Fermented tigernut milk (FTM) was prepared from three different varieties (fresh yellow, big and small dry brown) of (Cyperus esculenta) obtained Bodija market, Ibadan, Oyo state. Fifty two microbial isolates were FTM at fermentation times, 32 which on MRS agar, 12 nutrient agar 8 malt extract agar. Lactic acid bacteria identified as Lactobacillus plantarum (LP), Lactococcus lactis (LC), brevis, cremoris, bulgaricus thermophilus (LT). The non-LAB includes E. coli, Bacillus species Proteus...
Biologically active compounds in most spices possess antimicrobial and other important biomedical properties. There have been huge demands for natural immunity boosters (spices herbs), considering the recent global pandemic challenges relating to drug-resistant pathogens. This study was designed compare efficacy of ginger, garlic turmeric against some pathogenic microorganisms. Aqueous extraction spices, sensitivity minimum inhibitory concentration tests were done using standard...
The indiscriminate deposition of metal-containing substances into the environment contributes significantly to high concentrations metals in soil resulting resistance and consequentially antibiotics by inherent microbes which may eventually spread other pathogenic thereby elevating disease burden due antibiotic resistance. study aimed at determining co-occurrence bacteria isolated from metal-contaminated heavy subsequently, antibiotics. Metal-tolerant were randomly top soils a battery waste...
Ocimum gratissimum L. is a perennial herbaceous plant used in the treatment of fungal and bacterial infections. Green synthesis has provided cost effective, environment friendly procedure raising safe strategies for nanoparticles. This study was aimed at investigating potential O. selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) their antimicrobial activities. Phytochemical screening on aqueous extract carried out using standard procedures. Selenium biosynthesized by characterized Visual detection, UV-Visible...
Fermented cassava products like fufu and usi are important staple foods in many African homes. Natural fermentation time is usually long resulting slower acidification inconsistent nutritional composition of which could be overcome with the use starter culture. However, most available starters used for single food uneconomical. This necessitates development a culture multiple related to reduce cost. Hence, this study aimed at screening potential common usi. Fresh, peeled, chipped grated...
Abstract. This study aimed to assess the composition of wastewater from Oyo Central Abattoir and its possible impact on surrounding groundwater (wells) in Onidundu community as users use them for economic recreational purposes without being fully aware hazard water can cause. For this purpose, were analyzed seven physicochemical parameters, verified by standard methods compared with World Health Organization (WHO) standards. All parameters evaluated within acceptable limits, except...

Vegetables are widely exposed to microbial contamination, thus, harbor diverse microorganisms which may lead infection outbreak.Microbial load on lettuce was estimated in this study, with vinegar, as a disinfecting agent.Randomly purchased samples were analyzed using standard microbiological methods estimate relation disinfectant concentration and exposure time.Microbial of rinsed sterile distilled (control experiment) tap water 3.8 × 10 6 CFU/g 4.0 CFU/g, while those vinegar ranged from 1.0...
High morbidity and mortality rate associated with pneumococcal infection globally is of major concern most especially among infant. This burden equally worsened by multidrug resistance strains due to indiscriminate consumption antibiotics. Hence, need for constant search cheap effective bioactive compounds as alternative antimicrobials the treatment infection. Bioactive compound profiling in-vitro antibacterial activity ginger methanol extract against two predominant agents; Streptococcus...
