Using biochemical and nutrient analysis to understand the role of methylglyoxal signalling in soybean exposed to zirconium
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)Soybean have been listed as a priority commodity crop in South Africa (SA) and provide a good source of protein to the population. Therefore, soybean has been earmarked as an important food security crop and strategies are ... -

Using CRISPR/Cas9 to construct consolidated bioprocessing strains from natural isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)Saccharomyces cerevisiae has gained much attention as a host for cellulosic bioethanol production using consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) methodologies, due to its high ethanol producing titres, heterologous protein producing ... -
Valorisation of brewers’ spent grain: enzymatic hydrolysis in the production of xylooligosaccharides
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)The beverage industry constitutes approximately 26% of all food wastes, making it one of the largest contributors in this waste segment. By utilising waste or by-products from agriculture and food production in manufacturing ... -
Y-STR profiling of four South African populations using the University of the Western Cape 10 locus set
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)In this study the 10 Y-specific loci of the University of the Western Cape (DYS710, DYS518 385a/b, DYS644, DYS612, DYS626, DYS504, DYS447, DYS447, and DYS481) were analysed in 492 individuals from South African population ... -
Zirconium-induced physiological and biochemical responses in two genotypes of Brassica napus L.
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)South Africa is one of two countries responsible for the production of approximately 80% of the world’s Zr. The increase in mining activity has detrimental effects on the environment, especially crop plants, as more ...
