Antibacterial Activities of Crude Extract from Infected Cocoa Against Abscess Forming BacteriaBy Ibrahim T.A., Fagbohun ED
Abstract: In this study, the antibacterial activity of crude phytoalexin extracted from matured cocoa pod against abscess forming bacteria was investigated. The crude phytolexin was extracted using redistilled dichloromethane after five days of post infection. Different concentrations (50, 100, 150 and 200 mg/ml) of the extract were tested against abscess forming bacteria namely; Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella Pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecium using paper disc and agar diffusion methods. …

Effect of Some Selected Plant Materials on Turbidity and Bacterial Density of Surface Water Used for Drinking in Ekiti StateBy Ibrahim T.A., Oluyege J.O.
Abstract: Plant extracts of various parts have been used for water purification for many centuries. This present study was aimed at establishing the phytodisinfection potentials of selected plants at different concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 mg/ml) in purification of surface water samples from selected rural communities of Ekiti State. These plants include Jathropha curcas, Calotrophis procera, Moringa oleifera,Hibiscus sabdariffa and Bambara nut which showed appreciable turbidity and bacterial …
