EFFECT OF PHOSPHATE SOLUBILIZING BACTERIA ON GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS OF MAIZE, BEANS AND GROUNDNUT SEEDLINGS IN POTTED SOIL

Nwanyanwu, C. E^*, Umeh, S.I, Sapele A.

Growth effects of phosphate solubilizing bacterial strains on maize, beans and groundnut seedlings in potted soil samples were investigated. The bacterial strains were isolated from uncultivated agricultural farmland on nutrient agar medium. The isolates were tested for their phosphate solubilizing potential using National Botanical Research In...

ISOLATION AND GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS OF Bacillus sp. SD12 IN MEDIUM CONTAINING MIXTURES OF 4-CHLOROPHENOL AND ZINC

Nwanyanwu, C. E^*, Opurum, C.C., Eze, C.C

A bacterial strain tolerance to 4-Chlorophenol and Zinc was isolated from sediment of Okrika River that receives effluent from petroleum refinery plant. Out of fifteen (15) bacterial strains isolated, only one of the isolates identified as Bacillus sp. SD12 with highest adhesion to soil (47.4 %) was found to be tolerant to high concentrations o...

CULTURE-BASED AND MOLECULAR DETECTION OF THE MIROBIAL QUALITY OF BOREHOLE WATER USED IN SOME HOSTELS IN IHIAGWA, IMO STATE

Ogbulie, T.E.^*, Nwanjo, G.O, Azuwike, C O.

Culture-based and molecular detection of the quality of borehole water collected at random from seven hostels in Ihiagwa was undertaken. The bacterial isolates identified using culture-based analysis include Staphylococcus sp, Klebsiella sp, Micrococcus sp, Salmonella sp, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The presence of fungal isol...
