Impact of metagenomic DNA extraction procedures on the identifiable endophytic bacterial diversity in Sorghum bicolor (L. Moench)
(Elsevier, 2015)
Culture-independent studies rely on the quantity and quality of the extracted environmental metagenomic DNA
(mDNA). To fully access the plant tissue microbiome, the extracted plant mDNA should allow optimal PCR
applications ...
Identification of superior cellulase secretion phenotypes in haploids derived from natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is considered an important host for consolidated bioprocessing and the production of
high titres of recombinant cellulases is required for efficient hydrolysis of lignocellulosic substrates ...
Silver–zinc oxide nanocomposite antiseptic from the extract of Bidens pilosa
(Springer, 2019)
Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs), zinc oxide (ZnO-NPs) and zinc oxide–silver (ZnO–Ag-NPs) were biosynthesized based on
the rich matrix of alkaloids, flavones, tannins capping/stabilizing agents present in Bidens pilosa ...
Preparation and evaluation of pralidoxime-loaded plga nanoparticles as potential carriers of the drug across the blood brain barrier
(Hindawi, 2015)
Pralidoxime is an organophosphate antidote with poor central nervous system distribution due to a high polarity. In the present
study, pralidoxime-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles were prepared and ...
Intrinsic scatter of caustic masses and hydrostatic bias: An observational study
(EDP Sciences, 2017)
All estimates of cluster mass have some intrinsic scatter and perhaps some bias with true mass even in the absence of measurement
errors for example caused by cluster triaxiality and large scale structure. Knowledge of ...
Eliminating micro-porous layer from gas diffusion electrode for use in high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell
(Elsevier, 2017)
In this work, we report a simple strategy to improve the performance of high temperature polymer
electrolyte membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) by eliminating the micro-porous layer (MPL) from its gas
diffusion electrodes ...
Modelling the distribution of the invasive Ziziphus mauritiana along road corridors in Zimbabwe
(Wiley, 2019)
We investigate how human fruit consumption affects the spread of the alien invasive
Ziziphus mauritiana along road corridors in northern Zimbabwe. A field survey was
conducted to identify and map Z. Mauritiana stems at ...
