ABSTRACTThe present study is to isolate fungi from rhizosphere of Moringa oleifera and screen them for the production of some very important enzymes such as amylase and protease. Twenty fungi were isolated from the soil sample from five different farms using pour plate method. The isolates were then identified based on their colonial morphology and microscopic features in wet mount and Lactophenol Cotton Blue staining. All the isolates were screened for amylase and protease production by star...

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW Ear wax is normally produced in the ear canal. It is made up of the secretions of specialized sets of glands located in the ear canal. Sebaceous glands secrete sebum. Sebum is mostly a combination of fatty acids. Modified apocrine sweat glands release a secretion that combines with the sebum to form cerumen. This cerumen also picks up discarded cells and hair follicles. It may contain dust or other debris that finds its way into the ear canal from t...
This work researches food poisoning,bacterial involved, how food poison takes place, control and treatment of food poisoning.
ABSTRACT color:black;mso-themecolor:text1"> Mycotoxinsare secondary metabolites of molds that have adverse effects on humans,animals, and crops that result in illnesses and economic losses. Aflatoxins,ochratoxins, trichothecenes, zearalenone, fumonisins are the mycotoxins ofgreatest agro-economic importance. Some molds are capable of producing morethan one mycotoxin and some mycotoxins are produced by more than one fungalspecies. Often more than one mycotoxin is found on a contamina...
ABSTRACT Antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extract of Mangifera indica peel was tested on some pathogenic organisms. The extract was tested for activity against, Baciollus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonela typhii, Pseudomonas notatum and Aspergillus fumigates. The extract exhibited activity against the organisms in varying degrees. In agar diffusion test, Escherichia coli showed the highest zone of inhibition (8mm) at the concentration of the extract test (1g/3m...
Mutagenesis Lab Procedure 1. Clean your hands and work area. • Clean your hands with hand sanitizer • Put all the food away 2. Acquire a Petri dish from your instructor and label it using a waterproof marker. • Write your name in small letters around the outside edge of the bottom of the dish. • Draw lines on the bottom of the dish to divide it into 3 parts. • Label one area “control”. What is a control and why do you need i...

Abstract This review lays emphasis on the research works carried out across the globe on plastic degrading bacteria. The field of Microbiology is proving to have immense importance in eradicating pollutants from the environment in the long run. One of the most worked on research is on bacterial species that can degrade biodegradable plastic. Biodegradable plastics are made of monomers which bond via ester or ether bonds. Plastics are considered to be one ...
Production of Amylase by solid state fermentation process using the microorganism Aspergillus niger
ABSTRACT With the ongoing adverse effects of using Chemical fertilizers to both the plants, human and animal life, it has become imperative to seek an alternative to this menace. A biofertilizer is a substance which contains living microorganisms which, when applied to seed, plant surfaces, or soil, colonizes the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant. Some common agents in biofe...
Abstract Despite the early success demonstrated with the hepatitis B vaccine, no other recombinant engineered vaccine has been approved for use in humans. It is unlikely that a recombinant vaccine will be developed to replace an existing licensed human vaccine with a proven record of safety and efficacy. This is due to the economic reality of making vaccines for human use. Genetically engineered subunit vaccines are more costly to manufacture than conventional vaccines, since the antigen must...
