Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) has been considered as a class 2Bcarcinogen. As milk is a major nutrient, extensive attention must be taken on the presence of AFM1 in commercial milk and dairy foods. The aim of this study was to evaluate AFM1 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 19 Aug 2015 · 7,259 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Ecological Survey of Microorganisms Associated with Plantain Roots (Rhizosphere)Bello O.S., G.A. UtangProblem statement: Micro-organisms are more predominant around root zone and as such play a vital role to plant. Micro-organisms are diverse and have property modification which are beneficial to plant growth and root development. Approach: The lack of knowledge on the specific microorganisms associated with plantain roots in Cross River State soils (which inturn leads to an avoidable loss of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2011 · 8,271 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Antifungal Bacteriocin-Synthesizing Strains of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis as the Perspective Biopreservatives for Protection of Raw Smoked SausagesL.G. Stoyanova, E.A. Ustyugova, T.D. Sultimova et al.Problem statement: Screening for the effective bacteriocin-synthesizing strains of Lactococcus lactis as the perspective biopreservatives was performed. We used a raw milk and dairy products from different climatic regions as well as from powerful drinks of mixed lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation: kurunga, kumiss and Iranian “Dough”, that were widely used by local population to prevent diseases.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimum Conditions for Measuring Dehydrogenase Activity of Aspergillus niger using TTCA. E. Ghaly, N. S. MahmoudThe suitability of the triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) for dehydrogenase activity measurement of the vegetative cells of the fungal species Aspergillus niger was investigated. The triphenyl formazan (TF) yield increased with the increases in TTC concentration, pH, temperature and incubation time within the studied ranges. The effects of individual parameters, as well as the combined effects, on the TF yield … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 9,008 accessesView PDF Cite
