Increased environmental pollution has necessitated the need for eco-friendly clean-up strategies. Filamentous fungal species from gold and gemstone mine site soils were isolated, identified assessed their tolerance to varied heavy metal concentrations of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), arsenic (As) iron (Fe). The identities strains determined based on internal transcribed spacer 1 2 (ITS ITS 2) regions. Mycelia growth subjected a range (0-100 Cd), (0-1000 Cu), (0-400 Pb), (0-500 As)...
Increased heavy metal pollution generated through anthropogenic activities into the environment has necessitated need for eco-friendly remediation strategies such as mycoremediation. With a view to prospecting fungi with potentials, tolerance of five Aspergillus species isolated from soils three active gold and gemstone mining sites in southwestern Nigeria varied concentrations was investigated. Isolated strains were identified based on internal transcribed spacer 1 2 (ITS ITS 2) regions....
Abstract Multi-drug resistance traits of Staphylococcus species especially methicillin-resistant aureus (MRSA) in the clinical settings are well established. Of environmental concern is hospital effluents discharging into wastewaters. This article investigated prevalence and detection antibiotic genes from sources Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Standard culture-based molecular protocols were used. Seventy-six (27 clinical, 14 effluent 35 environmental) isolates recovered: 56.58% coagulase-negative 43.42%...
Freshwater habitat is a natural reservoir for antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR poses serious human, animal, and environmental public health threats. This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical microbiological quality of five selected rivers (Apitipiti 1, Apitipiti 2, 3, Sogidi, Aba Apa Akinmorin) in Oyo town, Nigeria, as well antibiotic pattern isolated bacterial species, using conventional methods. Most parameters were within WHO NIS permissible limits. Pearson's correlation matrix...
This study examined the types, nature and intensity of academia-industry interactions in Nigeria's pharmaceutical innovation system. Eight (8) top-ranked universities offering Pharmacy as a course study, 2 Pharmaceutical Research Institutes 25 firms were sampled for study. Interactions are predominantly form knowledge flow consultancy, staff exchange/fellowship programmes well sponsored workshop participations. Intensity is limited only 20% researchers from Universities 7% had strong with...
Seasonal variations and proximity to polluted sites, among other factors, play a vital role in soil composition. The impact of spatio-seasonal changes on bacterial heavy metal content around the platinum mine tailings dam, Rustenburg, South Africa, was assessed. Tailings topsoils collected during summer winter were examined for abundance, physicochemical parameters contents using standard methods. Data analysed ANOVA, correlation cluster analyses. Bacteria counts 2.5 × 105 1.0 106 3.5 7.8...
The overall objective of this paper is to develop strategies on how renewable energy technology could be used abate climate change impacts in Africa. While assessing the potential Africa, asserts that capable overcoming challenges access Africa as a result abundance land, water and feedstocks. It reiterates fact fossil-fuel-dependent industrialisation pathway not sustainable. develops model for African countries based concept latecomer strategy, which catch up with advanced manufacturing...
We investigated the prevalence of antibiotic resistant staphylococci and detection resistant, virulence, Spa genes in a South African wastewater treatment plant. Species identified were Staphylococcus aureus, S. lentus, arlettae, cohnii, haemolyticus, nepalensis, sciuri (now Mammaliicoccus sciuri), xylosus. Isolates showed high resistance to methicillin (91%), ampicillin (89%), ciprofloxacin (86%), amoxycillin (80%), ceftazidime (74%), cloxacillin (71%). Multiple (MAR) index for isolates...

The COVID-19 which belongs to the coronaviridae family has continued spread in a geometric progression version. disease that originated from Wuhan, Hubei, China all continents of World except Antarctica continent. As 5th August, 2020 there are over 18 million reported cases 214 countries and territories world. More than 10 people have recovered while approximately 696,147 died due COVID-19. This review provides general information on gives deep insight into course disease, interventions...
