Marine bacteria as a potential source for novel antimicrobial compounds
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
The high rate of rediscovery of known compounds has led to a decline in the discovery of novel natural products. The high biodiversity of organisms growing in extreme conditions such as oceans has led to the increased ...
Bioactivity and genome guided isolation of a novel antimicrobial protein from Thalassomonas viridans
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The continued emergence of bacterial resistance to the antibiotics currently employed to treat several diseases has added to the urgency to discover and develop novel antibiotics. It is well established that natural products ...
