Phylogenetic and morphological diversity of culturable cyanobacteria from Lake Magadi in Kenya
(2019-10)
Lake Magadi is an alkaline saline Lake in Kenya, which lies on the Great Eastern
Rift valley. Although the lake is characterized by extremes of salt, pH and
temperature, it supports diverse groups of cyanobacteria. In ...
Influence of Lysinibacillus sphaericus on compressive strength and water sorptivity in microbial cement mortar
(Elsevier, 2019-11)
Cement structures are subject to degradation either by aggressive media or development of micro/macro cracks
which create external substance ingress pathways. Microbiocementation can be employed as a self-intelligent
solution ...
Isolation and characterization of actinobacteria from Lake Magadi, Kenya
(2013-05-29)
Actinobacteria are ubiquitous and have been detected in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Although, various studies have focused on the ecology of this phylum, data on the ecology of actinobacteria endemic to soda lakes ...
Bacteria and Archaea diversity within the hot springs of Lake Magadi and Little Magadi in Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2016-06)
Background: Lake Magadi and little Magadi are hypersaline, alkaline lakes situated in the southern part of Kenyan
Rift Valley. Solutes are supplied mainly by a series of alkaline hot springs with temperatures as high as ...
Diversity and structure of prokaryotic communities within organic and conventional farming systems in central highlands of Kenya
(PLOS, 2020-08)
Management practices such as tillage, crop rotation, irrigation, organic and inorganic inputs
application are known to influence diversity and function of soil microbial populations. In this
study, we investigated the ...
Amplicon-based assessment of bacterial diversity and community structure in three tropical forest soils in Kenya
(Heliyon, 2022-11)
Forest soils provide a multitude of habitats for diverse communities of bacteria. In this study, we selected three
tropical forests in Kenya to determine the diversity and community structure of soil bacteria inhabiting ...
