Bacterial species and mycotoxin contamination associated with locust bean, melon and their fermented products in south-western Nigeria
(Elsevier, 2017)The microbiological safety of spontaneously fermented foods is not always guaranteed due to the unde fi ned fermenting microbial consortium and processing materials. In this study, two commonly consumed traditional condiments ... -
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 ... -
Core bacterial community of soy-daddawa: insights from high-throughput DNA metabarcoding
(Elsevier, 2018)High-throughput sequence analysis of microbial communities in food matrices provides unprecedented insights into species richness and potential safety of foods. Here, the bacterial community of soy-daddawa, a fermented ... -
Functional attributes and response of bacterial communities to nature-based fertilization during hydrocarbon remediation
(Elsevier, 2020)This study offers a Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for the recovery of long-term oil-polluted soils. An NPK-type substituted organic fertilizer (SOF) was formulated using available nature-based materials, and its effect on ... -
Gut microbiota of Busseola fusca (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
(Springer, 2016)Busseola fusca (Fuller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a stemborer pest that attacks maize (Zea mays) throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Genetically modified maize has been shown to be effective against B. fusca. However, resistance ... -
High-throughput sequence analyses of bacterial communities and multi-mycotoxin profiling during processing of different formulations of Kunu, a traditional fermented beverage
(Frontiers Media, 2019)Kunu is a traditional fermented single or mixed cereals-based beverage popularly consumed in many parts of West Africa. Presently, the bacterial community and mycotoxin contamination profiles during processing of various ... -
High-throughput sequence analysis of bacterial communities in commercial biofertiliser products marketed in South Africa: an independent snapshot quality assessment
(Springer, 2019)The genetic and predicted functional diversity of bacterial communities in 12 commercial biofertiliser products were evaluated using high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Bacteroides ... -
Water quality of the Loopspruit, North- West Province: a geospatial, physicochemical and microbiological analysis
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)In the North West Province, surface water is polluted from sources such as surface runoff from agricultural settings, storm-water runoff as well as sewage from urban locations, and mining. This study aimed to evaluate the ...
