Two types of bovine milk; processed milk (PM). and unprocessed (UM). each replicated five (5). times were tested for bacterial plate count (BPC). microbial species (MS). Five replicates randomly assigned testing in a Time Series Experimental Design (TSED). at the Samora Machel School Veterinary Medicine University Zambia. The two samples quality load (ML). (PM UM). did not differ significantly ...

We examined the determinants of microbial load in infected diabetic foot ulcers in 62 patients (38 men and 24 women, mean age: 65.63 ± 12.71 years) with clinically infected diabetic foot ulcers. Tissue cultures were taken from ulcers by 4 mm punches. Ulcer grade (University of Texas classification), neuropathy disability score (NDS), neuropathy symptom score (NSS), ankle-brachial index (ABI), p...

Aerobic bidirectional microbial electrodes (ABME) oxidize matter in anodic conditions (substrate supply, no oxygen) and reduce oxygen cathodic (oxygen substrate). The different experimental protocols used to design them, their electrochemical performance the populations involved are reviewed here. In spite of a limited number studies, ABMEs have already shown promising capabilities solve issues...

Background: Cucumber is one of the vegetables that are widely preserved by fermentation in brine. Vegetables such as cucumber are normally not washed in the commercial centers and this causes microbial growth during fermentation. At the beginning of the fermentation process, lactic acid bacteria, depending on the environmental conditions, begin to grow. The aim of this study was to compare the ...

Study was carried out to assess the effect of condensed tannins (CT) containing leaf meal mixture (LMM) on feed intake, body weight changes, parasitic load, urinary excretion of purine derivatives (PD) and microbial protein synthesis (MP) in Haemonchus contortus infected sheep. Eighteen adult male sheep of similar age and body weight (25.03±1.52) were randomly divided into three groups (negativ...

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is changing in both load quantity and chemical composition. The load effects have been studied extensively, whereas the composition effects remain poorly understood. We conducted a microcosm experiment to study how N chemistry affected the soil microbial community composition characterized by phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) and activity indicated by microbia...

present study examined the effect of storage conditions (packaging type, storage temperature and time) on physicochemical and microbial properties of tomato juice. samples were stored for one and three months in two packaging types (bottle and doypack) at 4, 25 and 35oc. results obtained from testes (ph changes, acidity, solid soluble content, vitamin c content, and microbial load) showed that ...

The present study investigated the coupling effect of biodegradation and media filtration in treating hydrocarbon contaminated water. The study recorded reductions in total petroleum hydrocarbon, total dissolved solids, turbidity and microbial load. The study was essentially a simulated pump and treat process that involved the pumping of hydrocarbon contaminated water for treatment in a locally...
