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 ...
Investigating the antimicrobial potential of Thalassomonas actiniarum
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
bioassay guided isolation approach was then used to isolate the high molecular weight antibacterial compound (50kDa-100kDa) from T. actiniarum fermentations. With common protein isolation, purification and detection methods ...
Investigating the antimicrobial potential of Thalassomonas actiniarum
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
The World Health Organisation predicts that by the year 2050, 10 million people could die annually as a result of infections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria. Individuals with compromised immune systems, caused by ...
