This study determined the concentration of pesticides contaminating soil and water, effect on microbial activity physicochemical properties. Nutrient agar was used for enumeration total heterotrophic bacteria by pour plate method. Enumeration fungi done with Potato Dextrose Agar. Soil CO2-evolution estimated every 5-days 25 days. Total nitrogen using macro-Kjeldhal distillation Available phosph...

Abstract The high organic matter content allows soil microbial activity to recycle matter, which is essential for life, such as the nitrogen cycle. process of biological fixation by microorganisms crucial entry into This study aims isolate and characterize nitrogen-fixing bacteria in paddy using fertilization applications. was conducted Salassae Village, Bulukumba, South Sulawesi, Laboratory Mi...

The need for energy resources is growing all the time, which means that more fossil fuels are needed to provide them. People prefer consume chicken as a source of protein, and this creates an abundance waste. Thus, microbial fuel cells represent new technological approach with potential generate electricity through action electrogenic bacteria toward manure, while reducing manure. This study in...

A set of 12 fluorogenic glycine riboswitches with different thermodynamic and kinetic response properties was engineered. For the design of functional riboswitches, a three-part RNA approach was applied based on the idea of linking a RNA sensor, transmitter and actuator part together. For the RNA sensor and actuator part, we used the tandem glycine aptamer structure from Bacillus subtillis, and...

The plant has diverse ethnomedicinal uses which include: The Plant is used in the Ijaw area of Niger Delta region of Nigeria to treat Malaria, convulsion, diarrhea and as a remedy for skin infection. The antibacterial study on dic...

Chemical investigation of the methanol extract of the wood of Garcinia succifolia Kurz (Clusiaceae) led to the isolation of 1,5-dihydroxyxanthone (1), 1,7-dihydroxyxanthone (2), 1,3,7-trihydroxyxanthone (3), 1,5,6-trihydroxyxanthone (4), 1,6,7-trihydroxyxanthone (5), and 1,3,6,7-tetrahydroxyxanthone (6). All of the isolated xanthones were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against bacte...
