Degradation of glyphosate using environmental lignocellulolytic fungal isolates and extracellular enzymes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)Glyphosate is the most used herbicide in the world. Having been detected in food and water systems, glyphosate raises several concerns around food safety and its environmental impact. Recent studies have found an increase ... -
Evaluation of fungal and mycotoxin contamination of maize consumed in the North West Province of South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2015)The North West province of South Africa ranks the second major maize producing region in the country after the Free State, South Africa. In the North West province, as is the case in much of the world, fungal and subsequent ... -
Heavy metal tolerance potential of Aspergillus strains isolated from mining sites
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Increased heavy metal pollution generated through anthropogenic activities into the environment has necessitated the need for eco-friendly remediation strategies such as mycoremediation. With a view to prospecting for fungi ... -
Isolation of fungi from dung of wild herbivores for application in bioethanol production
(Elsevier, 2017)Producing biofuels such as ethanol from non-food plant material has the potential to meet transportation fuel requirements in many African countries without impacting directly on food security. The current shortcomings ... -
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. ... -
Occurrence and variation of Fusarium free and masked mycotoxins in maize from agriculture regions of South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)In the past years, it has become very clear that in mycotoxin-contaminated foodstuffs, many structurally related compounds generated from plant metabolism or during food processing can coexist with the native mycotoxins. ... -
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 ...
