The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented socio-economic changes, ushering in a “new (ab)normal” way of living and human interaction. water sector was not spared from the effects pandemic, period which had to adapt rapidly continue providing innovative sanitation solutions. This study unpacks interrogates approaches, products, services adopted by response lockdowns, heralding novel terrains, fundamental paradigm shifts, both at community workplace. highlights wider societal perspective...
Abstract Species in the Fusarium solani species complex are fast growing, environmental saprophytic fungi. Members of this genus filamentous fungi with a wide geographical distribution. keratoplasticum and F. falciforme have previously been isolated from sea turtle nests associated high egg mortality rates. Skin lesions were observed number stranded, post-hatchling loggerhead turtles ( Caretta caretta ) rehabilitation facility South Africa. Fungal hyphae epidermal scrapes affected isolated....
Abstract The order Saprolegniales (Class Oomycota) is a group of fungus-like eukaryotic microorganisms that have been associated with infections in fish and eggs. Infections from this are clearly evident because they cotton wool-like appearance. aim study was to characterize identify an oomycete isolated the eye Orange Blotched Peacock Cichlid Aulonacara sp. A sample mycelia single-spore isolations were conducted. Molecular characterization phylogenetic analysis ITS1-5.8-ITS2 rDNA region for...
Abalone feed in South Africa is mainly produced from locally sourced grains and has soy or fishmeal as a protein source. Contamination with fungal species associated grain-based animal is, therefore, predictable risk. Various Fusarium, Penicillium Aspergillus are known to produce mycotoxins when colonising grains. The aim of this study was investigate the occurrence toxigenic ingredients compound abalone feeds well final abalone-feed products. In study, 248 isolates were obtained collected...
