  • Kramer, Daniella; Lane, Frances Alice; Steenkamp, Emma Theodora; Wingfield, Brenda D.; Wilken, Pieter Markus (Elsevier, 2021-06)
    Sexual reproduction is ubiquitous in nature, and nowhere is this more so than in the fungi. Heterothallic behaviour is observed when there is a strict requirement of contact between two individuals of opposite mating type ...
  • Visagie, Cobus M.; Houbraken, J. (Elsevier, 2020-03)
    The taxonomy and nomenclature of the genus Aspergillus and its associated sexual (teleomorphic) genera have been greatly stabilised over the last decade. This was in large thanks to the accepted species list published in ...
  • Yao, Yao; Carretero-Paulet, Lorenzo; Van de Peer, Yves (Public Library of Science, 2019-07-31)
    The potential role of whole genome duplication (WGD) in evolution is controversial. Whereas some view WGD mainly as detrimental and an evolutionary ‘dead end’, there is growing evidence that the long-term establishment of ...
  • Li, Guoqing; Slippers, Bernard; Wingfield, Michael J.; Chen, ShuaiFei (BioMed Central, 2020-12)
    The Botryosphaeriaceae accommodates many important pathogens of woody plants, including Eucalyptus. Recently, Botryosphaeriaceae were isolated from diseased plant parts from surveys of Eucalyptus plantations in the ...

    Virus-microbe interactions in the ocean are commonly described by “boom and bust” dynamics, whereby a numerically dominant microorganism is lysed and replaced by a virus-resistant one. Here, we isolated a microalga strain ...

    Consumption of fumonisin-contaminated foods has a negative influence on the health of humans (carcinogen; oesophageal cancer in Eastern Cape in South Africa). Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have emerged as a promising natural ...

    Volatile constituents of the edible pulp of Strychnos cocculoides (Monkey orange) were extracted using solid phase microextraction (SPME) and their identity established by GC–FID and GC–MS systems. Six compounds were ...

    Water lilies belong to the angiosperm order Nymphaeales. Amborellales, Nymphaeales and Austrobaileyales together form the so-called ANA-grade of angiosperms, which are extant representatives of lineages that diverged the ...

    Genome sequencing of the yellow-pigmented, thermophilic bacterium Thermus sp. NMX2.A1 resulted in a 2.29 Mb draft genome that encodes for 2312 proteins. The genetic relationship between various strains from the genus ...
  • Borriss, Rainer; Rueckert, Christian; Blom, Jochen; Bezuidt, Keoagile Ignatius Oliver; Reva, Oleg N. (Elsevier, 2011)
    This chapter is devoted to application of whole genome sequence comparisons in taxonomy. Driven by the rapid progress in sequencing technologies, “low budget” bacterial genomes become increasingly available in a nearly ...
