Nanotechnology advances towards development of targeted-treatment for obesity
(Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2019)
Obesity through its association with type 2 diabetes (T2D), cancer and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), poses a serious health threat, as these diseases contribute to high mortality rates. Pharmacotherapy alone or in ...
High 16S rDNA bacterial diversity in glacial meltwater lake sediment, Bratina Island, Antarctica
(Springer Verlag, 2003)
The microbial diversity in maritime meltwater
pond sediments from Bratina Island, Ross Sea, Antarctica
was investigated by 16S rDNA-dependent
molecular phylogeny. Investigations of the vertical
distribution, phylogenetic ...
Draft Genome Sequence of Gordonia lacunae BS2T
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017)
We report here the draft genome sequence of the soil bacterium Gordonia
lacunae BS2T ( DSM 45085T JCM 14873T NRRL B-24551T), isolated from
an estuary in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa. Analysis of the draft genome ...
Characterisation of campylobacter concisus strains from South Africa using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) profiling and a genomospecies-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay: Identification of novel genomospecies and correlation with clinical data
(Academic Journals, 2013)
Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) profiling was used to evaluate the distribution of
phenotypically indistinguishable, but genetically distinct, among Campylobacter concisus strains from
South Africa. A Polymerase ...
A designed experiments approach to optimizing MALDI-TOF MS spectrum processing parameters enhances detection of antibiotic resistance in Campylobacter jejuni
(Frontiers Media, 2016)
MALDI-TOF MS has been utilized as a reliable and rapid tool for microbial fingerprinting at the genus and species levels. Recently, there has been keen interest in using MALDI-TOF MS beyond the genus and species levels to ...
Molecular characterization of the 16S rRNA Gene of helicobacter fennelliae isolated from stools and blood cultures from paediatric patients in South Africa
(Hindawi, 2011)
Forty strains of H. fennelliae collected from paediatric blood and stool samples over an 18 year period at a children's hospital in
Cape Town, South Africa, were amplified by PCR of the 16S rRNA. Two distinct genotypes ...
Multilocus sequence typing methods for the emerging Campylobacter species C. hyointestinalis, C. lanienae, C. sputorum, C. concisus, and C. curvus
(Frontiers Media, 2012)
Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) systems have been reported previously for multiple food - and food animal-associated Campylobacter species (e.g., C. jejuni, C. coli, C. lari, and C. fetus) to both differentiate strains ...
The search for the ideal biocatalyst
(Nature Publishing Group, 2002)
While the use of enzymes as biocatalysts to assist in the industrial manufacture of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals has enormous potential, application is frequently limited by evolution-led catalyst traits. The advent ...
The Institute for Microbial Biotechnology and Metagenomics 2009
(UWC, 2010-01)
The IMBM Brochure (2009) provides a summary of the staffing, activities and outputs of the Institute for the 2009 academic year
