Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) Degrading Potential of Bacteria Isolated from Iko River Sediment

Stephen Akpan, Senyene Umana & Solomon Etuk · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2020

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degrading potential of bacteria isolated from Iko River sediment, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria was investigated. The mean total heterotrophic bacteria obtained from the sediment samples was 6.4 × 10 cfu/g while 9.8 x 103 cfu/g hydrocarbon utilizi...

Assimilation Dynamics of Different Diet Sources by the Sea Cucumber Holothuria scabra, with Evidence from Stable Isotope Signature

Lisa F. Indriana, A’an J. Wahyudi & Andreas Kunzmann · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2018

The sea cucumber Holothuria scabra has a high commercial value and a great potential to be cultivated. A thorough feeding strategy is needed to overcome juvenile rearing technique constraints. Stable isotope analysis can be used for determining diet sources of sea cucumbers that...
