Aims: To isolate and characterize hydrocarbon – degraders in a contaminated soil sample
 Study Design: This experiment was carried out under aseptic conditions. The result confirmed by visible spectrophotometer
 Place Duration of Study: Department Biological Sciences, Microbiology Programme, Clifford University, Ihie Campus, Owerrinta, Abia State, Nigeria, between May 2021 to July 202...

The current systematics of the genus Rhodococcus is unclear, partly because many members were originally included before the application of a polyphasic taxonomic approach, central to which is the acquisition of 16S rRNA sequence data. This has resulted in the reclassification and description of many new species. Hence, the literature is replete with new species names that have not been brought...

A total of 100 environmental samples were investigated for their ability to degrade 1 g/L surfactin as a substrate. Among them, two enrichment cultures, which exhibited microbial growth well degradation, selected and further investigated. After several successive cultivations, nanopore sequencing full-length 16S rRNA genes with MinIONTM was used analyze the bacterial species in cultures. Variov...

The effects of pesticide application on the diversity culturable bacteria in soil corn farmland Sanjiang Plain were studied, and capable degrading acetochloramine samples screened. In black where “ethyldiazine 86” was applied, experimental group control set, two groups cultured screened by coating plate method. 16S rRNA gene sequences morphological characteristics analyzed to determine species ...

Tannase activity of bacteria capable of degrading tannin-protein complexes was determined by a newly developed visual reading method. The method is based on two phenomena: (i) the ability of tannase to hydrolyze methyl gallate to release free gallic acid and (ii) the green to brown coloration of gallic acid after prolonged exposure to oxygen in an alkaline condition. The method has been success...
