In Vivo Assessment of Toxic Effects of Lead Nitrate on Daniorerio (Zebrafish)

Original Research Article / By

Introduction In the present scenario, the effect of heavy metals on aquatic fauna is gaining global concern, particularly in relation to industrial pollution [1]. The unregulated discharge of agricultural pesticides into aquatic bodies  led to environmental issues for organisms  in the aquatic habitat [2, 3].Heavy metal pollution of the aquaticbodies  results from direct geological weathering …

Distribution, Abundance, and Environmental Responses of Actinobacteria in Rhizospheric and Bulk Soils of Al-Haniya, Libya

Original Research Article / By

Introduction Soil microorganisms, particularly Actinobacteria, play pivotal roles in maintaining terrestrial ecosystem functioning through organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling, and symbiotic plant interactions [8]. Among these, the phylum Actinobacteria—notably the genus Streptomyces—has garnered global attention due to its unparalleled metabolic versatility, including the production of bioactive compounds (e.g., antibiotics, enzymes) and contributions to soil structure stabilization [18]. …

Effect of Synthetic Auxin on Water Content of Seedlings of Prosopis julifloraSwarz DC

Original Research Article / By

. Introduction The synthetic auxin 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) mimics the effects of the natural auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in plants[1]. Unlike IAA quickly inactivated; 2,4-D persists for extended periods. This prolonged presence can create an imbalance in auxin levels and disrupt interactions with other hormones at the tissue level[2]. 2,4-D accumulates in chloroplasts and …

Heavy metals remediation in wastewater and groundwater by metal oxides, activated charcoal, and EDTA

Original Research Article / By

Introduction Water contamination due to heavy metals is a pressing environmental concern, impacting both groundwater and wastewater systems. Heavy metals such as copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), boron (B), and aluminum (Al) pose significant risks to human health and the ecosystem when present in excess concentrations. These metals …

Assessment of trace metal elements in selected Plants around the vicinity of Ebedei Gas Flaring Station located at Ebedei Village, Ukwani Local Government Area, Delta State, Nigeria

Original Research Article / By

Introduction Trace metal analysis is a crucial part of environmental pollution studies [4, 12, 16].Plants growing in contaminated environments can accumulate trace elements at high quantities, which poses a major risk to people, even though some trace metals are essential for plant nutrition [15]. The core source of trace metals to plants is the air …

Exalted Level of Nitrogen Metabolism In the Presence of Sodium Sulphide in Nostocellipososporum under Thermal Stress

Original Research Article / By

Introduction Cyanobacteria are believed to be ubiquitous, inhabiting a broader range of environments than any other organism on Earth. They can thrive in varied environmental conditions, such as hot water  springs, hypersaline areas, chilling climates, and   deserts. Additionally, they are commonly found in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems  [70,40]. One of the most remarkable features …
