Fruit waste streams in South Africa and their potential role in developing a bio-economy
(Academy of Science of South Africa, 2015)Current and previous studies on bio-based (fruit) wastes and wastewaters, with a particular emphasis on research in South Africa, were reviewed. Previous studies have focused predominantly on the beneficiation and ... -
Effect of carbon on whole-biofilm metabolic response to high doses of streptomycin
(Frontiers Media, 2015)Biofilms typically exist as complex communities comprising multiple species with the ability to adapt to a variety of harsh conditions. In clinical settings, antibiotic treatments based on planktonic susceptibility tests ... -
Diguanylate cyclase null mutant reveals that C-Di-GMP pathway regulates the motility and adherence of the extremophile bacterium acidithiobacillus caldus
(Public Library of Science, 2015)An understanding of biofilm formation is relevant to the design of biological strategies to improve the efficiency of the bioleaching process and to prevent environmental damages caused by acid mine/rock drainage. For this ... -
Co-detection of virulent escherichia coli genes in surface water sources
(Public Library of Science, 2015)McNemar’s test and the Pearson Chi-square were used to assess the co-detection and observed frequency, respectively, for potentially virulent E. coli genes in river water. Conventional multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction ... -
50 years of Emmonsia disease in humans : the dramatic emergence of a cluster of novel fungal pathogens
(Public Library of Science, 2015)New species of Emmonsia-like fungi, with phylogenetic and clinical similarities to Blastomyces and Histoplasma, have emerged as causes of systemic human mycoses worldwide. They differ from classical Emmonsia species by ...
