Evaluating the Impact of Spent Mushroom Substrate on Growth and Yield of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)
Ifatimehin Olabanjo Olugbenga, Alege Gbenga Olorunshola, Aluko Ayokunle Charles
The utilization of natural organic wastes is a significant environmentally safe application in crop production. Consequently, this study investigates the effect of spent mushroom substrate on the growth and yield of okra. Physico-chemical analysis was done on the soil and the pH level of the varied treatments was analyzed as well. The treatments of the SMS consisted of 0%, 5%, 10%, 25% and 50%. Th

Biosurfactants play a crucial role in bioremediation processes, wherein bacteria producing these surfactants utilize contaminants or pollutants as energy and nutrient sources. This study aims to screen and molecularly identify bacteria recovered from soil contaminated by cassava effluent and various vegetables for biosurfactant production. Standard methods were used for bacterial counting, isolati
Bacterial Species Associated with Fresh Meat and Their Heat Sensitivity Profiles
Onyiba, P. O, Asa, A.A and Mbah, N.T
The research trial was to evaluate the bacterial species associated with fresh meat and to determine their heat sensitivity profiles. The fresh beef meat was purchased from Nsukka market at different times for the purpose of enumerating the bacterial organisms present in the meat samples. The samples were cultured on three different media including general and differential media to enumerate the o
Enhanced Physical Properties of TGS/GO-Infused Polyurethane Nanocomposites for Advanced Aerospace Applications
Mona A. Ahmed, Hamdy M. Naguib, Ashraf M. El-Saeed, Emad Mousa, Eman O. Taha
In this study, polyurethane nanocomposites filled with varying ratios of triglycine sulfate (TGS) and graphene oxide (GO) were synthesized and evaluated for their potential use in aerospace applications. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was employed to assess the thermal decomposition and stability of the nanocomposites. The key findings revealed that the inclusion of TGS and GO significantly enha
