Three (3) different species palm fruits were used in this study and they were Ojukwu, Dura and Pisifera. Ojukwu had the highest viable count (4.0 x 104 cfu/g to 4.8 x 104 cfu/g) followed by Pisifera (3.4 x 104 cfu/g to 3.0 x 104 cfu/g) and Dura (6.0 x 103 cfu/g to 7.2 x 10 3 cfu/g). The bacterial species obtained were Staphylococcus aureus, Bacilius spp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus spp and Serratia spp. The fungal species obtained were Aspergillus flavum, Candida spp and kluyveromuces spp. Ojukwu has the highest viable count. Though their microbial loads were not high, the organisms isolated can cause health problems in individuals who consumed the products without adequate heat processing....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
