High Prevalence of Multidrug-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Pre-Treated Pharmaceutical Wastewater: Evidence of Treatment Failure in Nigerian Manufacturing Facilities

Olaosebikan O. O., Nomeh O. L., Ogba R. C., Peter I. U.*, Iroha I. R.

Pharmaceutical wastewater treatment plants are intended to mitigate environmental contamination, yet their efficacy against critical priority pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa in low- resource settings remains unverified. This study isolated P. aeruginosa exclusively from pre-treated effluents across three Nigerian pharmaceutical facilities to assess treatment performance and compare inter-fac...

Effect of Physiochemical Characteristics and Microbial Water Quality on Tensile Strength of Eichhornia crassipes Harvested from Four Rivers in Southwest Nigeria

Akinmola E. A.*, Olalemi A. O., Emidun O. B., Adiji B. E.

This study investigated the influence of microbial water quality and physicochemical characteristics of the aquatic environment supporting the growth of water hyacinth on the mechanical properties of its fibre. Water hyacinth and water samples were collected from four rivers (Igbokoda, Makun, Epe and Badagry) in Southwest Nigeria. The load of faecal indicator bacteria in the water samples and the ...

Isolation and Screening of Aspergillus niger Mutant for Improved Gluconic Acid Production

Ayodele E. O., Afolabi F. T.*

Gluconic acid (GA, C6H12O7, or 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-pentahydroxyhexanoic acid) is a mild organic acid resulting from the oxidation of D-glucose. Gluconic acid has low toxicity, low corrosion and form complexes with metal ions giving it wide application in several industries. This study aimed to isolate and screen for Aspergillus niger mutant for improved gluconic acid production. A total of 204 A. niger ...
