Tel.: +2348134136233 The objective of this study was to isolate and determine the antibiotic sensitivity patterns of bacteria isolated from Ogbete abattoir effluent in Enugu State to different classes of antibiotics. Sixty bacterial isolates were obtained from 20 abattoir effluent samples at 4 different points of Ogbete abattoir. The isolated bacteria were identified using standard microbiology...

In order to estimate the water quality of São Pedro stream, through distribution and composition of Chironomidae larvae present in the sediment four sampling sites were selected. In each sampling site, three sediment samples were collected within a period of twelve months using the Petersen (0.0189 m²) and the van Veen (0.0518 m²) dredges. Samples were washed through a sieve with a 0.21 mm mesh...

Anaerobic fluidized membrane bioreactors (AFMBRs) have been mainly developed as a post-treatment process to produce high quality effluent with very low energy consumption. The performance of an AFMBR was examined using the effluent from a microbial fuel cell (MFC) treating domestic wastewater, as a function of AFMBR hydraulic retention times (HRTs) and organic matter loading rates. The MFC-AFMB...

Fecal contamination is one of the main freshwater quality problems worldwide. One proposed solutions for this problem treatment effluents at domestic orlocal level with microbial consortia such as effective microorganisms from native origin (MEN in Spanish). In work we evaluated ability a MEN formulation produced Uruguay to reduce fecal effluents. To achieve this, experimentswere carried out di...

Carbon and nitrogen sources in the growth medium play an important role in the production of lignin-degrading enzymes in the white-rot basidiomyceteous fungi. The role of nutrient nitrogen sources in growth media on production of lignin-degrading enzymes namely laccase, lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase as well as on the decolorization of industrial effluents like black liquor, molasse...

Considering the growing water crisis, using wastewater helps reduce pressure on good-quality consumption. In this context, study aimed to evaluate growth, production, and essential oil content of Alfavaca Basilicão Grecco a Palla basil genotypes with DFT (deep flow technique) hydroponic system adapted PVC tubes at different recirculation intervals nutrient solutions prepared treated domestic ef...

Maintaining growth through intensification in the New Zealand dairy industry is a challenge for various reasons, in particular sustainably managing the large volumes of effluent. Dairy farm effluents have traditionally been treated using two-pond systems that are effective in the removal of carbon and suspended solids, however limited in their ability to remove nutrients. In the past these nutr...

In this work we present data on transuranium nuclides 238Pu, 239,240Pu, 241Am, 242Cm and 244Cm in effluents discharged to air (activity concentrations and annually discharged activities of individual radionuclides) from 7 stacks in 2004-2009. In the effluents discharged to air from one stack low activities of transuranium nuclides were observed throughout the studied period. Transuranium nuclid...

The concentrations of toxic effluents released into freshwater aquatic environments are increasing day by day and affect the aquatic biota. The present study outlined the evaluation of physicochemical parameters such as water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), phosphates (PO42--P), nitrates (NO3--N), electrical conductivity (EC)...
