A new strategy for heavy metal polluted environments: a review of microbial biosorbents
Ayangbenro, Ayansina Segun; Babalola, Olubukola Oluranti (MDPI, 2017)Persistent heavy metal pollution poses a major threat to all life forms in the environment due to its toxic effects. These metals are very reactive at low concentrations and can accumulate in the food web, causing severe ... -
Ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms: key players in the promotion of plant growth
Amoo, Adenike Eunice; Babalola, Olubukola Oluranti (Instituto de Agroindustria, 2017)Nitrogen (N) is the most important mineral nutrient required by plants. Although some plants can directly utilize N, ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3-) are the only forms of N that are usable to most plants. Ammonia-oxidizing ... -
Biotechnology in Agriculture: risks and opportunities for the rural poor in Semi-Arid-Tropics
Aremu, Bukola Rhoda; Omotayo, Abiodun Olusola; Babalola, Olubukola Oluranti (Kamla-Raj, 2016)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 ... -
Detection of antibiotic resistant staphylococcus aureus from milk: a public health implication
Akindolire, Muyiwa Ajoke; Babalola, Olubukola Oluranti; Ateba, Collins Njie (MDPI, 2015)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 ... -
Effect of bacterial inoculation of strains of pseudomonas aeruginosa, alcaligenes feacalis and bacillus subtilis on germination, growth and heavy metal (cd, cr, and ni) uptake of brassica juncea
Ndeddy, Aka Robinson Junior; Babalola, Olubukola Oluranti (Taylor & Francis, 2016)Bacterial inoculation may influence Brassica juncea growth and heavy metal (Ni, Cr, and Cd) accumulation. Three metal tolerant bacterial isolates (BCr3, BCd33, and BNi11) recovered from mine tailings, identified as Pseudomonas ... -
Health risks associated with exposure to filamentous fungi
Egbuta, Mary Augustina; Mwanza, Mulunda; Babalola, Olubukola Oluranti (MDPI, 2017)Filamentous fungi occur widely in the environment, contaminating soil, air, food and other substrates. Due to their wide distribution, they have medical and economic implications. Regardless of their use as a source of ... -
Isolation and identification of potential antibiotic producing rare actinomycetes from Rhizospheric soils
Adegboye, Mobolaji Felicia; Babalola, Olubukola Oluranti (Kamla-Raj, 2016)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 id entify bioactive ... -
Mechanisms of action of plant growth promoting bacteria
Olanrewaju, Oluwaseyi Samuel; Glick, Bernard R.; Babalola, Olubukola Oluranti (SpringerSpringer, 2017)The idea of eliminating the use of fertilizers which are sometimes environmentally unsafe is slowly becoming a reality because of the emergence of microorganisms that can serve the same purpose or even do better. Depletion ... -
Microbial and plant-assisted bioremediation of heavy metal polluted environments: a review
Ojuederie, Omena Bernard; Babalola, Olubukola Oluranti (MDPI, 2017)Environmental pollution from hazardous waste materials, organic pollutants and heavy metals, has adversely affected the natural ecosystem to the detriment of man. These pollutants arise from anthropogenic sources as well ...
