Bezuidt, Keoagile Ignatius Oliver; Gomri, Mohamed A.; Pierneef, Rian Ewald; Van Goethem, Marc W.; Kharroub, Karima; Cowan, Don A.; Makhalanyane, Thulani P. (Genomic Standards Consortium, 2016-09-09)The members of the genus Thermoactinomyces are known for their protein degradative capacities. Thermoactinomyces sp. strain AS95 is a Gram-positive filamentous bacterium, isolated from moderately saline water in the ...

Clasen, Frederick Johannes; Pierneef, Rian Ewald; Slippers, Bernard; Reva, Oleg N. (BioMed Central, 2018-05-03)BACKGROUND : Genomic islands (GIs) are inserts of foreign DNA that have potentially arisen through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). There are evidences that GIs can contribute significantly to the evolution of prokaryotes. ...

Bezuidt, Keoagile Ignatius Oliver; Pierneef, Rian Ewald; Gomri, Amin M.; Adesioye, Fiyinfoluwa Adenike; Makhalanyane, Thulani P.; Kharroub, Karima; Cowan, Don A. (Frontiers Research Foundation, 2016-05-24)The genus Geobacillus is comprised of a diverse group of spore-forming Gram-positive thermophilic bacterial species and is well known for both its ecological diversity and as a source of novel thermostable enzymes. ...

Pierneef, Rian Ewald; Clasen, Frederick Johannes; Bezuidt, Keoagile Ignatius Oliver; Reva, Oleg N. (Bentham Open, 2018)BACKGROUND : Horizontal gene transfer of mobile genetic elements is an essential component of prokaryotic evolution. These insertion events in eukaryotes and particularly in the human genome have been investigated by ...

Welgemoed, Tanya; Pierneef, Rian Ewald; Read, David Alan; Schulze, Susanna Elizabeth; Pietersen, Gerhard; Berger, David Kenneth (Springer, 2020-09)Maize yellow mosaic virus (MaYMV) is a single-stranded RNA polerovirus first identified in China. MaYMV was recently reported from West and East Africa, however it had not yet been reported from southern Africa. RNA-seq ...

Welgemoed, Tanya; Pierneef, Rian Ewald; Sterck, Lieven; Van de Peer, Yves; Swart, Velushka; Scheepers, Kevin Daniel; Berger, David Kenneth (Frontiers Media, 2020-03-13)Gray leaf spot (GLS) disease in maize, caused by the fungus Cercospora zeina, is a threat to maize production globally. Understanding the molecular basis for quantitative resistance to GLS is therefore important for food ...

Bezuidt, Keoagile Ignatius Oliver; Lebre, Pedro H.; Pierneef, Rian Ewald; Leon-Sobrino, Carlos; Adriaenssens, Evelien M.; Cowan, Don A.; Van de Peer, Yves; Makhalanyane, Thulani P. (American Society for Microbiology, 2020-05-05)By modulating the structure, diversity, and trophic outputs of microbial communities, phages play crucial roles in many biomes. In oligotrophic polar deserts, the effects of katabatic winds, constrained nutrients, and ...

Van Goethem, Marc W.; Pierneef, Rian Ewald; Bezuidt, Keoagile Ignatius Oliver; Van de Peer, Yves; Cowan, Don A.; Makhalanyane, Thulani P. (BioMed Central, 2018-02-23)BACKGROUND : Soil bacteria naturally produce antibiotics as a competitive mechanism, with a concomitant evolution, and exchange by horizontal gene transfer, of a range of antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Surveys of ...

Muzondiwa, Dillon; Mutshembele, Awelani; Pierneef, Rian Ewald; Reva, Oleg N. (Elsevier, 2020-02)The effective control of multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) relies upon the timely diagnosis and correct treatment of all tuberculosis cases. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has great potential as a method for ...
