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. ... -
Characterisation of a biological soil culture and its effects on the biology of root-knot nematodes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2017)Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are the number one economically important and damaging nematode pest of agri- and horticultural crops. Withdrawal of synthetic nematicides from markets necessitated the exploitation ... -
Characterization of bacteria isolated from a platinum mine tailings dam
(North-West University, 2012)Contamination from various sources has a huge impact on soil health and microbial community composition. Metal contamination of soil in mining scenarios is of concern and is not adequately addressed, particularly with ... -
Diversity and functional attributes of microorganisms from stockpiled soils of coal mines in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa
(North-West University, 2018)Coal mining in South Africa is renowned for large-scale removal of topsoil and subsoil through opencast mining. Such processes lead to an enormous amount of land degradation, and thus limit the land when mining operation ... -
Diversity and functionality of rhizobacteria associated with different growth stages of maize plants under field conditions
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)The near root region of plants (rhizosphere) is a complex terrain where bacteria communities play significant roles in ecological system functions. The rhizosphere is capable of both directly and indirectly influencing the ... -
EcoHealth survey of Herpetofauna in South Africa
(North-West University (South Africa), 2023)In this project, the samples were taken from reptiles’ oral and cloacal cavities. The majority of samples originated from healthy-appearing captive reptiles therefore the bacteria detected in this study form part of the ... -
Genetic polymorphism of prevalent root nodules bacterial strain from Bambara nut
(North-West University (South Africa), 2017)Bambara groundnut is an underutilized crop of good microbial resources in green manure. The knowledge of the true microbial diversity in rhizopheric bacteria of Bambara groundnut is fundamental to effective exploitation ... -
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 ...
