Oil spillages in mangrove ecosystems can be problematic hence, the need to source for bioremediation strategies from within the ecosystem. Red mangrove seedlings were carefully uprooted from mangrove soil of Ugbokodo community of Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria. These acclimatize...
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 wit...
Undergraduate research is a core component of Microbiology training and a crucial pathway for enhancing scientific capacity. Despite its recognised value, students in resource-limited settings often complete research projects under substantial infrastructural and institutional constraints. This stud...
Negative impacts of contaminated groundwater on human health are chronic and are very difficult to detect. This study assessed the extents of groundwater contaminations based on the level of microbial and physicochemical characteristics in selected local government areas (LGAs) of Oyo-State, Southwe...
The hands are the chief organs for physical manipulation of the environment. They serve as a medium for the propagation of microorganisms from place to place and from person to person. Human hands usually harbour microorganisms both as part of the body’s normal flora as well as transient microorgani...
Untreated abattoir wastewater contains high microbial loads that may persist in irrigated soils and transferred to edible crops. This study investigated the culture and molecular profiles of microorganisms isolated from abattoir wastewater, it’s irrigated soils and crops cultivated on the receiving ...
In nature, keratinous substrates are broken down by keratinophilic fungus and a major habitat for this fungus is the soil. Their ability to breakdown keratin contributes to the pathogenicity potential of many of these fungi. Their actions may lead to worsen of respiratory diseases and development of...
Piggery activities necessitate large amount of wastewater generation with high concentrations of organic matter and pathogens. This study characterized the microbial and physicochemical properties of discharged piggery wastewater and its bioremediation potential. Wastewater samples collected weekly ...
The demand for an alternative to inorganic fertilizer is steadily increasing due to the drawbacks associated with its usage. The utilization of digestates has gained significant recognition recently due to their remarkable benefits even after being applied to the soil. Hence, this investigation aime...
Plesiomonas shigelloides is an emerging pathogen commonly found in aquatic environment that had been implicated in diverse gastrointestinal diseases. This study evaluated the incidence of Plesiomonas shigelloides and their antibiogram pattern in fish storage water, fish and fish seller’s towel swab....
