    Evaluation of prokaryotic diversity of five hot springs in Eritrea 

    Ghilamicael, Amanuel M.; Budambula, Nancy; Anami, Sylvester E.; Mehari, Tadesse; Boga, Hamadi I. (BioMed Central, 2017-09)
    Background: Total community rDNA was used to determine the diversity of bacteria and archaea from water, wet sediment and microbial mats samples of hot springs in the Eastern lowlands of Eritrea. The temperatures of ...

    Isolation and characterization of some gut microbial symbionts from fungus-cultivating termites (Macrotermes and Odontotermes spp.) 

    Budambula, Nancy; Muwawa, Edith M.; Osiemo, Zipporah L.; Boga, Hamadi I.; Makonde, Huxley M. (2016-07)
    Microbiota of termites is crucial for nitrogen cycle activities and degradation of recalcitrant components of plant biomass that influence soil structure and carbon mineralization in tropical and subtropical regions. The ...

    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 ...

    Diversity of Termitomyces Associated with Fungus- Farming Termites Assessed by Cultural and Culture- Independent Methods 

    Makonde, H.M.; Boga, Hamadi I.; Osiemo, Z.; Mwirichia, Romano K.; Stielow, J.B.; Go¨ ker, Markus; et al. (2013)
    Background: Fungus-cultivating termites make use of an obligate mutualism with fungi from the genus Termitomyces, which are acquired through either vertical transmission via reproductive alates or horizontally transmitted ...

    16S-rRNA-based analysis of bacterial diversity in the gut of fungus-cultivating termites (Microtermes and Odontotermes species) 

    Makonde, Huxley M.; Boga, Hamadi I.; Mwirichia, Romano K.; Mackenzie, Lucy; Göker, Markus; Klenk, Hans-Peter (Springer Netherlands, 2013-08-14)
    The interaction between termites and their gut symbionts has continued to attract the curiosity of researchers over time. The aim of this study was to characterize and compare the bacterial diversity and community structure ...

    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 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 ...
