Actinomycetes are threadlike or filamentous, Gram positive bacteria that form branching filaments with hyphae and asexual spores. The hyphae are usually septate or coenocytic in nature. The aim of this study was to investigate the microbial ecological distribution of marine actinomycetes isolated from the Lagos Atlantic Ocean, South West Nigeria. Marine (soil and water) samples were collected from about 10 m deep from Lagos Lagoon and Atlantic Ocean. Starch Casein agar was prepared aseptically.

Pollution by benzoate and phenol is currently a major global ecological challenge. Hence, utilization of benzoate and phenol by Bacillus pumilus in saline and non-saline cultures were tested in this work.

The use of egg diets and fish meal as a starter diets for Clarias gariepinus fry after endogenous feeding was investigated for 42 days. The experiment was designed to determine the effects of egg diets on growth performance of C. gariepinus. The experimental diets were assigned into three treatments and control.

ABSTRACT: This research work determines the levels of amino acids in Cnidoscolus aconitifolius as influenced by graded levels of Craseonycteris thonglongyai dung. The effect of applied C.

ABSTRACT: Antioxidant enzyme activity of groundnut leaves planted in crude oil contaminated soil was evaluated. 1.5 kg of soil each was placed in black polythene bags. They were divided into four groups (A-D) of five bags each. Each group was treated with different concentrations of crude oil (0 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml and 15 ml per 1.5 kg soil respectively). five seeds of Arachis hypogaea were planted in each bag.

ABSTRACT: Sustainable and stable production of fish larvae requires diet that will enhance efficient nutrient utilization and growth performance.

 Pollution by benzoate and phenol is currently a major global ecological challenge. Hence, utilization of benzoate and phenol by Bacillus pumilus in saline and non-saline cultures were tested in this work.
