    Abstract: This study was carried out to evaluate the contamination severity of Lake Togo by organochlorinated pesticides historically used in agriculture and in health programs against disease vectors in public health. A total of 48 samples of sediments and 48 samples of water were seasonally collected. For both sediment and water 3 samples per site were col... Show More

    Abstract: This study aimed to determine the bacterial tolerance to chromium (Cr6+) in three growth media, such as nutrient broth, Luria Bertani (LB) broth and mineral salt media in terms of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MICs). Among the seven metal resistant soil bacteria, Bacillus cereus isolate PGBw4 and Bacillus cereus strain ES-4a1showed highest tole... Show More
