Studies on two species of Pleurotus (P. ostreatus and P. eryngii) fruiting potentials within the dry and rainy seasons were carried out in the Department of Plant Science and Biotechnology, Rivers State University. Both species (P. ostreatus; P1 and P. eryngii; P2) were grown on hard wood (HW) and soft wood (SW) sawdusts from Mitragyna tree and Xylopia tree at 600g during the dry (D) and rainy (R) seasons. The sawdusts were supplemented with 100g of rice bran and 1g of Rhizophora wood ash. Eight treatments were established based on the interactions of the species to the substrates and seasons viz: P1SWR, P1HWR, P2SWR, P2HWR, P1SWD, P1HWD, P2SWD and P2HWD. Fruiting potential was assessed based on the mean harvest weight and was done for five weeks. P1HWD recorded highest mean weight (33.11g) during the dry season while P1HWR had highest mean weight (33.54g) for week1 harvest. P2 recorded no harvest at the first week. Highest mean weight of 21.72g and 24.61g were observed for P2SWD and P1SWR respectively for the second week of harvest. Week 3 harvest revealed P1SWD and P2SWR with the highest mean weights (14.05g and 23.07g) respectively. Within the fourth week of harvest, P2SWD (5.34g) and P2HWR (17.36g) recorded highest mean weights compared to other treatments. At the fifth week of harvest, highest mean values (10.67g and 17.04g) were seen for P2SWD and P2HWR respectively. Generally, P1 had more fruiting potential than P2 as its treatments fruited in all the weeks of harvest. Soft wood sawdust during the rainy season favoured higher yield than hardwood sawdust during the dry season.

Ginger plant has a perennial, tuberous root or rhizome. The rhizome which is the horizontal stem from which the roots grow, is the main portion of ginger that is consumed as a spice in dried, preserved and green forms. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of methanolic extract of ginger on gastric pH and post-prandial serum bicarbonate in wistar rats. A total of 20 male rats weighing 180 to 250g were divided into four groups of 5 rats each; Group I served as control, Group II received 100mg/kg methanolic ginger extract, Group III received omeprazole (20mg/kg) and Group IV received a combination of omeprazole and methanolic ginger extract. After 45 minutes of administration of the extract, the pH of the gastric effluent increased significantly whereas the post-prandial serum bicarbonate concentration decreased significantly compared to control (p<0.05). Although Omeprazole caused marked reduction in gastric pH, coadministering with methanolic ginger extract prevented excessive reduction in gastric pH that occurred with the drug alone. In the determination of serum post-prandial bicarbonate level, the methanolic ginger extract group showed levels significantly lower than the control group while the Omeprazole and co-administration groups were significantly lower in comparison with extract group. Hence, the study concluded that methanolic ginger extract alone neutralized gastric acid secreted while in combination with Omeprazole, it acted as a buffer to stabilize the gastric pH.

Wastewaters generated from the cooking of foods contain nutrients. Such wastewaters may have the potential to be used as nutrients in bioremediation of hydrocarbon polluted environments. In this study, use of wastewaters generated from the cooking of two legumes as nutrient source during bioremediation of hydrocarbon polluted soil was investigated. Crudeoil polluted soils were treated with wastewater from cooking of cowpea (setup B), wastewater from cooking of groundnut-pods (setup G), a mixture of the wastewaters (setup B+G), and tap-water (control setup: setup C). Selected microbial group and physicochemical parameters were determined at seven days interval. The results obtained showed that the extent of hydrocarbon degradation in setup B, G, B+G, and C were 45.5, 23.2, 1.3, and 37.9 % respectively. There was decrease in total organic carbon (TOC), phosphorus, and nitrogen in the setups. However, in setup G there was increase in TOC. Setup C and B had the highest decrease in phosphorus, and setup B had the highest decrease in nitrogen. There was decrease and subsequent increase in percent hydrocarbon-utilizing bacteria in all the setups; the subsequent increase was highest in setup B. There was generally a decrease in percent hydrocarbon-utilizing fungi, except in setup C. The hydrocarbon utilizing microorganisms isolated from the treated soils include Bacillus, Micrococcus, Acinetobacter, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Penicillium, Aspergillus, Candida and Fusarium. Their presence indicates that hydrocarbon degradation was due to biodegradation. It is concluded that wastewater from cooking of cowpeas can be applied in bioremediation of crude-oil polluted soil.

Commercially available medium for selective isolation of Pseudomonas are relatively expensive. Incorporation of chloramphenicol into nutrient agarhas been used in the selective isolation of Pseudomonasfluorescens. Theaim of this study was to apply optimization in modification of nutrient-chloramphenicol agar medium (NCAM) so as to optimize it for selective isolation of Pseudomonas species. Water sample determined to contain fluorescent greenish-pigment producing bacteria (FGPB) was used for the optimization study. Medium component selected for the optimization process were pH, NaCl concentration (NC), and chloramphenicol concentration (CC), with value ranges of 7.0 – 8.2, 0.5 – 1.0 %, and 40 – 60 ?g/ml, respectively. Fifteen media variations were derived from combination of these ranges using Box-Behnken design matrix,and were used in culturing the water sample for isolation of FGPB. Relationship between obtained proportions of bacterial populations that are FGPB and chosen media components were calculated using polynomial equation for three factors design. Prediction profiles derived from the equation showed that the highest proportion of bacterial populations that are FGPB was achievable at pH, NC, and CC combination values of 7.0, 0.2 %, and 60 ?g/ml, respectively. NCAM with this optimized combination increased the efficiency of selectively isolating FGPB from the water samplefrom 0.008 to 0.011 %. Physicochemical/biochemical testing showed that the FGPBisolates were Pseudomonas fluorescens. It is concluded that NCAM with pH 7.0, NaCl concentration of 0.2 %, and chloramphenicol concentration of 60 ?g/ml can be used for selective isolation of Pseudomonas fluorescens with optimum efficiency.
