(Hindawi, 2015-12)In the search for alternatives to sawdust as growing media in commercialmushroomcultivation, three organic substrates obtainable as crop residue, maize husk, maize cob, and maize stalk, with each being supplemented with ... -
A Comparative Evaluation of the Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Composted Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia L.) with Pine Bark Growing Media in Tobacco (Nicotiana tabucum L.) Seedling Production
(Hindawi, 2016-02)The search for suitable organic growingmedia substitutes for pine bark basedmedia combinations has been prompted by concerns over high costs and lack of availability to smallholder farmers coupled with increasing demand ... -
Comparative gene expression analysis in stems of Dolichos purpureus and Arabidopsis thaliana
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2012-01)The outermost layer epidermis of a plant stem plays an important role in protection and environment-sensing. The mechanisms of sensing and response to the environment through the stem epidermis remain unclear. Here we ... -
Comparative growth and survival performance of sea cucumber (Holothuria scabra) in co-cultured pen system with commercial macroalgae
(African Journal of Biological Sciences, 2019-10-01)Mariculture has recently been adopted in many parts of coastal East Africa as a source of income and employment to many women and heartbroken fishermen who are the main victim of dwindling wild stock of aquatic resources. ... -
Comparative in vivo antiplasmodial activities of different extracts of Lawsonia inermis, Tithonia diversifolia and Nauclea latifolia against Plasmodium berghei
(African Journal of Biological Sciences, 2020-01-01)Traditional herbal medicines are potentially rich sources of new drugs against malaria and other infectious diseases. However, phytochemicals extracted from a medicinal plant is strongly dependent on the nature of the ... -
Comparative Study on Heavy Metals Biosorption by Different Types of Bacteria
(Scientific Research, 2013-07)Biosorption of Cd(II), Ag(I) and Au(III) by cyanobacteria Spirulina platensis, of Au(II)—by Streptomyces spp. 19H, and of Cr(VI) and Cr(III)—by Arthrobacter species was studied by using the dialysis and atomic absorption ... -
Comparative study on some selected species of Ocimum genus on free radical scavenging activity and hepatoprotective activity against CCl4 induced intoxication in rats
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-10)In this study, we compared the in vitro antioxidant property among the selected Ocimum species (O. sanctum, O. americanum, O. basilicum and O. gratissimum) and hepatoprotective activities of their extracts against CCl4 ... -
A Comparative Study on the Physicochemical Parameters of Milk of Camel, Cow and Goat in Somali Regional State, Ethiopia
