The microbial concentration of air around the dump site was measured using the"passive method" that involved exposing sterile Petri dishes containing nutrient agar to the air for about fifteen minutes. The exposures were carried out once a week for three weeks at some locations which include Active dumpsite, Abandoned dumpsite, and Control point where people live which is about 200m away from the dumpsite. The result from this research shows that the mean total bacterial counts obtained from the active dumpsite, the dormant dumpsite and the residential area (control point) close to the dumpsites were relatively high with mean values., Active dumpsite (1.0x104 CFU/m3), Abandoned dumpsite (1.5x103 CFU/ m3), Control (8.9x102 CFU/ m3) respectively, with the active dumpsites higher than the Abandoned dumpsite and control point. The microorganisms isolated and identified in the air around the study locations include Bacillus spp, Escherichia coli, staphylococcus spp, Enterococcus spp, Klebsiella spp, Streptococcus spp, Salmonella spp and Serratia spp (Table 3 below).The bacterial distribution in the air around the study locations showed, 12.75% Bacillus spp, 27.26% Escherichia coli, 13.92% staphylococcus spp, 11.29% Enterococcus spp, 10.29% Klebsiella spp, 9.25% streptococcus, 11.36% salmonella spp and 3.78% Serratia spp. Escherichia coli had the highest frequency, this was followed by staphylococcus spp., Bacillus spp was next in the frequency of occurrence, followed by Salmonella spp, streptococcus spp. Enterococcus spp, Klebsiella spp, and Serratia spp having the least frequency of occurrence ...Preview Download Preview +Other Microbiology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Isolation and identification of microbes associated with spoilage bread»Bacterial analysis of urine polluted environment in federal polytechnic Nekede, Owerri»Microbiological quality of palm kernel fruits»Microbiological evaluation of home made grape juice»Therapeutic potential of Moringa Oleifera leaves»Antibacterial activity of honey on staphylococcus aureusescherichia coli and streptococcus pyogen isolated from wound»Phytochemical screening and antimicrobial assessment of Spondias Mombin (Ijikara)»Bacteriological monitoring of abattoirs in Ehime Mbano in Imo state»Biodeterioration of natural and artifical stone»Proximate, selected vitamins, and minerals analysis of Moringa Oleifera»The effect of crude avocado and pawpaw leaves extract on kidney function of guinea pigs»Microbial examination of raw meat obtained at main abattoir, Offa»Isolation and identification of bacterial aerosols bioaerosols dump sites in Yenagoa»Isolation and characterization of fungi associated with the spoilage of corn grown in farms in Rukpokwu community»Incidence of staphylococcus and salmonella species in Kunuaya retailed in Yenagoa
