I am an Msc student in Microbiology at the University of Pretoria. I completed both my undergraduate and Bachelor of Science with Honours in Microbiology in the years 2018 and 2019, respectively.
My research focuses on the taxonomy and diversity of Bradyrhizobium in invasive Acacia spp. This is of particular importance as the nitrogen fixing symbiont is thought to contribute to the invasion success of Acacia spp.
