gene transferAntibiotic resistance is a growing problem worldwide. Antibiotic resistance genes are transferred to other bacteria which may confer resistance to existing antibiotics which may threaten humankind. The projects under gene transfer determine factors affecting transfer of antibiotic resistance in waste water treatment processes especially its proliferation and mechanism of transfer under certain conditions.

aquacultureAntibiotics are being used in aquaculture as an additive for growth supplement. Little did we know that the addition of these compounds in aquatic systems has an impact to the nitrogen cycle. In this study, low concentration of oxytetracycline was evaluated for its impact on nitrogen cycle by bacterial communities in aquaculture. |
