Comparison of multi-gene integration strategies in CRISPR-based transformation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(University of Western Cape, 2021)Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an important host in industrial biotechnology. This yeast is the host of choice for the first and second-generation biofuels for ethanol production. Genome modification in S. cerevisiae has been ... -
Improvement of cell-surface adhered cellulase activities in recombinant strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae engineered for consolidated bioprocessing
(University of Western Cape, 2021)Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP), in which a single organism in a single reactor is responsible for the conversion of pretreated lignocellulosic biomass to bioethanol, remains an attractive option for production of commodity ... -
Structural characterisation of the interaction between RBBP6 and the multifunctional protein YB-1
(University of the Western Cape, 2010)As a means of further localising the interaction, truncated fragments derived from the C-terminal region of YB-1, were tested for their interaction with the RING finger domain of RBBP6 using three different assays: a ... -
Tyrosol production of Candida species by plant extracts used for skin treatment remedies
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)The fungal genus Candida is a collection of approximately 150 asporogenous yeast species which are able to cause life-threatening diseases when the normal host defences have been compromised. The most commonly isolated ...
