Characterization and Stability of Biosurfactant Produced by Xanthomonas campestris Isolated from Tannery Effluent

Usman Ali Bukar^*, Kawo, A. H., Yahaya, S, Inuwa A. B, Fardami A. Y, Ismail H. Y, Sani I. M

The structural characterization of biosurfactants produced by Xanthomonas campestris isolated from tannery effluents was performed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS). FT-IR analysis revealed distinct functional groups consistent with amphiphilic biosurfactants. A broad band at 3339...

Pathogenicity of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Strains: Molecular and Genetic Perspectives: A Review

Tukur, A. M.^*, Dutsinma, U.A, Kawo, A. H.

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a pathogenic bacterium of significant importance that causes most of the hospital and community acquired infections associated with S. aureus. Methicillin resistance in strains of S. aureus is due to possession of the mecA gene or mecC gene found on a mobile genetic element (SCCmec). The viru...
