Diversity of dsDNA viruses in a South African hot spring assessed by metagenomics and microscopy
(MDPI, 2017)
The current view of virus diversity in terrestrial hot springs is limited to a few sampling
sites. To expand our current understanding of hot spring viral community diversity, this study
aimed to investigate the first ...
Virome assembly and annotation: A surprise in the Namib Desert
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2017)
Sequencing, assembly, and annotation of environmental virome samples is challenging. Methodological biases and differences in species abundance result in fragmentary read coverage; sequence reconstruction is further ...
Antibacterial activities of bacteria isolated from the marine sponges Isodictya compressa and Higginsia bidentifera collected from Algoa Bay, South Africa
(MDPI AG, 2017)
Due to the rise inmulti-drug resistant pathogens and other diseases, there is renewed interest
in marine sponge endosymbionts as a rich source of natural products (NPs). The South African marine
environment is rich in ...
