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 ... -
Biases during DNA extraction affect bacterial and archaeal community profile of anaerobic digestion samples
(Springer, 2017)The anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic waste for biogas production has received much attention in recent years due to the increasing need for renewable energy and environmentally friendly waste management systems. ... -
In vitro evaluations to determine the effect of Bacillus firmus strains on the motility of Meloidogyne incognita second-stage juveniles
(Springer, 2016)Eco-friendly control strategies, such as biological agents containing Bacillus firmus, are known to adversely impact the biology of Meloidogyne incognita and other nematode pests that damage agricultural crops. The efficacy ... -
Insights into the microbiological safety of vermicompost and vermicompost tea produced by South African smallholder farmers
(Springer, 2018)Feedstock used in the production of vermicompost (VC) and vermicompost tea (VCT) may harbour various pathogenic bacteria responsible for a number of animal and human diseases worldwide. The identification and characterisation ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Microbial community structure and relationship with physicochemical properties of soil stockpiles in selected South African opencast coal mines
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)At present, there is no comprehensive soil quality assessment practice for soil stockpiles in the South African coal mining industry. Soil microorganisms and enzymes are suitable indicators for soil quality monitoring. ... -
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, ... -
PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of microbial community in soy-daddawa, a Nigerian fermented soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) condiment
(Elsevier, 2016)Soy-daddawa, a fermented soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) condiment, plays a significant role in the culinary practice of West Africa. It is essential to understand the microbial community of soy-daddawa for a successful ... -
Probiotic consortia are not uniformly effective against different amphibian chytrid pathogen isolates
(Wiley, 2018)Symbiotic bacterial communities can protect their hosts from infection by pathogens. Treatment of wild individuals with protective bacteria (probiotics) isolated from hosts can combat the spread of emerging infectious ...
