Bacillus pumilus strain YSPMK11 as plant growth promoter and bicontrol agent against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
(Springer, 2017)A study was executed in a direction to attenuate Sclerotinia stalk rot (SSR) disease through biocontrol agent and also to enhance crop productivity. Culture filtrate of bacterial strain YSPMK11 inhibited growth of Sclerotinia ... -
Bacillus-based bionematicides: development, modes of action and commercialisation
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)Agricultural crops are severely damaged by root-knot nematodes causing extensive financial losses globally. Historically, agrochemicals have been the preferred method to combat these pests; however, threats to humans and ... -

Back to basics: a methodological perspective on marble-burying behavior as a screening test for psychiatric illness
(Elsevier, 2018)Animal models of human psychiatric illness are valuable frameworks to investigate the etiology and neurobiology underlying the human conditions. Accurate behavioral measures that can be used to characterize animal behavior, ... -
Background ambient atmospheric mercury concentrations for the South African interior
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)Atmospheric mercury (Hg) pollution is a global health concern. Once emitted into the atmosphere, gaseous elemental mercury (Hg0) can be converted to highly reactive gaseous oxidised mercury (Hg2+), which is deposited to ... -
Background Radioactivity in the North West Province
(North-West University (South Africa), 2001)The unavailability of the background radioactivity baseline data of the North West province for the various geological units is a problem from the radiation protection point of view. The regulation of the nuclear industry ... -
Backup bearing modelling for turbo machines with high axial and radial loads
(s.n, 2014)The use of active magnetic bearings (AMBs) in turbo machines is an active research topic and the implementation in industrial applications is becoming commonplace. This is especially true when investigating the backup ... -
Bacterial communities associated with the surface of sweet pepper and their selection for biocontrol
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)Biocontrol agents (especially, microbial antagonists) can sustainably and effectively protect yield losses in crops. In sweet peppers (Capsicum annum), one of the most nutritionally rich fruit crop, widely grown worldwide, ... -
Bacterial community composition of an urban river in the North West Province, South Africa, in relation to physico-chemical water quality
(Springer, 2016)The aim of this study was to determine the impacts of anthropogenic disturbances on bacterial community composition in an urban river (Mooi River). Physico-chemical analysis, bacterial enumeration and 454-pyrosequencing ... -
Bacterial diversity and mycotoxin reduction during maize fermentation (steeping) for ogi production
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015)Bacterial diversity and community structure of two maize varieties (white and yellow) during fermentation/steeping for ogi production, and the influence of spontaneous fermentation on mycotoxin reduction in the gruel were ... -
Bacterial diversity of South African soils
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The soil is an essential part of the environment as it provides support for life which comprises microorganisms, plants, animals and humanity. Ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling, food production and temperature ... -
Bacterial pathogens identified from houseflies in different human and animal settings : a systematic review and meta‐analysis.
(Elsevier, 2022)Housefly (Musca domestica) is an excellent candidate for the distribution of susceptible and resistant bacterial strains that potentially threaten public health. To date, there is a paucity of information on the global ... -
Bacterial species and mycotoxin contamination associated with locust bean, melon and their fermented products in south-western Nigeria
(Elsevier, 2017)The microbiological safety of spontaneously fermented foods is not always guaranteed due to the unde fi ned fermenting microbial consortium and processing materials. In this study, two commonly consumed traditional condiments ... -
Bacteriocinogeny in Proteus vulgaris
(University of Pretoria, 1967)One hundred and eighteen different strains of Proteus vulgaris were investigated for bacteriocinogeny. These P. vulgaris strains were also used a s indicators. Seventy of the 118 strains produced zones of inhibition when ... -
Bacteriophage levels and associated characteristics in selected temperate water systems
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)Bacteriophages are studied in an effort to establish the viral safety of water as well as gather information as to what source of faecal pollution is dominant in a water system. The aim of this study was to determine ... -
Bacteroides species as indicators of faecal pollution in environmental water sources : a literature review
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Faecal pollution of water has long been an issue of great concern due to the potential health risks associated with faeces. A lack of understanding the implications of sewage contamination in water combined with inadequate ... -
