Contrary to the expectation that nanoparticles dispersed in organic media are stable against aggregation, N-iodosuccinimide addition induced aggregation of octadecylamine capped gold nanoparticles in chloroform or toluene. It was observed that even KI and CuI addition could bring about the aggregation though they are very sparingly soluble in organic solvents. It was also found that even molecular iodine could bring about the above mentioned aggregation. Interestingly, when CuI is used the aggregated structures readily convert to very thin flat nanostructures upon exposure to an electron beam or UV irradiation. In fact when the aggregation is induced by the addition of KI or N-iodosuccinamide we do not see the flattening of the aggregated structures exemplifying the important role of Cu ions in making these flat structures.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.099</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kasture, Manasi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Singh, Sanjay</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patel, Pitamber</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joy, Pattayil Alias</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prabhune, Asmita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramana, C.

This is a unique bacterium that is quite specific for the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles as several other strains isolated from the same insect and common Indian mosquitoes did not result in nanoparticle formation. By following the reaction systematically, we could delineate that the nanoparticle formation occurs intracellularly. However, the process results in the killing of bacterial cells.

The particles obtained by bacterial synthesis were thoroughly characterized. The cytotoxicity studies revealed that the particles do not display any cytotoxicity to human skin cells.

However, the molecular mechanism of synthesis of such bio-nanomaterials remains largely unknown. Here, we report the extracellular synthesis of crystalline silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by using Morganella sp., and show molecular evidence I of silver resistance by elucidating the synthesis mechanism. The AgNPs were 20 +/- 5 nm in diameter and were highly stable at 1 room temperature. The kinetics of AgNPs formation was investigated. Detectable particles were formed after on hour of reaction, and their production remained exponential up to 18 h, and saturated at 24 h. Morganella sp. was found to be highly resistant to silver cations and was able to grow in the presence of more than 0.5 mm AgNO3. Three gene homologues viz. silE, silP and silS were identified in silver-resistant Morganella sp. The homologue of silE from Morganella sp. showed 99% nucleotide sequence similarity with the previously reported gene, silE, which encodes a periplasmic silver-binding protein. The homologues of silP and silS were also highly similar to previously reported sequences. Similar activity was totally absent in closely related Escherichia coli; this suggests that a unique mechanism of extracellular AgNPs synthesis is associated with silver-resistant Morganella sp. The molecular mechanism of silver resistance and its gene products might have a key role to play in the overall synthesis process of AgNPs by Morganella sp. An understanding of such biochemical mechanisms at the molecular level might help in developing an ecologically friendly and cost-effective protocol for microbial AgNPs synthesis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.85</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kulkarni, Sneha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Syed, Asad</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Singh, Sanjay</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gaikwad, Anil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patil, Kashinath</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vijayamohanan, K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ahmad, Absar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ogale, Satishchandra</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Silicate nanoparticles by bioleaching of glass and modification of the glass surface</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bioglass</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomaterials</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">borosilicates</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">narroparticles</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JUL</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">29</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">354</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3433-3437</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Bioleaching is examined as a low temperature (50 degrees C) soft chemical approach to nanosynthesis and surface processing. We demonstrate that fungus based bioleaching of borosilicate glass enables synthesis of nearly monodispersed ultrafine (similar to 5 +/- 0.5 nm) silicate nanoparticles. Using various techniques such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and FTIR we compare the constitution and composition of the nanoparticles with that of the parent glass, and establish the basic similarities between the two. The bioleaching process is shown to enhance the non-bridging oxygen component and correspondingly influence the Si-O-Si network. The root mean square roughness of glass surface is seen to increase from 1.27 nm for bare glass to 2.52 nm for 15 h fungal processed case, this increase being equivalent to that for glass annealed at 500 degrees C.

Atomic force microscopy images of permeabilized cells show perturbation in the cell wall and offer first-ever visual illustration of surface structure modifications that occur during permeabilization of R. aurantiaca cells leading to enhancement in activity of intracellular enzyme.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.879</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Singh, Sanjay</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Britto, Virginia D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bharde, Atul A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sastry, Murali</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dhawan, Alok</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhagavatula L.

Large volume production of these nanoparticles by industries require environmentally friendly processes of synthesis. In this article, we show that when challenged with an appropriate precursor, the bacterium Actinobacter spp. can lead to the extracellular synthesis of ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles. The biological way of synthesizing these materials probably leads to the in situ doping of elements like C, F, and N into their crystal lattices, which is evidenced by a red shift in the absorption edge. Because the doping is expected to affect the photocatalytic activity of these materials under different light conditions, such investigations have also been undertaken here. Further, the biocompatibility of these nanomaterials (cytotoxicity and genotoxicity) has also been investigated in detail.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Council of Scientific &amp;amp; Industrial Research (CSIR) - India&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.60

These glycolipid nanoparticle conjugates are obtained by exploiting the reductive capability of a class of glycolipids called sophorolipids that play the role of capping agent as well. Further, when tested for their cytotoxicity and genotoxicity on HepG2 cells, these nanoparticles are found to be cytocompatible up to 100 mu M metal concentrations. Of the two metallic systems investigated, gold nanoparticles are found to be more cytocompatible than the same concentrations of silver nanoparticles. Similarly, it is also demonstrated that at 100 mu M, silver nanoparticles cause more DNA damage compared to gold nanoparticles of similar concentrations.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.631</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jaiswal, Manish K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumar, Rajesh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Singh, Sanjay</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jain, Shailija</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vanka, Kumar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Singh, Ravi P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vinylogous michael addition of 3-alkylidene-2-oxindoles to beta,gamma-unsaturated alpha-keto esters by bifunctional cinchona alkaloids</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European Journal of Organic Chemistry</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3-Alkylidene-2-oxindoles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asymmetric synthesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">beta</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">gamma-Unsaturated alpha-keto esters</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Michael adduct</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vinylogous Michael addition</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SEP </style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5690-5694</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A highly enantioselective vinylogous Michael addition of 3-alkylidene-2-oxindoles with beta,gamma-unsaturated alpha-keto esters using a bifunctional tertiary-amine thiourea catalyst is demontsrated.

	An unprecedented thermodynamically unfavorable (4+1) deysmmetrizing spiroannulation through a thermodynamic enolate intermediate, enabling a single-step synthesis of ubiquitous scaffolds such as all-carbon chiral spirocycles, is disclosed. In this spiroannulation, we present a vinylogous organocatalytic enantioselective desymmetrizing (4+1) cycloaddition approach involving alkylidene malononitrile and cyclopent-1,3-dienone. This carbospiroannulation method produces functionally enriched spiro[4,4]nonane structures with three stereocenters, has presented good-to-high yields and enantiomeric ratios. Detailed DFT calculations reveal an intriguing reaction mechanism, which validates our observations.&lt;/p&gt;
