Screening and Identification of Biosurfactant-Producing Bactria from Crude Oil Contaminated Soil and Water in the Niger Delta Area, Nigeria

Emeanuru P. C^*, Ogbulie J.N, Adieze, Ifechukwu E., Nwachukwu, I.N., Braide, Wesley

Crude oil pollution is sine qua non in oil exploration and exploitation activities. Biosurfactant increases bioavailability and help to enhance contact between the pollutants and the microorganisms and therefore facilitates uptake and degradation as well as amelioration (remediation) of hydrocarbon polluted environment. Biosurfactant is preferred t...

Biogenic Synthesis of Silver Oxide Nanoparticle from Plants Materials for Control and Management of Microbial Infections in Fishes

Ekaji F. A.^*, Ogbulie J.N, Braide, Wesley, Akujobi C. O, Ajima M

Nanoparticles has shown to be effective in drug delivery, though, its synthesis are time and energy consuming while, the process is toxic to the environment, hence, the utilization of green synthesis method with plants extracts. The study focused on the green synthesis of nanoparticles and its application on isolates of diseased fish. Four differen...

Molecular Characteristics, Antibiotic Sensitivity, and Substrate Specificity of Biosurfactant-Producing Bacterial Isolates from Crude Oil Spill Sites in Niger Delta: A Comprehensive Review

Emeanuru P. C^*, Ogbulie J.N, Adieze I. E., Nwachukwu, I.N., Braide, Wesley, Nwosu C. J

The Niger Delta area, renowned for its biodiversity, has suffered severe environmental degradation due to crude oil spills resulting from oil exploration and exploitation activities. To address this, researchers have explored biosurfactant-producing bacteria as eco-friendly solutions for remediating polluted sites. Indigenous strains, such as Pseud...

Effect of Preparation Method on the Proximate composition and Microbial Quality of Processed/cooked Fermented African Oil Bean Seeds (Ugba)

Eluchie, C.N^*, Ogbulie J.N, Braide, Wesley, Nwachukwu, I.N.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of different cooking methods on the proximate analysis and total microbial content ofUgba, using standard microbiological, proximate and phytochemical methods. Microbiological analysis revealed a progressive increase in the total heterotropic bacteria count and coliform count, from zero hour to ...

Comparative Production, Analysis and Shelf life Studies of Fermented African Oil Bean Seed

Eluchie, C.N^*, Ogbulie J.N, Braide, Wesley, Nwachukwu, I.N.

Bacillus species were isolated from Ugba produced from naturally fermented African oil bean seed. Proximate composition of the traditional Ugba and Ugba produced using controlled fermentation was carried out at different fermentation time (0hr, 24hr, 48hr, 72hr) and the results showed that the moisture content ranges from 53.66%+0.00% and 58.50+...
