Fermented foods play a major role in the diet of people Africa, where wide variety raw materials are fermented. Understanding microbial populations these products would help design specific starter cultures to produce standardized and safer foods. In this study, bacterial diversity African fermented produced from several (cereals, milk, cassava, honey, palm sap, locust beans) under different conditions (household, small commercial producers or laboratory) 8 countries was analysed by 16S rRNA...
Infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) and AmpC-β-lactamase (AmpC-βL)-producers are increasing globally. This study identified bacteria in clinical tap water samples determined the prevalence of MDR, enzymes genes.Isolates were Vitek 2 (bioMérieux, France) automated system. Antibiotic resistance screening for genes was done using disc diffusion method system, CHROMagar-ESBL, combined double disc,...
Several reports have shown that about 25% of harvested fruits globally are lost to spoilage by microorganisms. The study determined the quantitative metabolites and bioactivities Aspilia africana extracts on fungi from spoiled Cucumis sativus Carica papaya fruits. C. were obtained using mycological techniques. aqueous (ALEAA) ethanol (ELEAA) A. standard protocol disc diffusion technique, respectively. fungal genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, Mucor, Fusarium, Rhizopus. There variations in...
ABSTRACT Genomic features of Staphylococcus auricularis PAPLE_T1 isolated from waste sample Carica papaya obtained Lagos State, Nigeria, revealed its putative capability to synthesize valuable secondary metabolites. S. has a 2.4 Mb genome and could be useful as biological agro-antibiotics, for soil bioremediation in biotechnological industry.
Lysinibacillus fusiformis PwPw_T2 isolated from deteriorating Ananas comosus sample collected Lagos State, Nigeria putatively possesses genomic features like potential enzymes catalyzing acetic acid production and xenobiotic compounds degradation via various pathways as indicated by its genome sequences. These could make the organism relevant in food waste valorization micro-biotechnology.
The Crassostrea gasar (C. gasar) are economically important bivalves. study investigated the physico-chemistry, morphometrics and microbial profiles of C. gasar, water, sediment from Lagos Lagoon. physico-chemistry morphometry were determined using standard methods while identified by Vitek 2 automated system. mean Total Heterotrophic Bacterial Counts (Log CFU/mL) flesh shells ranged 5.28 ± 0.3 to 5.41 5.49 0.1 5.62 respectively. total coliform counts 4.34 0.2 4.39 Log CFU/mL, highest faecal...
