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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
