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 ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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, ...
