Abstract Marine cyanobacteria Lyngbya Majuscula supported manganese dioxide-based novel green nanoparticle synthesised by simple precipitation method. The combination of microscopic and spectroscopic techniques we are using to characterise the synthesised Lyngbya Majuscula with manganese nanoparticles (LmMnO2NPs). The preparation of manganese dioxide nanoparticles is an entirely eco-friendly green synthesis method. The existence of biomolecule-based metal oxides was confirmed using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The XRD pattern confirms a crystalline nature and polydispersity. The optical transmission 269 nm using commonly used UV spectra and compute the optical band gap values of the material to be approximately 3.71 eV. The photodegradation study reveals manganese dioxide nanoparticles under LED light to 86% degradation within the 150 min of reaction. The standard volume of the synthesised manganese dioxide nanoparticles range was 115.8, and the DLS study confirms the 0.375 polydispersity index value. The green synthesised manganese dioxide nanoparticles obtained from the blue-green algae extract of Lyngbya Majuscula revealed potent antimicrobial activity Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Micrococcus luteus, Aspergillus niger, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Trichoderma viride. In addition, the biosynthesised manganese dioxide nanoparticles may lead to better activity against the pathogenic microorganisms by the agar well diffusion method.

The objective of the current study is represented by the determination of silica and a phytochemical screening of phenolic derivates of some Equisetum species. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activity for Equisetum pratense Ehrh.,, Equisetum sylvaticum L. and Equisetum telmateia Ehrh. (sin. Equisetum maximum Lam.) were also investigated. The concentration of silicon (Si) in plants was determined by the spectrophotometric method using previous treatment with NaOH 50% both for the stem and the nodal branches [1]. Results obtained varied from 95.12 to 162.10 SiO2 mg/g dry plant which represents 4.44% to 7.58% Si/100g dry sample. Two types of total extracts were obtained using different solvents and were subjected to qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis considering total phenolic content [2]. The highest concentration of investigated compounds was found in the methanolic extract, E. sylvaticum, 196.5mg/g dry sample. Antioxidant activity was monitored spectrophotometrically and expressed in terms of IC50 (�g/mL) [3]. Values gathered ranged from 261.7 to 429.5 �g/mL. The highest capacity to neutralized DPPH radicals was found in E. sylvaticum. In vitro antimicrobial activity was determined using difusimetric method [4]. Testing was performed on four microorganisms: three strains of bacteria and one species of fungi. Different effects were noticed against the bacteria, furthermore the methanol extract appeared to be most efficient. All extracts showed significand antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Candida albicans (ATCC 90028) and weak to no activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922).
