ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BACTERIA ASSOCIATED WITH HAWKED SUYA- MEAT

Abstract This project work was carried on the isolation and characterization of pathogenic bacteria from hawked suya meat. Suya meat were bought from the sellers and was collected in raps of aluminum foil. It was then taken to the laboratory for analysis. The sample was homogenized then pipette using 5ml sterile pipette and test tube. The dilution were then cultured on different media, MacConkey agar, Nutrient agar and blood agar ...

CHARACTERIZATION, INSECTICIDAL AND MOSQUITO REPELLENCY PROPERTIES OF ESSENTIAL OILS FROM HYPTIS SUAVEOLENS LEAVES

ABSTRACT Essential oils were extracted from the leaves of Hyptis suaveolens by hydro-distillation, Mosquitocidal effect was done through an experiment devised for the purpose of this research. The effect of the essential oils against mosquito larvae (larvicidal), mosquito repellency effect and physicochemical properties were determined using standard methods. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) were both done on the essential oils. Percentage yield of the essential oils was gotten ...
