Study of Zn‐Astrakanite/CuO/ZnO Nanocomposite Using Tribulus terrestris Aqueous Extract, and Their Structural, Optical, Morphological, Dielectric, and Bacterial Properties

Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
Upon UV–vis characterization of biosynthesized Cu doped ZnO nanoparticles, it was found that their bandgap energy was 2.73 eV. In the biosynthesized nanoparticles, metal oxides and functional groups were identified by FTIR analysis. In both Zn‐O and Cu‐O lattices, 472 cm−1 and 523 cm−1 were observed, respectively.

Diversity and assembly of the microbiome of a leguminous plant along an urbanization gradient

Oikos, EarlyView.
Interactions between plants and bacterial communities are essential for host physiology and broader ecosystem functioning, but plant–microbiome interactions can be disrupted by environmental change like urbanization. Here, we evaluated how urbanization affected the diversity and assembly of soil and white clover Trifolium repens microbiome communities.
