Effluent samples were collected from dye-houses at Itoku, Abeokuta (Southwestern, Nigeria). Bacteria were isolated from samples collected. The bacteria isolated were screened for their ability to decolourize dyes used in the local textile industries. The isolate with the highest decolourization ability on the dyes was used to decolourize effluents from the dye-houses. Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis and Brine Shrimps Cytotoxicity test was carried out using cell free supernatant of the effluent to determine the degradative ability and the detoxification potential of the isolate. Bacillus licheniformis showed the best decolourization ability for the dyes having 90.32% and 63.76% decolourization potential on Gambia gold and army green respectively. It was therefore used in the treatment of effluent from local textile industries and it had 43.23% decolourization potential. GC-MS...

Fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) - E. coli and Enterococcus , were isolated using USEPA methods 1603 and 1600 respectively. Pathogens ( Vibrio parahaemolyticus , V. vulnificus , Salmonella , Citrobacter , Serratia , Pseudomonas and Aeromonas ) as indicative bacteria of public health significance were isolated using membrane filter techniques and plating on appropriate selective media. Higher counts of FIB were isolated from sand samples compared to beach water sampled while Marina and Badagry Jetties recorded highest faecal counts. V. parahaemolyticus was detected in all beaches sampled while V. vulnificus and Salmonella were detected in 4 sampling sites. Aeromonas was detected from both water and sand samples of 6 sampling s...

Ten (10) borehole filter samples were collected from private homes in Ijebu-Ode, Southwestern Nigeria. These were analyzed using standard procedures. Antibiotic susceptibility of isolates was determined using the standard disc diffusion method. The temperature o oand pH range of filter samples recorded was 27.6 – 28.9C and 6.09 – 6.90C respectively. Total dissolved solid, total suspended solid and total dissolved oxygen of filter samples recorded ranged 3 3between 10 - 55mg/L, 0.5 x10 - 17.14 x 10mg/L and 4.7 - 9.7mg/L respectively. Chemical oxygen demand ranged from 9.5 - 13.25mg/L while biochemical oxygen demand ranged from 4.5 - 8.5mg/L. Total heterotrophic count, Salmonella-Shigella count and Escherichia coli count ranged from 16 x 3 5 3 5 3 510 - 52 x10, 0 x 10 - 12 x 10 and 0 x 10 - 12 x10 CFU/mL respectively. Faecal coliform count 3 5ranged from 0 ...

The effects of various experimental parameters have also been investigated using a batch adsorption technique at room temperature. The extent of dye removal increased with decrease in the initial concentration, initial pH of the dye solution and increased with increase in contact time, amount of adsorbent used. Adsorption data were modeled using the Freundlich, Langmuir adsorption isotherms and first order kinetic equations. The kinetics of adsorption were found to be first order with regard to intra-particle diffusion rate. These results indicate that Chitin was found to be effective adsorbent alternative to Commercial activated carbon in waste water treatment for the removal of color and dyes.

The bacterial population was studied over Ninety days in sterilized and unsterilized polluted soil samples of different textures. The outcome revealed a general gradual decrease in the bacterial population of the isolates ranges from 22.0% to 56.6% over the 90 days but with higher survival strength in the sterilized soil samples than un-sterilized samples. Pseudomonas strain B6 shows percentage reduction value of 22.9% and 33.3% respectively in sterilized silty-clay polluted soil samples and loamy polluted soil samples, strain D4 shows 25.5% survival in silt-clay and 56% in loamy soil samples while E4 shows 35.5% and 22.0% population reduction in the two respective soil samples. This study reports the essential of adequate knowledge of physicochemical characteristics of soil environment as well as necessary biotic factors for survival of any isolates intended to be used in bioaugmentation for the remediation of polluted soils.

Glucose and fructose as well as ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3) and potassium nitrate (KNO 3) served as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. Turbidimetric readings of growth showed that highest growth changes in carbon sources occured at 96 hours in 2% w/v glucose supplement medium having 0.76, 0.70, and 0.36 absorbance reading for strains B6, D4, and E4, respectively, while strains B6 and D4 had 0.31 and 0.33 at 3% w/v fructose supplement at 48 hours, and at 72 hours strain E4 had its highest growth of 0.16 at 3% w/v. Exceptional growth changes of 0.82 and 0.53 absorbance were recorded in strain E4 in 0.2% w/v on NH 4 NO 3 and KNO 3 supplement at 96 hours while other strains did not show appreciable growth changes in both sources of nitrogen. This investigation showed that single supplement with either carbon or nitrogen sources resulted in increased growth rate, but not a combination of the sources, except in E4 that showed growth changes of 1.1 and 0.9 in NH 4 NO 3 combined with glucose and with fructose, respectively. Understanding of the physiological and biochemical factors on growth of these isolates will expose the potentiality of such isolates for the bio-treatment of lead polluted environment.

Out of a total population of 1404, 274 representing 19.52% of the children were found to be infected by the disease. The commonest dermatophytes infection among the children was Tinea capitis accounting for 82.4% of the infection. The infection was common among the male than the female and found to be frequent among the children between ages of 7 and 10 years. It was prevalent among families whose socioeconomic status is below average. Thirteen species of dermatophytes were isolated from the various forms of the infection, Tinea capitis has the highest number of fungal isolates and the most common causative organism is Microsporium audouinii. The sources of infection among the school children in this area were found to be the soil and domestic animals.
