Listeria in food and water in the Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)Listeria are glam positive non-spong rods that were found in diverse environments including water, seafood, dairy products and vegetables. Outbreaks of listeriosis due to the consumption of foods contaminated L.monocytogenes, ... -
Mineralogy and chemical mobility in a weathered ash dump site, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)Coal fly ash generated from coal fired plants poses potential health risks to humans and plants in the environment due to the surface enrichment of the ash with various toxic trace elements during combustion. Only a small ... -
Palladium telluride quantum dots biosensor for the determination of indinavir drug
(2013)Indinavir is a potent and well tolerated protease inhibitor drug used as a component of the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) of HIV/AIDS, which results in pharmacokinetics that may be favourable or adverse. ... -
Parameters affecting the production of fumonisin B1 by fusarium verticillioides in culture
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)Fi1sarium verticillioides is a very important mycotoxin-produeing fungus associated with maize. Fverticillioides produces a group of mycotoxins known as fumonisins under suitable environmental conditions. A series of studies ... -
Purification and characterisation of plasmodium falciparum Hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)Malaria remains the most important parasitic disease worldwide. It is estimated that over 500 million infections and more that 2.7 million deaths arising from malaria occur each year. Most (90%) of the infections occur in ... -
Reliability of panoramic radiographs to determine the vertical position of the impacted third molar root tip from the inferior alveolar canal
(2013)Nowadays, the availability of radiographic modalities from conventional radiography to more advanced approaches such as medical computed tomography as well as cone beam computed tomography have been useful in providing ... -
A study of the pollination biology of the (gyno) dioecious fig, Ficus capreifolia Del. (Moraceae)
(University of the Western Cape, 1994)Ficus capreifolia is a (gyno)dioecious species with separate male and female plants bearing male and female syconia respectively. Male syconia had staminate flowers near the ostiolar region of their syconia and numerous ... -
Synthesis of One-Dimensional TiO2 Nanotube Arrays by Potentiostatic Anodisation
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)TiO2 nanomaterials, in particular nanotubes, are some of the most studied materials, as they are considerably important in technological and biological applications due to their unique electronic properties and biocompatibility. ... -
Three-dimensional structure of a type III glutamine synthetase by single particle reconstruction
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)This study represents the first structural investigation of any type III glutamine synthetase (GS). The GS, GlnA, from the medically important opportunistic human pathogen Bacteroides fragilis was studied with a view to ... -
Transcriptional regulatory networks in the mouse hippocampus
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)Neurological diseases are socially disabling and often mortal. To efficiently combat these diseases, a deep understanding of involved cellular processes, gene functions and anatomy is required. However, differential ...
