Microbial control of spoilage microorganisms of garden egg (Solanum Macrocapon) Department:Microbiology By: Ayodeji1224 Project ID: 8348 Rating: (5.0) votes: 1 Price:₦5000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractGarden egg fruit is also an important nutritive plant but a very perishable vegetable with a short shelf-life. It is susceptible to bacterial diseases and if the fruit touches the ground, it will cause an infection. The aim of this study is to determine the characterization of bacteria and fungi associated with garden egg. The result shows the Morphological count for 0 days. 228 Sfu– 492Sfu was observed in the garden egg sample grown on potato dextrose agar. While 26 cfu– 228 cfu was observed in the garden egg sample grown on nutrient agar. The result also shows the Morphological count for day 7. 96 Sfu– 80 Sfu were observed in a garden egg sample grown in potato dextrose agar. Meanwhile, 96 cfu– 64 cfu were observed in the garden egg sample grown on nutrient agar. The morphological feature of the garden egg sample showed diversities in colonial formation. The microbial isolates from the freshly harvested garden egg were Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus Lichenformis, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquifaciens, Bacillus marcerans and Bacillus circulans using API characterization. The antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the organisms isolated from the garden egg samples obtained in Ikere metropolis showed that the Bacillus isolates were 100% resistant to all the antibiotics evaluated (Ceftazidime, Ceftriaxone, Cefuroxime, Ciprofloxacin, Ceporex, Cefuroxine, Azithromycin, Levofloxacin, Cinoxacin and Enoxacin). The present study showed that pathogenic bacteria of public concern are harbored and transmitted through garden eggs sold in the market and that the water sprinkled on the fruits to keep their freshness might be responsible for the multiplication of some bacteria during the long time of transporting them from the farm to the market....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 characterization of fungi associated with the spoilage of corn grown in farms in Rukpokwu community»Isolation and identification of bacterial aerosols bioaerosols dump sites in Yenagoa»Incidence of staphylococcus and salmonella species in Kunuaya retailed in Yenagoa
