Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Bacterial Inoculants on Agronomic Performance of Three Genotypes of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in Coastal Areas of PeruSergio Eduardo Contreras Liza, Juan Carlos Custodio Laura, Doris Elizabeth Zúñiga Dávila, Sady García BendezúTo study the effect of interaction of plant genotypes and populations of microorganisms in the rhizosphere may be an important factor to assess the effectiveness of PGPRs on crop production. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of inoculation of four bacterial strains on the agronomic performance of three commercial cultivars of potato in the province of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 6 Nov 2017 · 8,275 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Microbial and Heavy Metal Contents in Soils and Roots under Mangrove Forest Stands with Different Levels of Pollution in the Niger River Delta, NigeriaAroloye Ofo NumbereOil and gas exploration in the Niger Delta, has resulted to increased heavy metal contamination. It is thus postulated that increased heavy metal will lead to decreased microbial content in soil and root. To test this hypothesis ten replicates each of soil and root samples were collected from already established sites. Samples were sent to the laboratory for analyses of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2017 · 8,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF RHIZOBIA AND PLANT GROWTH-PROMOTING RHIZOBACTERIA AND THEIR EFFECTS ON GROWTH OF RICE SEEDLINGSK. Z. Tan, O. Radziah, M. S. Halimi et al.Biofertilizer is a relatively safer, environmentally friendly and cost-effective approach as an alternative to reduce chemical fertilizer usage. The selection of bacterial strains with multiple beneficial characteristics are important to maximize the effectiveness on the host plant. Due to aforementioned interest, several Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacterial (PGPR) and rhizobial strains were isolated from rice and legume roots, respectively, at four locations … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 15 Apr 2014 · 10,904 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLOW COMPLEXITY CONSTRAINTS FOR ENERGY AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT OF HETEROGENEOUS MULTICORE PROCESSORS USING DYNAMIC OPTIMIZATIONA. S. Radhamani, E. BaburajOptimization in multicore processor environment is significant in real world dynamic applications, as it is crucial to find and track the change effectively over time, which requires an optimization algorithm. In massively parallel processing multicore processor architectures, like other population based metaheuristics Constraint based Bacterial Foraging Particle Swarm Optimization (CBFPSO) scheduling can be effectively implemented. In this study we discuss … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 3 Apr 2014 · 6,645 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Escherichia coli with the Prevalence of Flies PopulationHassan Flayiah Hassan, Marryam AlkafagiMass releases of house fly Musca domestica (L) and stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans (L). Produced by manure piles accumulated nearby horse stables and dairy farm village in Abu-Graib provide continuous threat to inhabitants west of Baghdad. Timing of fly’s mass release in association with the presence of Escherichia coli in manure piles was examined at these locations. Experimental result indicated … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2013 · 7,200 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon-Polluted Mangrove Swamps Using Nutrient Formula Produced From Water Hyacint (Eicchornia crassipes)Frank Anayo Orji, Abiye Anthony Ibiene, Phillip O. OkerentugbaLaboratory-scale studies were carried out using a nutrient formula produced from Eicchornia crassipes plant to achieve bioremediation of crude oil impacted mangrove soil. In a 70 day study, the culturable heterotrophic bacterial population of the Eichhornia crassipes recipe increased from 6.26×105 Cfu/g to 2.69×107 Cfu/g. The control set-up had its total culturable bacterial count increased from 5.76×105 Cfu/g to 1.24×106 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,643 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatus of Soil Microbial Population, Enzymatic Activity and Biomass of Selected Natural, Secondary and Rehabilitated ForestsK. S. Daljit Singh, A. Arifin, O. Radziah et al.Substantial clearance of forests and conversion of forest into various land use types contribute to deterioration of soil fertility and associated nutrients loss. Soils from natural and rehabilitated forest in Chikus Forest Reserve and also enrichment planting forest and secondary forest of Tapah Hill Forest Reserve, Perak, Malaysia were selected in order to assess the influence of land use change … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Aug 2013 · 7,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEast Kolkata Wetland: A Multifunctional Niche of International ImportanceI. Mukherjee, S. Ray Chaudhuri, D. Ghosh, A. R. ThakurProblem statement: In the megacity Kolkata, the need for space to accomodate the ever increasing population is increasing day by day. As a result the encoarchment of the large wetland on the eastern frindge of the city is increasing and so is the threat of its loosing the status of Ramsar Status.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhenanthrene Contaminated Soil Biotreatment Using Slurry Phase BioreactorM. Arbabi, M. Sadeghi, Ch. AnyakoraProblem Statement: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are suspected toxins that accumulate in soils and sediments due to their insolubility in water and lack of volatility. Slurry-phase biological treatment is one of the innovative technologies that involve the controlled treatment of excavated soil in a bioreactor. Due to highly soil contamination from petroleum compounds in crude oil extraction and also oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,758 accessesView PDFCite
