Chemical Compositions of Three Economic Tuber Crops Grown In South East, Nigeria
Abstract: Yam (Dioscorea spp) are known for their climbing properties, twining stems which coils readily around a stake and exhibiting glaborous leaves. Via root system, they are perennial but are usually grown as annual crops. Yam is economically important because it serves a staple food for millions of people in Africa, as well as Nigeria. There is limited information on nutrients composition of Nigerian foods. As a result, nutrients intake from …

Microalgae in Bioremediation of Waste water and Production of Bioproducts
Abstract: Domestic wastewater treatment and remediation is an exclusive practice due to substantial time and scheduling needed for fruitful management. Recent waste water treatment plants are extremely mechanical and costly to build and sustain. Maximum of the domestic waste water is considered feeble or average in strength with nitrogen levels between 20–40 mg/L and phosphorus levels between 4–8 mg/L[3]. These concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus are unwanted as they can lead …
