Bioaccumulation and genotoxic effect of heavy metal pollution in marine sponges from the Niger Delta (2024)
Journal Article

In this study, levels of Al, Cu, Ni, Cd, Cr and Pb were quantified in seawater, sediments, and sea sponges from six sites in the Niger Delta and one relatively clean site outside the Niger Delta area using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission...

An anodic stripping voltammetric approach for total mercury determination in sea sponges from the Niger Delta region of Nigeria (2024)
Journal Article

Mercury pollution from ongoing crude oil refining and waste disposal activities threatens aquatic ecosystems and human health in the Niger Delta. Mercury monitoring exercise in this region is challenging due to the high cost of traditional instrument...

Amylase production from marine sponge Hymeniacidon perlevis; potentials sustainability benefits (2023)
Journal Article

The marine sponge Hymeniacidon perlevis is a globally distributed and invasive species with extensive filter-feeding characteristics. The symbiotic relationship fostered between the sea sponge and the inhabiting microorganism is key in the production...

Journal Article

Can we adopt sea sponges as reliable indicators of aquatic pollution? (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Toxic chemical cocktails in aquatic ecosystems exist in various
environmental matrices (water column, sediment, and biota) Therefore, each of these matrices can indicate pollution in an aquatic ecosystem

Aquatic biota as indicators has an advan... Read More about Can we adopt sea sponges as reliable indicators of aquatic pollution?.

Aluminium Induced DNA-damage and Oxidative Stress in Cultures of the Marine Sponge Hymeniacidon perlevis (2019)
Journal Article

Aluminium is the most abundant element in the earth crust, and has no known biological function. However, it is an established neurotoxicant in its trivalent oxidation state, with exposure resulting in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s dise...

Development of cultures of the marine sponge Hymeniacidon perleve for genotoxicity assessment using the alkaline comet assay (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 SETAC Sponges are a potential alternative model species to bivalves in pollution biomonitoring and environmental risk assessment in the aquatic ecosystem. In the present study, a novel in vivo exposure sponge culture model was developed from f...

Anti-Inflammatory effect of Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) aqueous extracts on Rattus norvegicus (albino rats) (2016)
Journal Article

Anti-inflammatory effect of Pleurotusostreatus (oyster mushroom) aqueous extract was studied. The extract was prepared using a novel design of relative moisture content to determine the dry weight of the extract. Thirty-five albino rats (grouped in...

Surface water characteristics and trace metals level of the Bonny/New Calabar River Estuary, Niger Delta, Nigeria (2015)
Journal Article

Surface water samples from three stations in the Bonny/New Calabar River Estuary were analyzed for the physicochemical characteristics and trace metal level in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Results show pH ranged from 7.56 to 7.88mg/L; conductivity, 3... Read More about Surface water characteristics and trace metals level of the Bonny/New Calabar River Estuary, Niger Delta, Nigeria.

Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in two matrices of the Bonny/New Calabar River Estuary in Niger Delta, Nigeria (2015)
Journal Article

The concentrations of Ca, Mg, K, Zn, Pb, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni and Na were determined in the sediment and biota of the Bonny/New Calabar River Estuary in Niger Delta, Nigeria using atomic absorption spectrophotometer A-100. The concentration of the... Read More about Bioaccumulation of heavy metals in two matrices of the Bonny/New Calabar River Estuary in Niger Delta, Nigeria.
