=6). Kontrol grubuna DMSO/etanol çözeltisi oral gavaj yolu ile gün aşırı verildi. ADR grubuna 10 mg/kg ADR intraperitoneal (i.p) olarak tek doz uygulandı. ADR+PEE grubuna 10 mg/kg i.p tek doz ADR verildikten sonra DMSO/etanol içinde çözdürülen 200 mg/kg PEE oral gavaj yoluyla gün aşırı verildi. PEE grubuna oral gavaj ile DMSO/etanolde çözdürülen 200 mg/kg PEE gün aşırı verildi. 21.günün sonunda sıçanlar dekapite edildi. Dekapitasyonun ardından kalp dokuları çıkarılarak histolojik ve kantitatif RT-PCR analizleri yapıldı. Bulgular: ADR grubuna ait kalp dokularında inflamatuar hücre artışı, miyofibril kaybı, sitoplazmik vakuolizasyon ve vasküler konjesyon bulgularına rastlanıldı. PEE tedavisinin bu histopatolojik bulgularda iyileşmeye neden olduğu gözlendi. Ayrıca ADR grubunda kontrol grubuna kıyasla IL1-β immunoreaktivitesinde ve IL1-β, BAX, Kaspaz-3 mRNA seviyelerinde anlamlı bir artış olduğu izlendi. ADR+PEE grubunda ise ADR grubuna kıyasla IL-1β immunoreaktivitesinde ve IL1-β, BAX, Kaspaz-3 mRNA seviyelerinde anlamlı bir azalma olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: ADR’ye bağlı kardiyotoksisitede PEE tedavisinin anti-apoptotik ve anti-inflamatuar özellikleri ile kardiyoprotektif etki gösterdiği ortaya koyuldu.Dekapitasyonun ardından kalp dokuları çıkarılarak histolojik ve kantitatif RT-PCR analizleri yapıldı.
