The aim of the study is to isolate indigenous bacterial species which have ability degrade crude oil. Samples were collected from an oil polluted site in Ejama-Ebubu Eleme Rivers state. samples taken five spot (A-E), depth 0-15 (A1– E1) and 15-30 (A2– E2) sterile polyethylene bags, using appropriate equipment, then laboratory for analysis, Physicochemical parameters such as pH, nitrate, sulphat...

The production of biodegradable plastic from microorganisms has great potential as a substitute for conventional plastic. This study aims to isolate bacterial strains capable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) the Kampung Jawa landfill land (KJLL) and characterize biopolymers. were able produce PHA using mineral salt medium (MSM) with glucose carbon source. qualitative screening PHA-producing bacteri...

An accumulation of knowledge with respect to biodiversity on the earth has continued for many years because of its great importance and the interest in investigating it. But further studies are necessary for bacterial biodiversity to reach the stage of complete elucidation. Moreover there is a trial calculation that only 1% of bacteria that actually exist on earth have been isolated (Rondon et ...

Intorduction Dead Sea is a hypersaline lake with 34% salinity, gains its name due to the absence of any living macroscopic creatures. Despite the extreme hypersaline environment, it is a unique ecosystem for various halophilic microorganisms adapted to this environment. Aims & Objectives Halophilic microorganisms are known for various potential biotechnological applications, the purpose of th...

The introduction of molecular diagnostic methods is crucial for improved understanding of the aetiology and epidemiology of bacterial infections in communities in resource poor settings. A blood sample from a 7 month old patient diagnosed with malaria in 2001 in a Gambian outpatient clinic was reported as culture negative after it was subjected to traditional bacterial culture protocols. We re-...

The Twelve rhizospheric bacterial isolates were obtained from soil samples collected various regions of eastern Uttar Pradesh (Sitapur, Hardoiand Barabanki). All the isolated purified further on Nutrient agar media. characterized basis antagonism against Rhizoctonia solani indole acetic acid production, ammonia production and phosphate solubilization. single best isolate was selected qualitativ...

background: this study focused on isolation and identification of a phenanthrene (phe) degrader bacterium and optimization of environmental conditions for phe degradation. materials and methods: enrichment technique was used for isolation and the most effective isolate, named ap, selected based on its phe biodegradation abilities. the isolate was identified using morphological and biochemical t...

Fifty strains of bacteria were isolated from six isolates of the nematode Bursaphelenchus mucronatus (Bm) from China and Russia and identified using the BioMerieux Vitek 32 system. In bioassay, 3 bacterial strains showed the high levels of phytotoxin production while 19, 16, and 12 strains showed moderately, low and no phytotoxin production, respectively. Inoculation of 2-month-old Pinus thunbe...
