Contamination of soil with petroleum hydrocarbons (HCs) is a serious environmental challenge, posing severe immediate and long-term impacts as many their constituents are potentially toxic, mutagenic and/or carcinogenic. In this study, activated sludge derived from Vitellaria paradoxa nut wastewater was evaluated for its most effective component in bioenhancement sandy that low nutrients endogenous microbial affinity HCs (<10% HC concentrations converted to CO2 30 d). Soils contaminated...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous gram-negative pathogen with susceptibility to cause opportunistic infections in humans. Among the total of 75 isolated presumptive aeruginosa, by cultural and morphology characteristic, 55 were identified as specie-specific primer employing PCR assay which was more sensitive for confirmation isolates. Fifty-five isolates screened using presence integrons associated resistance gene cassette. Thirty-four harbored class 1 (61.8%), 27 (79.4%) carried...
Anaerobic digestion is an established sustainable route for managing the organic fraction of municipal solid waste. The commonly adopted mono waste often beset by many challenges chief which process instability. This study assessed role biochar in stability and pathogen fate batch co-digestion food (FW) cattle rumen content (CRC). Biochar had different functional groups, a large surface area (627.50 m2/g), pore volume (0.32 cm3/g). amendments helped stabilize pH reduce accumulation volatile...
Increase in antimicrobial resistance coupled with successful treatment of various diseases herbal medications has triggered the upsurge research geared towards harnessing medicinal potentials plants. The aim this study was to evaluate phytochemical composition Bryophyllum pinnatum, Ocimum gratissimum, Jatropha curcas and Ficus exasperata their combined antibacterial activity on Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia. Plant leaves were air–dried,...
The investigation delved into a comparative assessment of primers employed in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for amplifying bacterial DNA sourced from diverse sampling locations within effluent Eleme Petrochemical Industry. Two extraction methodologies, namely ethanol precipitation and guanidium thiocyanate ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) sarcosyl buffer (GES), were scrutinized. Comparative analysis yield quality indicated superior recovery with GES method contrast to extraction....
This study assessed the hydrocarbon degradative potentials of cellulolytic fungi cultured from top soil samples within Benin City, Edo State. Soil were collected 3 sites; a farmland, fallow plant covered land, and municipal dumpsite. Physicochemical parameters based on standard methods. Standard cultural molecular techniques used to isolate identify present in samples. Cellulolytic activity fungal isolates was determined with Czapek-dox agar supplemented 0.1% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose...
Abstract Four cyanobacterial strains isolated from arsenic (As) contaminated area in Minas Gerais, Brazil namely: Pseudanabaena spp. CCM-UFV063 and CCM-UFV065, Tolypothrix sp CCM-UFV067 , Desmonostoc sp. CCM-UFV070 were grown on BG-11 0 culture media respectively supplemented with di-sodium hydrogen arsenate heptahydrate (As 5+ ) at concentrations of 0, 1, 10, 100, 1000 5000 mg L −1 . The growth was measured by means optical density daily for seven (7) days. Contents chlorophyll a...
Background: Vibrio species are gram-negative bacterium widely distributed in the aquatic environment. Several virulence factors have been associated with pathogenicity of vibrios such as proteases, phospholipases, hemolysins, cysteine and bacteriocin-like substance. This study evaluates antibiotic resistance putative virulence-associated genes strains isolated from abattoir effluents an urban community. Methods & Materials: The disk diffusion method was used for characterization antibiogram...
Background: The major influences on the increase and spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria are use agents in human medicine their livestock for therapy growth promotion. To generate baseline data to future risk assessment resistance, a number surveillance program local, continental global scale have been initiated. prevalence resistance commensal E. coli is good indicator selective pressure by antibiotics problems be expected pathogenic bacteria. aim this study was determine compare...

 Cattle dung is used as organic fertilizer and alternative source of fuel or biogas but could also be a antibiotic resistance genes in the environment. This study isolated, identified assessed susceptibility pattern bacteria from cattle its contaminated soil. Bacteria isolation identification were based on standard techniques while hemolytic activity was to confirm potential pathogenic bacteria. Antibiotic isolated pathogens assayed by disk diffusion method. Among bacteria,...
Waste human hair causes environmental problems such as flooding, a result of clogged drainages. It slowly breaks down over time to yield macro and trace minerals that are eventually returned nature. Pleurotus ostreatus is cultivated worldwide, it’s known grow on several carbon nitrogen sources. This study assessed the growth P. using potato dextrose agar (PDA) supplemented with Human Hair Broth (WHHB). The mycelium was studied for 15 days PDA different concentrations WHHB (0, 25, 50, 75 100%...
Rhizoremediation involves the use of plants and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for remediation contaminated soil. This study evaluated Pseudomonas aeruginosa Eleusine indica to remediate cadmium-polluted Soil samples were collected around roots E. PGPR isolated their capacity promotion. P. was selected Cd experiment which based on treatments T1 (control soil), T2 (soil + cadmium), T3 applied 2x monthly) T4 (Soil Plant once). T5 1x T6 Cd) T7 plant). concentration in soil...
Abstract Waste human hair (WHH) is a part of municipal solid waste generated from salons that may lead to clogging drainage pipes ensued with flooding. Pleurotus ostreatus (mushroom) capable utilizing several organic substrate types due its enzyme secretions. This study determined the potential WHH in cultivating edible mushrooms P. (Oyster mushroom). males was collected two (2) barbing Benin, Edo state. Microbial analysis based on standard methods while pulverised samples (pasteurised and...
