“…Stored in the dry state, sclerotia will remain viable for 1-2 years. Previously developed assays require that test plate be inoculated from freshly grown precultures (Babich et al, 1982). The sclerotia assay is initiated with sclerotia that may have been stored for up to a year.…”

“…Stotzky 1977 andMueller et al 1989). Above certain concentrations and over a narrow range, the heavy metals turn into toxins (Babich et al 1982). Moreover, the heavy metals deposited in the soil are bound preferentially to inter-aggregate soil materials and accumulation preferentially occurs in parts of the soil where plant roots are concentrated and in the forms that are easily accessible to plants (Wagner 1993).…”

An in vitro study was conducted to assess the effects of slums on ecosystem services particularly soil, plant and water. The research findings indicated that, samples of soil, plant and water were contaminated with heavy metals, many of which were above permissible limits. The heavy metals exceeding the permissible limits pose serious threats to the surrounding plant and animal lives. Hence, there is a health risk associated with the consumption of the vegetables grown in the slums due to the fact that the heavy metals can bio-accumulate into human body through the food chain.

“…In natural water, the concentration of chromium is low and is within the range of between 1 and 2 μg/l (Moore and Ramamoorthy, 1984). Chromium is used in industry, for electroplating, steel making alloys, in chrome plating, rubber manufacturing, and leather tanning and for fertilizers (Babich et al, 1982). The toxicity of chromium is dependent on its chemical speciation and thus its associated health effects are influenced by the chemical exposures (Holdway, 1988 .…”

Sublethal Effects of Chromium on Enzymatic Activities of the African Catfish: Clarias Gariepinus (Burchell, 1822)

The effect of sublethal concentration (0.00, 2.00, 4.00 and 8.00 mg/l) of chromium was determined on the activities of some enzymes (creatine-kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, cholinesterase, gamma glutamyltransferase) in the plasma, liver and kidney of the exposed juvenile African Catfish Clarias gariepinus (length 23.00±0.86 cm and weight 96.97±5.31 g respectively) after the 7 days exposure period. The activity of lactate dehydrogenase was significantly (p<0.05) decrease in plasma, liver and kidney while cholinesterase showed an insignificant decrease and increase (p>0.05) in plasma and liver and a significant decrease (p<0.05) in kidney after the 7 days exposure period. The activities of gamma glutamyltransferase and creatine-kinase were insignificantly decreased (p>0.05) in plasma, liver and kidney except liver creatine kinase that was significantly decreased. Generally, the activities of the determined enzymes were most significant in the liver than in plasma and kidney. Therefore, sublethal concentrations of chromium have some deleterious effect on the basic activities of enzymes of the plasma, liver and kidney of Clarias gariepinus as revealed in this investigation.
