The present work aimed to investigate the microbial dynamics during the anaerobic treatment of the azo dye blue HRFL in bench scale upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactor operated at ambient temperature. Sludge samples were collected under distinct operational phases, when the reactor were stable (low variation of color removal), to assess the effect of glucose and yeast extract as source o...

This study assessed the chemical and microbial contents in the water of public swimming pools in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. A total of 16 public pools were selected through probability sampling from the 32 pools that existed in the five urban areas of Akwa Ibom State. Water samples were collected from the sampled pools and tested in the laboratory for chemical and microbial contents. Results sho...

In the indigenous health care delivery system of Ethiopia, numerous plant species are used to treat diseases of infectious origin. Regardless of the number of species, if any of such claims could be verified scientifically, the potential significance for the improvement of the health care services would be substantial. The objective of this study was, therefore, to determine the presence of ant...

background: contamination of swimming pools’ water can lead to the transfer of different diseases to humans. the aim of this study was to investigate the quality of water in kerman swimming pools. methods: in this cross-sectional study, sampling from swimming pools was performed before and after swimming, every week. total number of samples collected was 150 samples. samples were investigated i...

this study investigated the microbial community in a full scale anaerobic baffled reactor and sequencing batch reactor system for oil-produced water treatment in summer and winter. the community structures of fungi and bacteria were analyzed through polymerase chain reaction–denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and illumina high-throughput sequencing, respectively. chemical oxygen demand eff...

The aim of this study was to determine physicochemical, microbial properties and antioxidant activity of fermented camel milk (Chal) and introduce it as a functional food. The protein content of the samples was determined using Kjeldahl method and total dry matter using oven drying method. The amount of fat content with Gerber method and pH was measured using a pH meter. Antioxidant activity wa...
