Analysis of physico-chemical characteristics of drinking water, biofilm formation and occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria
(North-West University, 2014)The main aim of the study was to analyse the impact of physico-chemical parameters on drinking water quality, biofilm formation and antibiotic resistant bacteria in the drinking water distribution system in Mafikeng, North ... -
Diatoms on sea turtles and floating debris in the Persian Gulf (Western Asia)
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)The current study investigated diatom communities on juvenile green turtles foraging in neritic habitats around five Iranian islands. The primary objectives were to (1) compare species composition, growth form structure, ... -
A new species of Lucanicum (Cyclophorales, Bacillariophyta) associated with loggerhead sea turtles from South Africa
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)A new Lucanicum species, L. ashworthianum Majewska, K.Robert & Van de Vijver sp. nov., was found in multiple samples of biofilm growing on loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta and their symbiotic barnacles Chelonibia ... -
Shared epizoic taxa and differences in diatom community structure between green turtles (Chelonia mydas) from distant habitats
(Springer, 2017)The first reports of diatoms growing on marine mammals date back to the early 1900s. However, only recently has direct evidence been provided for similar associations between diatoms and sea turtles. We present a comparison ...
