Antibacterial effects of biogenic silver nanoparticles synthesized using manihot esculenta (cassava) leaf aqueous extract
Oliver, Toni Charlize Alexia (University of the Western Cape, 2023)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health concern that poses a serious threat to the health of humans, animals, and plants. The major public health problem of AMR is primarily caused by the incorrect use ... -
Antimicrobial, anticancer and catalytic activities of green synthesized Avocado seed extract-gold nanoparticles
Ngungeni, Yonela (University of the Western Cape, 2019)Nature through billions of years of trial and error has produced an immeasurable amount of natural systems like plants, birds and animals. The intelligence of nature is hidden in these natural systems and researchers are ... -
Evaluation of the anticancer and molecular effects of green synthesized silver nanoparticles
Simon, Sohail (University of the Western Cape, 2023)Globally, cancer is considered the second leading cause of death with a staggering tally of 10 million deaths. Breast, lung, colon, rectum and prostate cancers are amongst the most commonly diagnosed cancers. The current ... -
Green synthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from Bulbine frutescens leaf extract and their antimicrobial effects
Lucas, Shakeela (University of the Western Cape, 2020)Combating antimicrobial resistant infections caused by nosocomial pathogens poses a major public health problem globally. The widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics for the treatment of wound infections has led to ... -
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from Indian hawthorn (rhaphiolepis indica) and the investigation of their antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxic effects
Nsumpi, Aurelie Ngalula (University of Western Cape, 2024-01-08)The global health concern pertaining the rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has led to a rise in mortality rate caused by infectious diseases that have become difficult to treat due to the misuse and lack ... -
Screening of plant-mediated nanoparticles for antifungal activity
de Beer, Irving (University of the Western Cape, 2020)Nanotechnology is spreading rapidly across the world as an extremely powerful technology. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are innovative scientific advancements that have been introduced only in this century. Nanotechnology ... -
Synthesis, optical and morphological characterization of pbse quantum dots for diagnostic studies: a model study
Ouma, Linda Achiengꞌ (University of the Western Cape, 2013)In this study PbSe quantum dots (QDs) were successfully synthesized via the organometallic and aqueous routes. Optical characterization was carried out using photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, structural and morphological ...
