ABSTRACT
This research is
on isolation and characterization of microorganisms from waste dump sites in
Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike (MOUAU). The samples were
collected from three dump sites at the hostels in MOUAU. The physical
parameters of the dump sites were determined; morphological and biochemical characterization
was also carried out. Results of the research indicated the highest temperature
of 290C in site B and C and lowest temperature of 280C in site A. the degree of
acidity gotten ranged from 6.1 in site B, 6.6 in site A and highest of 6.8 in
site C. the bacteria isolated from the dump sites are: Bacillus spp, Pseudomonas
spp, Escherichia coli, Klebisella spp, Micrococcus spp, Enterobacter
spp, Serratia spp and Staphylococcis spp. The fungi isolated
were Aspergillus spp, Fusarium spp, Mucor and Penicillum spp.
Many Bacteria and Fungi as was identified by the result were isolated from the
dump sites.
