Genomic and Physiological Investigation of Heavy Metal Resistance from Plant Endophytic Methylobacterium radiotolerans Mamp 4754, Isolated from Combretum erythrophyllum
Combretum erythrophyllum is an indigenous southern African tree species, a metal hyperaccumulator that has been used as a phytoextraction option for tailing dams in Johannesburg, South Africa. In hyperaccumulators, metal detoxification has also been linked or attributed to the activities of endophytes, and, in this regard, metal detoxification can be considered a form of endophytic behavior. Therefore, we report herein on the identification of pr…
Diversity and Antimicrobial Activity of Culturable Fungal Endophytes in Solanum mauritianum
Plant endophytes are microbial sources of bioactive secondary metabolites, which mimic the natural compounds chemistry of their respective host plants in a similar manner. This study explored the isolation and identification of fungal endophytes, and investigated the antibacterial and antimycobacterial activity of their crude extracts. Fungal endophytes were isolated from Solanum mauritianum , identified using morphological traits and internal tr…
Antibacterial Activities of Crude Secondary Metabolite Extracts from Pantoea Species Obtained from the Stem of Solanum mauritianum and Their Effects on Two Cancer Cell Lines
Endophytes are microorganisms that are perceived as non-pathogenic symbionts found inside plants since they cause no symptoms of disease on the host plant. Soil conditions and geography among other factors contribute to the type(s) of endophytes isolated from plants. Our research interest is the antibacterial activity of secondary metabolite crude extracts from the medicinal plant Solanum mauritianum and its bacterial endophytes. Fresh, healthy s…
Phylogenetic Analysis and Antimicrobial Profiles of Cultured Emerging Opportunistic Pathogens (Phyla Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria) Identified in Hot Springs
Hot spring water may harbour emerging waterborne opportunistic pathogens that can cause infections in humans. We have investigated the diversity and antimicrobial resistance of culturable emerging and opportunistic bacterial pathogens, in water and sediment of hot springs located in Limpopo, South Africa. Aerobic bacteria were cultured and identified using 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) gene sequencing. The presence of Legionella spp. was investigated …
