A Streptomyces Ds-104 isolate was found to inhibit four multi-drug resistant Candida albicans pathogens with an optimal production of the inhibitory compound(s) in starch, casein, nitrate broth (SCNB) and inhibition zone diameters ranging between 14 and 18 mm. These were significantly different (P= 0.05) from what was obtained in nutrient, oatmeal, inorganic salt starch, and yeast extract, malt...

the postharvest life of cut eustoma grandiflorum flowers is limited in open flowers. therefore a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with ascorbic acid (asa) at 4 levels (0, 100, 200, 300mg l-1) and citric acid (ca) at 3 levels (0, 100, 200 mg l-1) with 3 replications and 3 samples for each replications, was conducted for this purpose. results indicated that a significa...

the effects of l-carnitine on growth performance and carcass composition in male broiler chicks, fed diet in which cp was reduced in a stepwise manner from 21 to 18% were investigated. ileal digestible quantities of all eaa were almost equal in the diets, with quantities nrc 1994 recommendations. one hundred forty four male commercial broilers were allotted to six groups, each with four replica...

The effects of three different traditional processing methods (smoking, frying and salting) on proximate composition of red fish stored under ambient room conditions were determined. Fresh red fish were obtained from Elmina fish market. These were used for the study to determine the proximate properties of the raw fish, smoked fish, fried fish and salted fish before and after storage. The param...
