Isolation and characterization of bacillus species from soil in Ngere tea catchment area of Murang’a county, Kenya
(2014-07)Bacteria are a very diverse group of organisms in soil, and major taxonomic groups are represented in most soils. The extent of the diversity of microorganisms in soil is seen to be critical to the maintenance of soil ... -
Isolation and Characterization of Bacteria from Lakes Olbolosat and Oloiden, Kenya
(Academic journals, 2020)There is still unexplored reservoir of microorganisms from sediments and water within Lakes Olbolosat and Oloiden using culture dependent technique. The current study compares bacterial diversity within Lake Olbolosat a ... -
Isolation and characterization of bacteria isolates from soil feeding termites and soil from Juja and Kakamega forest in Kenya
(2010)In the last several years information on the gut ecosystem of termites has continued to be gathered. Most studies have been focused on wood feeding termites but studies on soil feeders remain sparse owing to their difficulty ... -
Isolation and Characterization of Bacterial Coliforms in Yoghurt Produced at The University of Embu Dairy Farm
