Competition in Kenyan soils between Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli strain Kim5 and R. tropici strain CIAT899 using the gusA marker gene
Anyango, Beatrice; Wilson, Kate; Giller, Ken (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998-07)The contribution of appropriate inoculum strains to more efficient nitrogen fixation by legumes has been difficult to assess due to the laborious nature of the assays involved in assessing establishment of inoculum strains ... -
Diversity of Rhizobia Nodulating Phaseolus vulgaris L. in two Kenyan soils with contrasting pHs.
Anyango, Beatrice; Wilson, K J; Beynon, J L; Giller, K E (American Society for Microbiology, 1995)Rhizobia were isolated from two Kenyan soils with pHs of 4.5 and 6.8 and characterized on the basis of their host ranges for nodulation and nitrogen fixation, colony morphologies, restriction fragment fingerprints, and ... -
In vitro antimicrobial activity of methanolic extracts of different Senna didymobotrya (Fresen.) H. S. Irwin & Barneby plant parts
Jeruto, Pascaline; Arama, Peter; Anyango, Beatrice; Akenga, Teresia; Nyunja, Regina A.; Khasabuli, Daniel; Kamundia, John (Editorial Manager® and ProduXion Manager® from Aries Systems Corporation, 2015)Background: Herbal medicines are used widely for primary health care in Kenya among rural populations where modern medicines are not affordable. The flowers, roots, stems and leaves of Senna didymobotrya have both antifungal ... -
Morphological, genetic and symbiotic characterization of root nodule bacteria isolated from Bambara groundnuts (Vigna subterraneaL. Verdc) from soils of Lake Victoria basin, western Kenya.
Benson, Onyango; Anyango, Beatrice; Nyunja, Regina A.; Koech, P. K.; A.Skilton, Robert; Francesca, Stomeo (Journal of Applied Biology and Biotechnology, 2015)Low soil nitrogen (N) is a major constraint for sustainable crop production in smallholder farming systems in Africa. Grain legumes such as bambara groundnuts (Vigna subterraneaL. Verdc). can form N fixing symbiotic ... -
Morphometric study of Senna didymobotrya (Fresen.) H. S. Irwin and Barneby in Kenya
Jeruto, Pascaline; Arama, Peter; Anyango, Beatrice; Nyunja, Regina A.; Taracha, Catherine; Opiyo, Sylvia A. (Journal of Natural Sciences Research, 2017)Herbal medicine has been used for many years and it remains widespread in developing countries while the use of complementary alternative medicine is increasing rapidly in developed countries. Senna didymobotrya is important ... -
Occurrence of nodulation in leguminous trees in Kenya
Anyango, Beatrice; Keya, Shelemiah (Journal of Tropical Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2005)Exploitation of the potential for nitrogen fixing trees, soil improvement and multipurpose use, requires a good knowledge of their nodulation capabilities and agrosilvicultural manipulation. Nitrogen Fixation in some ...
