Selection of diazotrophic bacterial communities in biological sand filter mesocosms used for the treatment of phenolic-laden wastewater
(Springer Verlag, 2013)
Agri effluents such as winery or olive mill waste-waters are characterized by high phenolic concentrations. These compounds are highly toxic and generally refractory to biodegradation. Biological sand filters (BSFs) represent ...
Diet of whale sharks Rhincodon typus inferred from stomach content and signature fatty acid analyses
(Inter Research, 2013)
Whale sharks Rhincodon typus are large filter-feeders that are frequently observed
feeding in surface zooplankton patches at their tropical and subtropical coastal aggregation sites.
Using signature fatty acid (FA) ...
Engineering pyruvate decarboxylase-mediated ethanol production in the thermophilic host Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius
(Springer Verlag, 2013)
This study reports the expression, purification, and kinetic characterization of a pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) from Gluconobacter oxydans . Kinetic analyses showed the enzyme to have high affinity for pyruvate (120 μM at ...
Phylogeny of Southern African and Australasian Wahlenbergioids (Campanulaceae) based on ITS and trnL-F sequence data: implications for a reclassification
(Aspt American Society of Plant Taxonomists, 2013)
The Campanulaceae: Wahlenbergioideae currently comprises 15 genera, one of which, Wahlenbergia, is widespread over the
southern continents. Southern Africa is the region with maximum wahlenbergioid diversity with 12 genera ...
Inorganic ions in leonotis leonurus extract do not explain changes in isolated Wistar rat heart function
(Open Access Science Research Publisher, 2011)
Leonotis leonurus (L. leonurus) R. Br (Lamiaceae) is used by healers in South Africa. The present study was conducted to determine if the L. leonurus effect on isolated rat heart is due to ionic changes in the perfusion fluid.
Inferring bona fide transfrags in RNA-Seq derived-transcriptome assemblies of non-model organisms
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Background: De novo transcriptome assembly of short transcribed fragments (transfrags) produced from sequencing-by-synthesis technologies often results in redundant datasets with differing levels of unassembled, partially ...
Self-similarity of human protein interaction networks: a novel strategy of distinguishing proteins
(2015)
The successful determination of reliable protein interaction networks (PINs) in several species in the
post-genomic era has hitherto facilitated the quest to understanding systems and structural properties of
such networks. ...
Nevirapine plasma concentrations in premature infants exposed to single-dose nevirapine for prevention of mother-tochild transmission of HIV-1
(Health and Medical Publishing Group, 2011)
Background: No pharmacokinetic data exist for premature infants receiving single-dose nevirapine (sd NVP) for prevention of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV.
Aim: To describe NVP decay pharmacokinetics in two ...
Text Messaging a tool in e-Health services
(Telkom, 2010)
HIV/AIDS continues to be a menace to the
global community, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and
South Africa is not an exception. The infection rate is
continues to grow, in particular, among the young adults.

A decade of plant proteomics and mass spectrometry: Translation of technical advancements to food security and safety issues
(Wiley, 2013)
Tremendous progress in plant proteomics driven by mass spectrometry (MS) techniques has been made since 2000 when few proteomics reports were published and plant proteomics was in its infancy. These achievements include ...
