ABSTRACT The extraction of potash from plantain peels and antibacterial activity of potash obtained from plantain peels on selected bacterial isolates such as Staphylococcus sp. Escherichia sp. and Pseudomonas sp. was studied using standard analytical and microbiological method. Pseudomonas sp. was isolated from wound samples, Escherichia sp. was isolated from urine samples while Staphylococcus was […]

ABSTRACT Antibiogram and microbiological assessment of bacteria isolated from Littorina littorea. The study was subjected to the assessment of microbiological and antibiotics sensitivity test of the discovered pathogens, Staphylococcus sp, Klebsiella sp, Enterococcus sp, Enterobacter sp, and Bacillus sp. The total bacterial colony count was 17.0×104 and the total fungal colony count was 1.2×104 respectively,

ABSTRACTS The research work was aimed at determining or assessing the antibacterial effect of garlic on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Garlic was used in the investigations to determine its efficacy, the staphylococcus aureus at 80% concentration zone of inhibition was 17.5mm and 7.0mm proven to be effective. And it zone of inhibition at 100%, 60%,

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to carry out the bacteriological analysis of crab (Brachyura) purchased from Itu creek, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. A total of six (6) samples were purchased and taken to microbiology laboratory for analysis within 2 hours using standard procedures. The following isolates were obtained; Enterococcus sp, Bacillius sp, Staphylococcus

ABSTRACT The isolation and identification of bacteria from wound surface were study using the standard microbiological method. The wound samples were collected from five different  patients  and  were brought to the microbiology laboratory for analysis five in numbers,  the highest bacterial colonies count was 70 while the lowest bacterial colonies count was 10. This study

ABSTRACT This study was aimed at investigating the microbial contamination of kitchen towels. Standard aseptical methods in the microbial analysis of the samples was employed. A total of five (5) samples were collected from volunteers and the result of the study revealed that Sample A and sample E had the highest heterotrophic bacterial and fungal

The colony count of bacteria showed

ABSTRACT Anatomical studies of Rauvolfia vomitoria was carried out using standard procedure. Upper surface (adaxial) and lower surface (abaxial), showed the following features which include: irregular and polygonal epidermal cell shapes respectively, Anomocytic stomatal type on abaxial surface and none on the adaxial surface. The trichome is absent on both surfaces. The stomatal distribution for

ABSTRACT Using standard method of analysis, bioaccumulation  factor of gastropods from Ayadeghe beach showed T. fuscatus. Zn(0.73) >Ni (0.60) >Cr (0.19) >Cd(0.07) > Pb(nil); E. radiata; Zn (0.33) > Cd(0.07) >Cr (0.06) > Ni (0.03) > Pb (Nil). Zn was noticed to have highest B.F and all the value were below 1. Heavy metal pollution

ABSTRACT M. cola is a well known traditional medicinal plants that belongs to the family Malvaceae. The research work is to determine epidermal characteristics of M. cola. The results obtained for the abaxial and adaxial surface were amphistomatic distribution of stomata, anisocytic stomata and the epidermal cell shape was irregular. The identification is commonly based
