(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a global healthcare burden complicating the treatment of various infections. The infectious diseases burden is heavy in primary care. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common outpatient ...
DNA metabarcoding for the identification of species within vegetarian food samples
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Aims DNA metabarcoding has recently emerged as a valuable supplementary tool to ensure food authenticity within the global food market. However, it is widely known that highly processed food samples are one of DNA ...
Systematics of subtribe Anthosperminae and the generic affinities of Anthospermum and Nenax (Rubiaceae: Anthospermeae)
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
The last taxonomic treatment of the subtribe Anthosperminae was in 1986 by Puff., nevertheless, few attempts have been made to resolve the phylogeny and the inter- and infrageneric relationships within the subtribe. The ...
Secondary metabolites of the uromycladium tepperianum McAlpine epiphytic fungus
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
Research on natural products and medicinal plants has been conducted more with each passing
year due to the great interest in isolating bioactive compounds and secondary metabolites from
natural products such as plants, ...
A biogeographic, phylogenetic and taxonomic evaluation of South African orthopteran species (Orthoptera: Pneumoridae)
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)
The order Orthoptera contains a wide diversity of species and is the most speciose of the polyneopteran insect lineages. In South Africa, the orthopteran fauna is abundant and diverse, with approximately 88% of all Southern ...
