Background Multiple types of solid waste in developing countries is disposed of together in
dumpsites where there is interaction between humans, animals and the bacteria in the …

Despite known risks of inappropriate disposal of biomedical solid waste; most cities in
developing countries are still disposing unsorted and untreated solid biomedical waste in …

The discharge of solid and liquid waste from domestic, municipal, and hospital premises
pollutes the soil and river ecosystems. However, the diversity and functions of the microbial …

In this study, high-throughput metagenomic amplicon sequencing and physicochemical
analyses were used to evaluate the structural composition and functional diversity of the soil …

The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence and antibiotic resistance
phenotype of enteric bacteria from the municipal dumpsite. A qualitative survey of the …

Understanding microbial diversity across different ecosystems is important for discerning the
mechanisms shaping the microbial community assembly. However, knowledge on …

Little is known about the bacterial diversity of landfills and how environmental factors impact
the diversity. In this study, PCR-based 454 pyrosequencing was used to investigate the …

Bacterial taxonomic community analyses using PCR-amplification of the 16S rRNA gene
and high-throughput sequencing has become a cornerstone in microbiology research. To …

The municipal landfill is an example of human-made environment that harbours some
complex diversity of microorganism communities. To evaluate this complexity, the structures …

The extent of microbial diversity in nature is still largely unknown, suggesting that there
might be many more useful products yet to be identified from soil microorganisms. This …
