Abstract: Two yeast strains referred to as OY and SY were isolated and characterised from local distillery and cereal milling sites. Isolation was done using potato dextrose media supplemented with 0.2% chloramphenicol. Morphological and biochemical results together with the rDNA internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) were identified as Pichia kudriavzevii... Show More

Abstract: Heavy metals of acetate salts of lead, zinc, copper and mercury cause serious toxic effects on protein biosynthesis. These metal salts reduce the plasma protein content. A dose-response relationship is found to occur in this blood parameter in the experimental fish in comparison to the control group of fishes. Both groups are fed. Higher dose of th... Show More
