Identification of novel cold-adapted nitrilase superfamily enzymes
(2009)
In bacteria, nitrile hydratases and enzymes of nitrilase and signature amidase superfamilies hydrolyse nitriles and amides to their corresponding carboxylic acids releasing ammonia. Bacteria expressing these enzymes are ...
Novel genomic approaches for the identification of virulence genes and drug targets in pathogenic bacteria
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)
While the many completely sequenced genomes of bacterial pathogens contain all the determinants of the host-pathogen interaction, and also every possible drug target and recombinant vaccine candidate, computational tools ...
Comparison of actinobacterial diversity in Marion Island terrestrial habitats
(University of the Western Cape, 2008)
The major aim of this study is to determine and compare the distribution of bacteria and actinobacteria in Marion Island terrestrial habitats.
Analysis of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria associated with the roots of Proteaceae plant species in soils of Fynbos ecosystem
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
The major objective of this study was to investigate soil ammonia-oxidizing bacterial diversity and composition associated with plant roots of Proteaceae plants and to compare it with non-plant associated soil.
The fate of microbial contaminants in the subsurface with a South African case study
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
The time bound agenda of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) aims at reducing poverty, extending gender equality and advancing opportunities for health and education by addressing current and future water resource and ...
ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOUNDS FROM GALENIA AFRICANA
(University of the Western Cape, 2001)
Galenia africona, commonly known as "kraalbos" or "geelbos" belonging to the family Aizoaceae, is a dominant plant throughout the Namaqualand area. It is an active invader and is especially abundant in disturbed areas ...
