An approach to understanding toxicity induction by filamentous fungi on human cell lines
Egbuta, Mary Augustina (North-West University (South Africa), Mafikeng Campus, 2015)Filamentous fungi occur widely in different parts of the environment including water, soil and air. Their occurrence in the environment especially in large amounts and under certain conditions pose dangerous health risks ... -
Biofertilizers and sustainable agriculture: exploring arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
Babalola, Olubukola O.; Igiehon, Nicholas O. (SpringerSpringer, 2017)Worldwide agricultural food production has to double in 2050 so as to feed the global increasing population while reducing dependency on conventional chemical fertilizers plus pesticides. To accomplish this objective, there ... -
Effect of various carbon source, temperature and pH on nitrate reduction efficiency in mineral salt medium enriched with Bacillus weinstephnisis (DS45)
Seenivasagan, R.; Kasimani, R.; Babalola, Olubukola O.; Karthika, A.; Rajakumar, S.; Ayyasamy, P.M. (Elsevier, 2017)The potential bacterial isolates which reduces nitrate using mineral salt medium (MSM) was studied through a batch mode process. Specific nitrate reducing bacteria were isolated from Dharmapuri district (Tamilnadu, India) ... -
Genomic exploration of Bacillus thuringiensis MORWBS1.1 - candidate biocontrol agent,predicts genes for biosynthesis of zwittermicin, 4,5-DOPA dioxygenase extradiol, and quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase
Adeniji, Adetomiwa A.; Ayangbenro, Ayansina S.; Babalola, Olubukola O. (American Phytopathological Society, 2021)Many strains fromBacillus thuringiensisare known for theirgenomic robustness and antimicrobial potentials. As a result, thequest for their biotechnological applications, especially in theagroindustry (e.g., as biopesticides), ... -
Identification and characterization of a FAD-dependent putrescine N-hydroxylase (GorA) from Gordonia rubripertincta CWB2
Esuola, Catherine O.; Babalola, Olubukola O.; Heine, Thomas; Schwabe, Ringo; Schlömann, Micheal; Tischler, Dirk (Elsevier, 2016)A putrescine N-hydroxylase from Gordonia rubripertincta CWB2 (GorA), a microbial N-hydroxylating monooxygenase (NMO), specific for a range of diamines (putrescine > cadaverine > hexamethylenediamine) was identified. This ... -
Isolation of bacterial strains for improved maize production
Olanrewaju, Oluwaseyi Samuel (North-West University (South Africa), 2016)BACKGROUND-The ever increasing world population has led to a continued demand for food. If the increase and sustenance of available food crops are not taken seriously, then there might be a crisis of food shortage to sustain ... -
Microbial phosphorus solubilization and Its potential for use in sustainable agriculture
Alori, Elizabeth T.; Glick, Bernard R.; Babalola, Olubukola O. (Frontiers Media, 2017)The use of excess conventional Phosphorus (P) fertilizers to improve agricultural productivity, in order to meet constantly increasing global food demand, potentially causes surface and ground water pollution, waterway ... -
RAPD profiling of Bacillus spp with PGPR potential and their effects on mineral composition of tomatoes
Ajilogba, Caroline F.; Babalola, Olubukola O. (Kamla-Raj, 2016)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 ...
