Metagenomics survey of major metabolic network of sunflower microbiota
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)The microbial communities inhabiting the root, termed the rhizosphere, are in a symbiotic association with their host. However, the plant-microbe interaction study at its current stage is still an evolving field of science. ... -
Microbial diversity, community structure and functional characteristics of sunflower rhizospheric soil
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)Rhizosphere zones are ‘hubs’ for microbial diversity comprising of diverse microbiomes compared with the nearby bulk soils. Rhizospheric microorganisms play major roles in plant health, development and yield. The exploitation ... -
Molecular selection and the taxonomy of rhizobacteria which suppress the growth of Fusarium graminearum on maize (Zea mays L.)
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)The disease-causing agent Fusarium graminearum is considered a global cause of distress to the agricultural economy due to its undesirable effects and its ubiquity in the soil leading to infections in cereal grains. ... -
Molecular, functional and structural diversity of bacteria in South African Forest soils
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Forest soils store substantial quantities of carbon and mediate vital stages of the global carbon cycle. Their capability to act as carbon sinks makes them important terrestrial biomes. Soil microbes, specifically bacteria ... -
RAPD Delineation of Native Bacillus spp. and Analyses of Their Biocontrol Effect on Tomato Fusarium Wilt
(North-West University, 2013)Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum mill) is a very important vegetable crop and easily susceptible to fungal diseases such as Fusarium wilt which is caused by Fusarium solani. The use of biocontrol can be used to ameliorate ... -
Screening Metagenome for novel N-Hydroxylating Monooxygenases (MMOs) using Bioinformatics and Biotechnological tools
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)Microbial N-hydroxylating monooxygenases (NMOs) are useful industrial biocatalysts that perform the regioselective addition of a single oxygen atom to the terminal amino group of their target substrates (primary aliphatic ...
