摘要

In this study, carbonized Prosopis farcta (CPF) ultrafiltration membrane (PES/CPF) was successfully synthesized using Prosopis farcta seeds. As a result of the contact angle measurement analysis, it was demonstrated that PES/2.00%CPF membranes (60.23°) were more hydrophilic than the pure membrane (74.32°) and that Prosopis farcta seeds provided hydrophilic properties to the ultrafiltration membrane. Additionally, PES/2.00%CPF membranes achieved 100% BSA and 100% E. coli removal efficiency. The biological effects of P. farcta seed powder were investigated. It caused single-strand breakage in the DNA cleavage experiment. P. farcta seed powder demonstrated 53.26% inhibition of α-amylase activity at a concentration of 100 mg/L. P. farcta seed powder exhibited the strongest antimicrobial effect against E. faecalis with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 8 mg/L, against E. hirae with 16 mg/L and against S. aureus with 32 mg/L. It was found that it significantly inhibited the cell viability of E. coli at the rate of 95.87% at the dose of 20 mg/L. Again, at the same concentration, it destroyed the biofilms formed by S. aureus and P. aeruginosa bacteria by 89.96% and 75.58%. In addition, 2.0% weight P. farcta seed powder-coated membrane revealed a 98.91% antimicrobial effect. The present study demonstrated that PF seed powder, a natural material, could be an innovative material that can be used in various biomedical applications, and water treatment fields.
