Actinobacterial diversity of the Ethiopian Rift Valley lakes
(University of the Western Cape, 2011)The class Actinobacteria consists of a heterogeneous group of filamentous, Gram-positive bacteria that colonise most terrestrial and aquatic environments. The industrial and biotechnological importance of the secondary ... -
Bioactive actinobacteria associated with two South African medicinal plants, Aloe ferox and Sutherlandia frutescens
(University of Western Cape, 2021)Actinobacteria, a Gram-positive phylum of bacteria found in both terrestrial and aquatic environments, are well-known producers of antibiotics and other bioactive compounds. The isolation of actinobacteria from unique ... -
Biological and enzymatic activity of actinobacteria associated with aloe ferox
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)Antimicrobial resistance is a global crisis that has been on the rise for decades, threatening the health and safety of many nations. This highlights the need to discover novel antimicrobial compounds to combat already ... -
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. -
Development of an actinobacteria based in vitro transcription and translation systems
(University of the Western Cape, 2015)Heterologous metagenomic screening strategies have relied largely on the construction of DNA libraries and screening in Escherichia coli to access novel enzymes. There is an increased demand for the identification of novel ...
