  1. 1. Biocontrol activity of Meyerozyma guilliermondii against mould growth and a study of local post-harvest systems for maize in Cameroon

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Sofia Ny; [2011]
    Keywords : Cameroon; Post-Harvest loss; Biocontrol storage; Local Post-Harves systems;

    Abstract : Post-harvest loss is a major problem for farmers in sub-Saharan Africa. Substantial amountsof cereal grain are lost each year due to factors such as exposure to rain, extreme drought,physical damage and invasion of microorganisms. This decreases the availability of food/feedwhich in turn increases prices and the consumption of unsafe food. READ MORE

  3. 2. Hansenula anomala versus Meyerozyma guilliermondii in inhibition of Enterobacteriaceae and evaluation of maize storages in Cameroon

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Oleana Hedman; [2011]
    Keywords : Hansenula anomala; Meyerozyma guilliermondii; Enterobacteriaceae; biocontrol; Cameroon;

    Abstract : In sub-Saharan Africa post-harvest losses constitute a major problem. In order to preserve food and feed in a safe and sustainable way new methods need to be investigated and introduced. One system to preserve grain in a secure and energy saving way is by using a biocontrol organism. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effects of biogas residues on respiration and denitrification in arable soil : evaluation of methods, microbial activity and agronomic implications

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Erik Jönsson; [2011]
    Keywords : Biogas residue; Anaerobic digestion; Pig slurry; PDA; Respiration; Organic fertilizers; Biogas; Rötrest; Flytgödsel; Denitrifikation; Bördighet; Soil fertility;

    Abstract : Agricultural soils constitute the base in human food production and soil content of organic matter and plant nutrients together with soil microbial activity are all important parameters for high crop yield of good quality. These parameters are dependant on proper fertilization. READ MORE

  5. 4. Feed improvement by energy efficient storage using Pichia anomala inoculated ensiled cereal grain

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Jenny Borling; [2010]
    Keywords : Cereal grain storage; microbial population; Feed hygiene; Moulds; Pichia anomala;

    Abstract : Borling, J. 2010. Preservation of moist crimped cereal grain can be achieved as a result of fermentation by lactic acid bacteria. Climatic variations make it difficult under practical farm conditions to harvest the grain at a moisture content (30-45%), suitable to ensure fermentation. READ MORE
