Culture- Dependent Characterization of Microbes associated with Oil Palm Kernel Borer, Pachymerus cardo in the Niger Delta
Author(s): Ogbalu OK and Douglas SI Ogbalu OK and Douglas SI
The microbes associated with the oil palm kernel were investigated. The total culturable heterotrophic bacterial, fungal and coliform counts of kernel with holes, the larvae in the kernel with holes and also the internal of the kernel were analysed using standard microbiological methods. The results of the analysis showed the following genera; Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Micrococcus, Aerobacter, Escherichia coli, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus, Mucor, Rhizopus, Penicillium, Candida, Saccharomyces and Fusarium. When the bacterial and fungal counts from three locations were compared at p ≥ 0.05, there was no significant difference in the counts. However, when the bacterial and fungal counts for each location were compared, there was significant difference at p ≥ 0.05. Bacillus sp had the highest bacterial population; this.. View More»
