“…This result is in harmony with the result of Adegunloye and Faloni [12], in which it was stated that the microorganisms are important in the release and transfer of electrons which brings about the generation of voltage and current. The identified organisms are in accordance with the organisms identified in the study of Sawant et al [13], Orji et al [14], Thilagam et al [15] and Adesiji et al [16]. The presence of these organisms could be from the intestinal tract of the cow or from the surrounding soil environment.…”

Production potential of cow dung for the generation of electricity was investigated using microbial fuel cell (MFC). Cow dung was collected from FUTA farm and Ilesha Garage farm in Akure. Voltage and current was measured per day for 21 days and the electrode used for the set up are carbon-carbon and carbon-aluminium electrode. Proximate, physico-chemical and mineral composition were determined using standard methods. Isolation and identification of microorganisms present in the cow dung were determined before and after generation of voltage and current using microbiological techniques. The microorganisms isolated were Providencia alcalifaciens, P. rettgeri, P. stuartti, Escherichia coli, E. fergusonii, Morganella morganii, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, S. aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Fusarium solani, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Mucor mucedo. The highest voltage 0.737±0 mV and electric current 1.265±0 mA were generated from FUTA cow dung. The pH ranged between 7.3 to 9.9 and the temperature ranged between 25 ˚C to 33 ˚C during generation of voltage and current. This study has shown that cow dung is a potential substrate for generation of electric current using fabricated double chamber MFC.

“…Indeed, according to Agamuthu et al [33], the addition of sewage sludge and cow dung in an used lubricant oilcontaminated soil (10%, w/w) resulted in 82% and 94% biodegradation, respectively, which were significantly higher than that in the control (without any amendment) setup (56%). In addition, Orji et al [34], using cow dung as organic nutrient source has shown good promises in the bioremediation of crude oil impacted mangrove swamps in Nigeria. Similarly, Udume et al [35], have revealed that the greatest biodegradation (93%) occurring in sterilized soil inoculated with optimized water hyacinth compost while that of the control was only 4% during crude oil biodegradation after 56 days incubation period.…”

Soil contamination by hydrocarbons poses numerous environmental, health and agricultural problems. The degradation of these pollutants can occur naturally but very slowly. It is therefore generally necessary to stimulate this degradation by different means. Thus, this study aimed to improve the biodegradation of diesel and crude oil in a Ghanaian soil by biostimulation. For this, the sampled soil was characterized by standard methods and contaminated with diesel and crude oil at a proportion of 1% (w/w). Then, contaminated soil samples were supplemented with biochar-compost, poultry manure or cow dung at the proportion of 10% (w/w). Periodically, fractions of these samples were taken to evaluate the density of hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria (HUB) and the residual quantities of diesel or crude oil. The characteristics of the soil used show the need for supplementation for better degradation of hydrocarbons. The results of the study show that supplementing the soil with organic substrates increases HUB loads in soils contaminated by diesel and crude oil. They also show that the residual quantities of diesel and crude oil are generally significantly lower in supplemented soils (p = 0.048 and p < 0.0001 respectively). In addition, the study shows that degradation was generally greater in soils contaminated by diesel compared to those contaminated by crude oil, especially at the end of the study.

“…In this study, the percentage biodegradation of TPH in crude oil contaminated soil as mediated by organicnutrients were evaluated at different biostimulant dosages and contact time. Several authors have examined nitrogen and phosphorus content of these wastes in accelerating the bioremediation of oil contaminated soil ecosystem (Orji et al, 2012;Ezekoye et al,2015). It was observed from figure 1 that the %biodegradation continued to increase with increase in the biostimulants dosages and the contact time required for remediation.…”

This study investigated the utilization of bio-stimulant derived from agro-based resource (potato peels) in the remediation of crude-oil contaminated soil. At a constant proportion of crude oil contamination, varying concentration of the biostimulant (5ml, 10ml, 15ml and 20ml) were introduced for the treatment (bioremediation and degradation) of the contaminated sites and left for a degradation period in plastic vessels. Periodic sampling of soil from each vessel was carried out at 5 days interval for total petroleum hydrocarbon analysis. Results indicated that after 20 days of exposure to the organic biostimulants, biodegradation of crude oil contaminated soil samples was directly proportional to the potato peels dosage. The potato peels (PO) derived biostimulant recorded 94.43 percentage degradation at 20ml dosage and 20 days contact time. Oil contaminated soil samples amended potato peels biostimulant recorded half-life of 0.702day and biodegradation rate constants of 0.986day-1. The zero order kinetic model best described the bioremediation kinetic behaviour of the bioremediation process. The findings of this research suggest that potato peels can be used as an effective organic amendment for the biodegradation of crude oil contaminated soil.
