The antimicrobial screening of four South African asteraceae species and the preliminary structural investigation of an antipseudomonal compound from Arctotts auriculata
(University of the Western Cape, 1998)
Infectious diseases represent one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in developing countries, like South Africa. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has also resulted in the emergence of a number of resistant ...
Geochemical and petrographic evidence for the vredefort proximal impact ejecta in the Northern Cape, South Africa
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
The advancement of the understanding of hypervelocity impacts lies in discovering impact structures and both proximal and distal impact ejecta. This study uses petrographic and geochemical techniques to investigate the ...
Organometallic improvement of some tuberculosis drugs
(University of the Western Cape, 2023)
Metal-based drugs are preferred motifs that serve as major pharmacophores in bioactive

The effect of copper on the growth, development and chemical composition of some dryland wheat cultivars
(University of the Western Cape, 2005)
Heavy metal accumulation in arable land as a result of mining activities, pesticides and fertilisers has become a global concern. Steinkopf and Concordia in the Northern Cape are well-known for subsistence farming, but ...
a comparative study of the influence of different copper concentrations on the growth, chemical composition and activities of certain copper containing enzymes in atriplex nummularia lindl. and a. vestita (thunb.) Aell.
(University of the Western Cape, 1990)
The total amount of native copper in soil depends on the amount of copper in the parent material (Tisdale .et .al.1968). It is usually in greater concentration in the soil than in parent rock because of weathering of the ...
