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 ... -
Characterization of microbial assemblages on micro-plastics in a river system
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)Microplastics as pollutants originate from land-based sources and are persistent and ubiquitous in the aquatic environment. The risks posed by microplastics as vectors and habitats for potentially harmful microbial groups ... -
The dynamics of toxic microcystis strains and microcystin production in two hypertrofic South African reservoirs
(Elsevier, 2012)The South African impoundments of Hartbeespoort and Roodeplaat experience excessive blooms of Microcystis species each year. Microcystins, produced primarily by strains of cyanobacteria belonging to the genera Microcystis, ... -
Exploration and comparison of bacterial communities present in bovine milk, faeces and blood using 16S rRNA metagenomic sequencing
(North-West University (South Africa), 2022)Livestock rearing plays a vital role in sustenance of the livelihoods of rural communities. In contrast, livestock serves as a potent reservoir of different pathogenic organisms that could have devastating health and ... -
Isolation and characterisation of crude oil sludge degrading bacteria
(SpringerOpen, 2016)Background The use of microorganisms in remediating environmental contaminants such as crude oil sludge has become a promising technique owing to its economy and the fact it is environmentally friendly. Polycyclic aromatic ... -
Isolation of corynebacterium species from retail mutton and lamb in the North West Province, South Africa
(Science and Education Publishing, 2014)Corynebacterium species occur as part of the normal flora of animals and humans and there is very little information on the diversity and host range of these pathogens. Despite this, some Corynebacterium species have been ... -
Metagenomic analyses of bacterial endophytes associated with the phyllosphere of a Bt maize cultivar and its isogenic parental line from South Africa
(Springer, 2017)Genetic modification of maize with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cry proteins may predispose shifts in the bacterial endophytes’ community associated with maize shoots. In this study, the diversity of bacterial endophytes ... -
Molecular analysis of bacterial community dynamics during the fermentation of soy-daddawa condiment
(Springer, 2016)Bacterial community dynamics during soy-daddawa fermentation was investigated using culture-dependent and PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) molecular methods. The total titratable acidity (TTA), pH, ...
