Abstract

Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) is a group of beneficial bacteria that actively colonize the rhizosphere and play an important role in enhancing root growth that impacts on plant growth, yields and land fertility. PGPR is very much found in the area around plant roots or rhizosphere especially thorny bamboo rhizosphere (Bambusa blumeana). The number of microorganisms contained in PGPR spiked bamboo rhizosphere makes it difficult to know what types of bacteria are the most dominant and most active in influencing plant growth. One method that can be used to identify microorganisms is by biochemical testing processes using the 3% gram KOH test method and gram staining test. This study aims to determine the use of the 3% gram KOH test method and gram staining test in identifying Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria bacteria from thorny bamboo rhizosphere (Bambusa blumeana). This test is carried out at the Biofertilizer and Potential Microbial Laboratory, Ministry of Agriculture, Faculty of Agriculture, Hasanuddin University, Makassar and takes place from October to December 2019. The method of carrying out the test includes making the media nutrient agar (NA), pouring media, planting bacteria, identifying bacteria in 2 gram reaction methods, namely the gram reaction test using 3% KOH and using a simple coloring with methylen blue and lugol. The results obtained are the 3% gram KOH test method in testing the scratch method of all samples that have slime while the scatter method has 2 samples that have slime. Then the gram staining test method on staining with methylene blue and logol produces blue for the genus Pseudomonas which means gram positive and pink or purple for the genus Bacillus which means gram positive. So it can be concluded that the 3% KOH test method and gram staining test have optimum effect in detecting microorganisms.

Abstract

Rapeseed is highly vulnerable to attack by various insect pests. The use of botanicals for control of insect pests is an eco-friendly practice, more compatible with the environmental components, and non-hazardous to human beings. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different plant leaf extracts against Mustard aphid (Lipaphis erysimi Kalt.) from November 2016 to March 2017 at research field of Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science, Lamjung Campus, Lamjung, Nepal. Five different plant leaf extracts derived from Neem, Bakaino, Hattibar, Khirro, and Bojho, along with Cypermethrin 10% EC@ 1.5 ml/L of water; and control (without treatment) were evaluated against Mustard aphids. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Morang-2 variety of Rapeseed was planted in the field and the Rapeseed plant was sprayed with prepared plant leaf extracts on 30 days after sowing (DAS), 45 DAS and 60 DAS, and aphid number was counted after 5, 10 and 15 days of each spray from 10 cm apical shoot. The results showed that the application of Cypermethrin 10% EC @ @ 1.5 ml/L of water significantly reduced the aphid population followed by the Complete mixture and the mixture without Khirro. The highest grain yield (1436.75 kg/ha) was found in Complete mixture treated plots. It was concluded that all these plant leaf extracts showed insecticidal properties against aphid in rapeseed crops and successfully be integrated as a part of Integrated Pest Management.

Abstract

Heavy metal pollution has led to serious consequences since the dawn of industrialization. The aim of this study is to compare the speciation of heavy metals in bioaugmented and non-bioaugmented soils from Taman Beringin landfill, Malaysia. This is to allow the proper understanding of the specific forms of heavy metals and their mobility in the environment. Sequential extraction process based on Tessier et al. (1979), Tsang et al (2007) and standard ISO 11466 (1995) was performed for the determination of eight heavy metals (Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in soils samples. The results revealed that the percentage reduction of the mobile and non mobile forms (F1, F2, F3, F4 and F5) of heavy metals varied for all metals in non- bioaugmented and bioaugmented soils. Additionally, the distribution of the specific form of the metals ( for Mn, Co, Ni, Cu and Pb) changed after bioaugmentation at Day 100.

Abstract

Organophosphate pesticides exert neurotoxicity by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in animals. Early-life exposure to agrochemicals affects growth performance and survival of non-target aquatic resources. In this study, lethal and growth responses of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings exposed to Dichlorvos (2, 2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate or DDVP), commonly known as ‘Sniper’ or ‘Ota-piapia’ in Nigeria were evaluated. The acute toxicity test shows that the mortality recorded after every 24 hours was concentration-dependent. The median lethal concentration (LC50) of DDVP on C. gariepinus fingerlings at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours post-exposure (hpe) were 3.30 mg/L (3.197 to 3.441; R2 = 0.964), 2.30 mg/L (1.844 to 2.518; R2 = 0.866), 2.27 mg/L (2.117 to 2.373; R2 = 0.959) and 1.88 mg/L (0.7704 to 2.211; R2 = 0.74), respectively. After a feeding trial experiment on post-exposed fingerlings, there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between the feed intake of the control and DDVP exposed groups. Except for protein intake, significant differences (p < 0.05) were found in the growth and nutrient utilization parameters. The findings of this study reveal that C. gariepinus fingerlings could recover after acute exposure to Dichlorvos at different concentrations.

Abstract

In Nigeria, the reliance on sanitary landfills is a common phenomenon in the disposal of waste materials. The aim of the study was to ascertain the physicochemical and microbiological effect landfill has on its surrounding soil and water. Four water samples and five soil samples were collected each from Ile-Epo and Legacy dumpsites and the adjoining areas. Physicochemical parameters determined were temperature, pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH), and electrical conductivity. Most of these parameters indicated pollution but were below the World Health Organization (WHO) limits for consumption in the water. Microbiological analysis was carried out using standard microbiological procedures. The mean bacteria count and fungal count for water and soil samples are 26.41 CFU/mL and 10.00 CFU/mL; and 26.30 and 14.50 (CFU/G) respectively. The antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the bacterial isolates against conventional antibiotics displayed varying degree of susceptibility and resistance; the bacterial contaminants were susceptible to Augmentin, Gentamycin and Chloramphenicol and resistant to Pefloxacin, Amoxacilin, Tarivid, Streptomycin, Sparfloxacin and Ciprofloxacin. The results obtained in this study showed that the leachate generated from the landfill site has a minimal impact on the groundwater and soil quality in the locality.

Abstract

Bacteria can interact with each or other microorganisms by releasing, sensing, and reacting to small diffusible chemical signal molecules to alter their community behavior. This process, termed quorum sensing, is influenced by density of other bacteria that present in the environment. One example as a result of this process is the formation of biofilm. Biofilm consists of bacterial communities that attach to a surface and envelope themselves in secreted polymers. This formation can be beneficial to pathogenic bacteria because they become highly resistant to antibiotics and human immunity. Thus, antibiofilm agents that can inhibit biofilm formation are needed. The objective of this study were to screen and evaluate bacteria from hot spring and crater lakes that have antibiofilm activity against pathogenic bacteria. In this study, 26 isolates were successfully obtained and tested for quorum sensing and quorum quenching activities. Based on the result, two isolates, which were KM16 and PAP26, were found to have quorum quenching activity. Further research showed that KM16 and PAP26 had antibiofilm activity against more than six pathogenic bacteria. From characterization of the bioactive compounds, it is known that different compound from KM16 and PAP26 have different activity against each pathogen. In molecular identification, isolates KM16 and PAP26 were identified as Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas sp. through molecular identification.
