ABSTRACT

The microorganisms involved in the fermentation of African oilbean seeds for Ugba production were investigated. This investigation revealed the presence of Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella and Proteus. It was obvious that no other microorganisms outside bacteria was involved in this fermentation Bacillus spp were seen to be the persistent bacteria throughout the fermentation period. The number of microorganisms I increased from day 1 to day 3 and decreased from day 4 till the end of fermentation. Bacillus spp presence of fungi. The study can be a key, leading to the development ofstarter culture for Ugba production.
