Biological crusts of serpentine and non-serpentine soils from the Barberton Greenstone Belt of South Africa
Venter, Arthurita; Siebert, Stefan; Rajakaruna, Nishanta; Barnard, Sandra; Levanets, Anatoliy; Peterson, Bianca; Sanko, Tomasz (Springer, 2017)Climate and geography can influence biological soil crust (BSC) community composition, but local heterogeneity in variables such as soil characteristics or microclimate gradients can also impact cryptogamic diversity. Heavy ... -
Cyanobacteria and algae of gold mine tailings in the North-West Province of South Africa
Orlekowsky, Tanya; Venter, Arthurita; Van Wyk, Fanus; Levanets, Anatoliy (Borntraeger Science Publishers, 2013)Cryptogamic crusts are important components in arid and semiarid lands and could play a vital role in the rehabilitation of mine tailings. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the occurrence of cyanobacteria ... -

Levanets, A.; Venter, Arthurita; Labuschange, L.; Wescott, M.; Du Plessis, Sandra (OpenJournals Publishing, 2009) -
Epilythic cyanobacteria and algae in two geologically distinct caves in South Africa
Janse van Vuuren, Sanet; Du Preez, Gerhard; Levanets, Anatoliy; Maree, Louis (2019)There is a lack of knowledge on cyanobacteria and algae living in caves in the southern hemisphere. As a result, a pioneer study was undertaken to investigate cyanobacterial and algal community composition in two ... -
First record of a cyanobacterium Petalonema alatum (Borzì ex Bornet & Flahault) Correns (Cyanobacteria, Scytonemataceae) in Africa
Maree, Louis; Janse van Vuuren, Sanet; Levanets, Anatoliy; Taylor, Jonathan (Pensoft, 2018)Petalonema alatum (Borzì ex Bornet & Flahault) Correns is a nitrogen fixing, subaerial cyanobacterium characterized by a blue-green trichome surrounded by a very broad, lamellated mucous sheath. It typically grows on ... -
Growth of soil algae and cyanobacteria on gold mine tailings material
Seiderer, Tanya; Venter, Arthurita; Van Wyk, Fanus; Levanets, Anatoliy; Jordaan, Anine (ASSAf, 2017)The goal of revegetation of gold mine tailings storage facilities is to reduce aeolian pollution, nutrient leaching and erosion caused by exposure to wind and water. The establishment of biological soil crusts may prove ... -
Microcostatus schoemanii sp. nov., M. cholnokyi sp. nov. and M. angloensis sp. nov. three new terrestrial diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) from South Africa
Levanets, Anatoliy; Taylor, Jonathan Charles; Blanco, Saúl; Ector Luc (John Wiley & Sons, Inc, 2010) -
Planktonic algae and cyanoprokaryotes as indicators of ecosystem quality in the Mooi River system in the North-West Province, South Africa
Venter, A.; Barnard, S.; Dickinson, M.A.; Janse van Vuuren, S.; Levanets, A.; Taylor, J.C. (South African Water Research Commission, 2013)An ecologically healthy Mooi River system is important for maintaining the quality of potable water of Potchefstroom and surrounding areas. However, this system is under constant threat from anthropogenic pollution arising ... -
A preliminary survey of the diversity of soil algae and cyanoprokaryotes on mafic and ultramafic substrates in South Africa
Venter, Arthurita; Levanets, Anatoliy; Rajakaruna, Nishanta; Siebert, Stefan (CSIRO Publishing, 2015)Despite a large body of work on the serpentine-substrate effect on vascular plants, little work has been undertaken to describe algal communities found on serpentine soils derived from peridotite and other ultramafic rocks. ...
