    454 Pyrosequencing‑based assessment of bacterial diversity and community structure in termite guts, mounds and surrounding soils 

    Makonde, Huxley M.; Mwirichia, Romano; Osiemo, Zipporah; Boga, Hamadi I.; Klenk, Hans‑Peter (2015-09)
    Termites constitute part of diverse and economically important termite fauna in Africa, but information on gut microbiota and their associated soil microbiome is still inadequate. In this study, we assessed and compared ...

    Isolation, characterization and identification of Diazinon degrading bacteria from the soil and gut of macrotermes 

    Ogot, Hellen A.; Boga, Hamadi I.; Budambula, Nancy; Tsanuo, Muniru; Andika, Darius O. (2013)
    Diazinon degrading bacteria were isolated from the soil and gut of fungus cultivating termites Macrotermes michaelseni using MM7 media supplemented with pesticide as the sole source of carbon and energy. The isolates were ...

    Isolation and characterization of actinobacteria from Lake Magadi, Kenya 

    Budambula, N. L. M.; Ronoh, Regina C.; Mwirichia, Romano K.; Boga, Hamadi I. (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 ...

    Characterization of various Bacillus thuringiensis strains having larvicidal activity on Chilo partellus first-instar larvae, after culture on cost-effective medium, in Kenya 

    Anyika, D.; Boga, Hamadi I.; Mwirichia, Romano K. (2011)
    Bacillus thuringiensis strains are widely used in many larvicidal pest control programs. However, the large-scale production of these biolarvicides is very expensive due to the high cost of the production synthetic medium. ...

    Isolation and characterization of actinobacteria from Lake Magadi, Kenya 

    Ronoh, Regina C.; Budambula, Nancy; Mwirichia, Romano K.; Boga, Hamadi I. (Academic Journals, 2013-08-09)
    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 ...

    Bacterial Diversity in the Haloalkaline Lake Elmenteita 

    Mwirichia, Romano K.; Cousin, S.; Muigai, A.W.; Boga, Hamadi I.; Stackebrandt, Erko (Springer-Verlag, 2010-06)
    Lake Elmenteita is one of the alkaline saline lakes within the Kenyan Rift valley. The lake is situated on the floor of the Kenyan Rift Valley at 1,776 m above sea level and has no direct outlet. The microbial diversity ...

    Isolation and characterisation of bacteria from the haloalkaline Lake Elmenteita, Kenya 

    Mwirichia, Romano K.; Muigai, A.W.; Tindall, B.; Boga, Hamadi I.; Stackebrandt, E. (Springer, 2010-04)
    Culture-independent studies show that soda lake environments harbour diverse groups of bacteria and archaea. In this study different enrichment and isolation media were used in an attempt to isolate novel groups of bacteria ...

    Isolation and characterization of bacteria isolates from soil feeding termites and soil from Juja and Kakamega forest in Kenya 

    Ntabo, R.; Boga, Hamadi I.; Muigai, A.; Mwirichia, R. (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 ...

    Archaeal Diversity in the Haloalkaline Lake Elmenteita in Kenya 

    Mwirichia, Romano K.; Cousin, Sylvie; Muigai, Ann W.; Boga, Hamadi I.; Stackebrandt, Erko (Springer-Verlag, 2009-10-06)
    A non-culture approach was used to study the archaeal diversity in Lake Elmenteita, Kenya. Five different sampling points were selected randomly within the lake. Wet sediments and water samples were collected from each ...

    Development of cost-effective media for the culture of Chilo partellus larvicide in Kenya 

    Anyika, D.; Boga, Hamadi I.; Mwirichia, Romano K. (Academic Journals, 2013-03)
    Stem borers (Chilo partellus) are important field insect pests of maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) in Africa. They account for more than 30% yield losses depending on the composition of the pest community. ...
