Testing the utility of DNA barcoding for the rapid assessment of Formicidae biodiversity in the eThekwini region.
(2014)
The biodiversity of Durban (eThekwini municipality) in KwaZulu Natal is primarily
threatened by urbanization although other factors such as climate change and the spread of
invasive species also pose a significant threat. ...
The inhibition of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense race 4 by Burkholderia cepacia.
(1997)
Inhibition of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 4 by Burkholderia cepacia was evident when grown on various media (TSA, PDA, PSA, YM, KMB, PPM, NYGA, LA) with different carbon sources and under various pH and ...
Characterisation of the divergence of the Elsenburg Merino resource flock.
(2012)
The Elsenburg Merino flock has been divergently selected for the ability of ewes to rear multiple offspring since 1986. Updated genetic trends for reproduction are reported for the Elsenburg Merino resource flock. The ...
Behavioural, reproductive and growth studies on Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters 1852)
(2010)
A major obstacle facing the successful creation of an African aquaculture industry, based upon Oreochromids, is the irregular supply of good quality fish seed. There are several causative biological processes behind its ...
Isolation of an acetochlor detoxifying bacterium and cloning of an associated gene.
(1995)
A Pseudomonas strain, AI08, which was capable of detoxifying the herbicide acetochlor (2-
chloro-N-ethoxymethyl-6'-ethylacet-o-toluide) was isolated from soils. The microbe was
isolated using a combination of batch culture ...
Phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of the Borna disease virus.
(2002)
The characteristic trait of the Borna disease virus is that it is a complicated single negative stranded RNA virus that is capable of infecting a wide array of mammalian species including human beings. It has been implicated ...
Prevalence and antibiotic sensitivity of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli isolates in South African pig population.
(2015)
Escherichia coli (E. coli) are among the leading bacterial causes of diarrhoea and edema in newborn and weaned pigs. Pathogenic strains of E. coli are classified into enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), enterohemorrhagic E. ...
The use of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene to identify and discriminate spider species of eThekwini region.
(2017)
DNA barcoding compliments traditional morphology-based taxonomic approaches and is a molecular-based method for rapid species identification and flagging of potential new species. A fragment of 658-bp of the mitochondrial ...
The taxonomy and systematics of the bee genus Scrapter (Colletidae: Colletinae: Scraptrini)
(2016)
Scrapter is a southern African endemic pollen-collecting genus consisting of 43 described species with 13 species also occurring in neighbouring countries such as Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia and Zimbabwe. Classification ...
