Enhancing Sugar Production from Obeche (Triplochiton scleroxylon K. Schum.) Sawdust by Synergistic Action of Gloeophyllum sepiarium and Aspergillus niger

Daniel O. Igun & Bernard O. EJECHI · Biotechnology Journal International · 2026

The study aimed to enhance sugar production in Obeche sawdust by the brown-rot Gloeophyllum sepiarium through elimination of the bottleneck caused by cellobiose product feedback inhibition. The study was designed to use Aspergillus niger to produce supplementary β-glucosidase to...

Open access Research Article 10.9734/bji/2026/v30i5909

Resistance and Removal of Chromium (Cr) and Cadmium (Cd) by Bacillus cereus and Aspergillus niger Isolated from Polytrichum commune Rhizosphere

Augustina O. Jewo, Bernard O. EJECHI & Olubunmi O. AKPOMIE · Journal of Advances in Microbiology · 2026

Bryophytes indicate the presence of metals in the environment because of their biosorption capacity. It is therefore, hypothesized that microbial communities in bryophyte rhizosphere can be highly metal-resistant; and this was tested using Bacillus cereus and Aspergillus niger is...

Shelf-life Extension of Nigerian Traditional Bean (Vigna unguiculata) Pudding (Moinmoin) by HACCP-guided Interventions in the Preparation Process

Queen M. ISRAEL, Bernard O. EJECHI & Okiemute E. IDISE · Journal of Advances in Microbiology · 2026

Background: Moinmoin is an inexpensive popular Nigerian traditional break-fast bean-pudding, which deteriorates within 24 hours of preparation due to microbial activities. The popularity is an impetus for seeking ways of extending the shelf-life. Aim: The potential of extending m...

Qualitative Assessment of Growth Utilization of Crude Oil by Genetically Modified Non-Crude Oil-Degrading Refinery Effluent Indigenous Bacteria

Vivian I. CHUKUKA, Bernard O. EJECHI & Olubunmi O. AKPOMIE · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2025

Genetically modified non-hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria indigenous to refinery effluent were investigated for potential utilization of crude for growth. Bacteria were isolated from refinery effluent and screened for hydrocarbon growth utilization potentials using Bushnell-Haas me...
