The total number of pathogenic organisms present in 120 sponges was determined using the nutritional agar (NA), MacConkey agar (MAC), Mannitol-Salt agar (MSA), Eosin-Methylene Blue agar (EMB), and Salmonella-Shigella agar (SSA) techniques. The efficacy of various disinfectants was evaluated using bleach, sanitizer, liquid soap, and boiled water for 30 minutes, while the remaining one served as a control sample. The result showed that household sponges had the lowest bacteria load across the five media with a mean bacteria count of 6.98 log CFU/g, followed by restaurant sponges with a mean count of 7.31 log CFU/g, and the highest bacteria load of 7.43 log CFU/g was obtained from hostel sponges. E. coli (40%), Klebsiella sp. (20%), Shigella sp. (15%), Staphylococcus sp. (20%), and Salmonella sp. (5) were the bacteria isolated and identified, whereas Aspergillus niger (65.6%) Penicillium oxalicum (9.4%), and Candida albicans (25%) were the fungi responsible for the contamination. Tarivid 25%, Reflacine 50%, Ciproflox 0%, Augmentin 50%, Gentamycin 0%, Streptomycin 0%, Ceporex 50%, Nalidixic acid 75%, Septrin 25%, and Amplicin 75% are the antibiotic resistant strains that have been identified. Griseofluvin eliminates both fungi at all concentrations that have been tested. Dishwashing sponges can be extremely contaminated, especially those used in the hostels on the University of Port Harcourt's Abuja campus. However, by applying basic and routine disinfection processes, the microbial contamination can be greatly reduced.","PeriodicalId":8477,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Cell Biology","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76419865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected on soil properties, growth and biomass yields of thickhead and chemical, proximate and bioactive components of leaves. Results showed that soil type and amendment significantly affected growth, yield and bioactive components of thickhead. Growth of thickhead improved significantly for soil collected under fallow vegetation (S1) while application of NPK and poultry manure combination at 0.375g + 12.5g per plant significantly enhanced most of the measured variables of thickhead. Fertilizer amendment of soils enhanced leaf sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium contents, poultry manure amendment improved moisture content and crude protein, while NPK increased significantly leaf ash and fat contents. Post-cropping chemical analysis of treated soils showed increases in pH, organic carbon, nitrogen, organic matter, available P, K, Na, Ca, and Mg of fertilizer-amended soils compare with the unamended. Thickhead (ebolo) can be grown both on fertile and degraded soils, soil amendment using NPK-poultry manure combinations enhanced the growth, yield and nutrition of thickhead and is recommended for its production.","PeriodicalId":8477,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Cell Biology","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78945143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a mixture of antifungals, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory. The problem of this research was to verify the effects of this mixture as to its effectiveness on superficial mycoses. Thus, we set ourselves the following objectives: to identify the antifungals in the pharmacies of the cities of Likasi, Lubumbashi and Kolwezi, to determine their composition and to discuss this composition with the existing literature. \u0000Through a cross-sectional study, we identified thirty-four different antifungals in 588 pharmacies, of which 16 or 47.05% are triple action and made up of Azoles as antifungal, the antibiotic gentamicin, and corticosteroids as anti-inflammatory, alongside polyene, Echinocandins and flucytosine. It is the combination of antifungals with conventional non-antifungal agents reoriented for their action on the growth of fungi. They consist of antibacterial drugs and steroidal anti-inflammatories. This reorientation was supposed to have excellent antifungal activity and could prevent resistance. However, the presence of the antibiotic will reduce the composition of the colonizing microbiota and promote fungal growth and enhance fungal pathogenicity indirectly and the corticosteroid component may interfere with the therapeutic actions of the antifungal agent and may accelerate fungal growth, due to a decrease in the host's local immunological reaction, so that the underlying infection may persist, and the dermatophytes may even acquire the ability to invade the deeper tissues. So, in support, it would be interesting to favor antifungals without combinations than those combining antibiotics and anti-inflammatory which has an extremely high rate of recurrence.","PeriodicalId":8477,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Cell Biology","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81357080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The significant appearance of endophytic microorganisms, such as bacteria in cocoa almonds, can benefit its production commonly with fermentative bacteria. The aim of the study was to characterize the microbiota of cocoa beans during the fermentation process. The isolation of bacteria was performed from the collected samples; one of the applied procedures was the scraping of the dried and fermented cocoa almonds. Afterward, aliquots were subcultured in a Petri dish with a culture medium containing Blood agar and MacConkey agar to verify bacteria. Cultures were analyzed by counting colony-forming units (CFU/mL). Molecular analyses and sequencing were utilized to describe the microbial diversity. DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analyzes were performed to emphasize microbial morphology characterization. Gram-negative bacilli (Enterobacter spp. and Citrobacter spp.) and Gram-positive bacilli (Bacillus spp.) were found in cocoa beans after 72 h of fermentation. This work contributed to the characterization of endophytic bacteria in cocoa seeds, enabling in-depth studies of in vitro verification of the potential for biocontrol of these endophytic bacteria in cocoa cultivation.","PeriodicalId":8477,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Cell Biology","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81738347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novelty of this study lies in the maturity phase of the simplicia or fruit used, namely ripe, half-riped and unripe palm fruit and the type of pathogenic bacteria that was inhibited, namely Propionibacterium acnes which was carried out in vitro. The purpose of this study was to determine whether palm fruit has antimicrobial activity against Propionibacterium acnes and the ripening phase of the fruit has the highest antimicrobial activity. The research method used is laboratory experimental research. Antibacterial activity test of palm fruit against bacteria was carried out in vitro using the disc method with an activity indicator in the form of the diameter of the inhibition zone. Fresh palm fruit (Veitichia merillii) juice has antibacterial activity against the acne-causing bacteria Propionibacterium acnes, but has a different level of inhibition when viewed from the level of maturity. The highest antibacterial activity based on research results was observed at the ripeness level (yellow/orange color) which was indicated by the width of the inhibition zone of 23.9 mm.","PeriodicalId":8477,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Cell Biology","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88672688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The general mangroves found at every station are Rhizopora apiculata dan Rhizopora mucronata. Rhizopora apiculata grows in muddy, soft, deep, and waterlogged soil. Rhizopora apiculata does not like growing on harder substrates mixed with sand. The dominance rate can reach 90% of the vegetation growing in a location. Rhizopora mucronata grows in the same area as Rhizopora apiculata but more tolerant to hard substrates and sand. Mangrove forests on Roswar Island are still in good condition and extensive, the diversity of the mangrove plant species is relatively high and its natural regeneration is going well.
