Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial Susceptibility of Bovine Subclinical Mastitis and During Milk Separation Isolates and the Accompanying Hygienic PracticesSultan Farag Nagati, Safaa Khamis HassanMilk is considered one of the most perfect foods for humans and milk contains many nutrients. Subclinical mastitis has been counted as a great problem for dairy manufacture. The disease causes severe economic losses due to lower milk production, treatment costs and increased labor and milk retained for human consumption after treatment and premature culling. A cross-sectional study was conducted … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2021 · 6,506 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRemoval of Coliform Content in Sewage Treatment Plant Using a Sand Filtration System with Potassium Permanganate PowderSona Pazdar, Saeid Eslamian, Seyedeh Zahra Hosseini-Teshnizi et al.Reuse of refined sewage with two goals of providing more water and protecting the environment from pollution is one of the solutions to water supply problems and one of the potential sources for irrigation in agriculture. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possibility of effluent disinfection using a sand filtration system to reduce microbial contamination with potassium … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 27 Jun 2019 · 7,583 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Banana, Pineapple and Watermelon Wastes-Substrate: As Consortiums to Remediating Cyanide Polluted SoilFlorence Obiageli Nduka, Samuel Chibuike Ubani, Victor Eshu Okpashi et al.The act of processing cassava for varied food products has come with unguided and wide-spread contamination of cyanide in the environment. The need for effective reduction in cost to enable remediation of cyanide-contaminated sites from cassava mill factories is the purpose of this investigation. This involves bio-stimulation of organic wastes with indigenous microorganisms to degrade cyanide. The application of organic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2018 · 9,930 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
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCorrelation of Biodiversity of Algal Genera with Special Reference to the Waste Water Effluents from IndustriesRitu Singh Rajput, Sonali Pandey, Seema BhadauriaPollution is the introduction of contaminants, which cause adverse change, into the natural environment and mainly from external inputs like sewage, waste from industries, oil spills and agricultural use of pesticides. Anthropogenic activity-reflected in the use of toxic metals and organic pollutants-has increased levels of soil contamination and damage to aquatic systems. Ecosystems maintain water quality and withstand pressure from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2016 · 8,608 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacteria Contaminants and their Antibiotic Sensitivity from Selected Herbal Medicinal Products from Eldoret and Mombasa, KenyaLucia Keter, Richard Too, Nicholas Mwikwabe et al.Herbal products are used worldwide for the treatment and prevention of various diseases and currently represent a substantial proportion of the global drug market. However, these products have the potential of being contaminated by different microorganisms due to poor hygienic practices during handling, processing and packaging. The main aim of this study was to evaluate microbial quality of herbal products … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2016 · 17,160 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacteriological Examination of Computer Keyboards and Mouse Devices and Their Susceptibility Patterns to DisinfectantsOnochie Charles Chimezie, Anyim Chukwudi, Alo Moses Nnaemeka et al.Computers are ubiquitous and have been shown to be contaminated with potentially pathogenic bacteria in some communities. There is no economical way to test all the keyboards and mouse out there, but there are common-sense ways to prevent bacterial contamination or eliminate it if it exists. In this study, swabs specimens were collected from surfaces of 250 computer keyboards and … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2013 · 13,509 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinetics of Biological Treatment of Low Level Pesticide WastewaterAbdel E. Ghaly, Deepika DavePesticides are chemical substances intended to protect food crops and livestock from pests in order to pro-mote agricultural productivity and protect public health. Contamination of soil, air and water and threat to human and animal health are the major constraints in the use of pesticides. Treatment of pesticide contaminated water is, therefore, paramount. Biological treatment provides the most economical option … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 4 Jul 2012 · 8,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosurfactan Production by Bacillus sp. Isolated from Petroleum Contaminated Soils of Sirri IslandM. Ghayyomi Jazeh, F. Forghani, Deog-Hwan OhProblem statement: Biosurfactants are active surface components produced by some bacteria and fungi. These molecules reduce surface and interfacial tension in aqueous solutions and hydrocarbon mixtures. The most important application of biosurfactants is in oil industry to enhance oil quality and facilitate oil extraction. The aim of this study was to isolate biosurfactant producing bacteria and optimize the conditions like … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Jan 2012 · 8,552 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSequential Remediation Processes for Effective Removal of Oil from Contaminated SoilsDeepika Dave, Reema Alharathi, Abdel GhalyProblem statement: Over 2.2 billions of oil and oil products were transported every year and often these activities can result in air, water and soil contamination. Expousure to petroleum products can cause health problems to humn and animals and affect marine animals and wildlife habitats. Approach: The objective of this study was to developed a technology for the remediation of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 18 Nov 2011 · 8,183 accessesView PDFCite
