Insight into the Organizational Culture and Challenges Faced by Women STEM Leaders in Africa
Compared to their men counterparts, women do not rapidly climb up the leadership ladder due to a glass ceiling obstacle. This study aims to explore the inhibiting factors demotivating Africa women’s leadership pursuit in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). A qualitative approach was adopted using online open-ended questions to seek narratives from African women leaders on their roles and experiences of a STEM career. Data we…
Antibiotic Sensitivity Patterns of Bacterial Pathogens Associated with Urinary Tract Infections in Three General Hospitals in Lagos, Nigeria
This study was carried out to identify the common bacterial pathogens associated with urinary tract infections and their susceptibility patterns to common antimicrobial agents. One hundred (100) clean catch midstream urine samples from patients attending three different hospitals in Lagos, Nigeria were analyzed. A standard microbiologic procedure was used to culture the urine and the identification was done using appropriate biochemical tests. An…
Isolation and Identification of Potential Antibiotic Producing Rare Actinomycetes from Rhizospheric Soils
The search for novel antibiotics producers and their characterization continues to be an important objective in the discovery of novel bioactive compounds. This work was carried out to isolate and identify bioactive secondary metabolite producing rare actinomycetes and to analyse the phylogenetic relationship. The rhizospheric soil samples were collected from different localities of Ngaka Modiri Molema district of North West Province, South Afric…
Rapd Profiling of Bacillus spp with PGPR Potential and Their Effects on Mineral Composition of Tomatoes
Bacillus species have been known to antagonize and inhibit the growth of various plant pathogens but quality of crop from such plants is yet to be investigated. The aim of this study is to analyze the mineral composition of tomato to which Bacillus isolates were applied as a biocontrol agents whose relatedness and diversity has been profiled using the Random Amplification of Polymorphic Deoxyribonucleic acid (RAPD). Eleven Bacillus isolates were …
Biotechnology in Agriculture
In spite of the fact that neediness and nourishment frailty give off an impression of being developed in urban areas as urbanization continues a pace in a large portion of the developing nations, almost seventy percent of meager and sustenance uncertain individuals still dwell in remote areas. Profitability increases are key not only for monetary development, however, also to maintain satisfactory sustenance supplies for the developing world popu…
Effect of Aqueous Extracts of Mangifera indica linn. on the Testes of Adult Male Wistar Rats
The use of various medicinal plants in the treatment and prevention of various ailments especially in developing countries of the world cannot be overlooked. Among these medicinal plants is Mangifera indica linn. whose effect on reproductive parameters of male Wistar rats was studied in this research. Adult male wistar rats used in the study were within the weight range 150-175kg, and were divided into two groups - Group 1(G1) rats were untreated…
Detection of Antibiotic Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from Milk
The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence, antibiotic susceptibility profiles, and virulence genes determinants of S. aureus isolated from milk obtained from retail outlets of the North-West Province, South Africa. To achieve this, 200 samples of raw, bulk and pasteurised milk were obtained randomly from supermarkets, shops and some farms in the North-West Province between May 2012 and April 2013. S. aureus was isolated and positive…
Construction of Specific Primers for Rapid Detection of South African Exportable Vegetable Macergens
Macergens are bacteria causing great damages to the parenchymatous tissues of vegetable both on the field and in transit. To effectively and rapidly investigate the diversity and distribution of these macergens, four specific primers were designed by retrieving 16S rDNA sequences of pectolytic bacteria from GenBank through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). These were aligned using ClusterW via BioEdit and primers were desi…
Screening of Endophytic Bacteria towards the Development of Cottage Industry
Discovery of novel technology which use beneficial endophytic bacteria associated with the root of Sorghum bicolor, Spinacia oleracea, and Zea mays was researched. Total of 23 endophytic bacteria were characterized on the basis biochemical analysis and plant growth-promoting traits. Results showed that Gramnegative (60.8%) were isolated more frequently than Gram-positive bacteria (39.1%). Approximately 65.2% were motile and the remaining 34.7% we…
Relevance of Biofertilizers to Agriculture
In the rhizosphere (the crop root or its close vicinity) microorganisms are abundantly present and they are in millions. The rhizobacteria do not only gain from the nutrients produced from the crop root but also positively affect the crop and this result in stimulation of the crop’s growth. These bacteria are referred to as Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacters (PGPRs) and they have been grouped according to their activities. PGPRs have the potenti…
Assessing the Associated Challenges in the Use of Animal Manure in Plant Growth
The use of animal manure is of course a significant componentas it enhances the growth of crops and invariably improves the yields from such crops. In addition, there is the clamour for organic farming and greenvegetation. Such clamour engages or underscores the importance and relevance of animal manure. Besides, the useof chemical fertilizers has been discouraged because of the various disadvantages. However, care must be taken inthe use of anim…
Antagonistic Effects of Bacillus Species in Biocontrol of Tomato Fusarium Wilt
Fusarium solani is the causative organism of Fusarium wilt of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill). Four Bacillus spp identified as B. amyloliquefaciens, B. cereus, B. pumilus and B. subtilis were tested for biocontrol activities in vitro as zone of inhibition and in vivo as percent disease control and disease incidence. The result from in vitro analysis showed that B. amyloliquefaciens inhibited the growth of F. solani the most by 95.2% while B…
