Isolation and characterization of lytic proteus virus 309
(MDPI, 2022)
Proteus mirabilis is frequently associated with complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) and
is the main cause of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). Treatment of such infections
is complicated and ...
Green-synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles mitigate salt stress in sorghum bicolor
(MDPI, 2022)
Salinity is an abiotic stress that is responsible for more than 50% of crop losses worldwide.
Current strategies to overcome salinity in agriculture are limited to the use of genetically modified
crops and chemicals ...
The association of mthfr (rs1801133) with hypertension in an indigenous South African population
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
The current study sought to investigate the association between the
methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) variant (rs1801133) and the risk
of developing hypertension (HTN) in an indigenous South African population.A ...
Prevalence, patterns and determinants of dyslipidaemia among South African adults with comorbidities
(Nature Research, 2022)
The present study assessed the prevalence, patterns and determinants of dyslipidaemia among South African adults with multi-morbidities. In this study, 614 individuals with DM and hypertension were recruited. Dyslipidaemia ...
Flavonoid and phenolic acid profiles of dehulled and whole vigna subterranea (l.) Verdc seeds commonly consumed in South Africa
(MDPI, 2022)
Bambara groundnut (BGN) is an underexploited crop with a rich nutrient content and
is used in traditional medicine, but limited information is available on the quantitative characterization
of its flavonoids and phenolic ...
Genetic characterization of the central variable region in African swine fever virus isolates in the Russian federation from 2013 to 2017
(MDPI, 2022)
African swine fever virus (ASFV), classified as genotype II, was introduced into Georgia in
2007, and from there, it spread quickly and extensively across the Caucasus to Russia, Europe and
Asia. The molecular epidemiology ...
Plant antimicrobial peptides (pamps): Features, applications, production, expression and challenges
(MDPI, 2022)
The quest for an extraordinary array of defense strategies is imperative to reduce the challenges
of microbial attacks on plants and animals. Plant antimicrobial peptides (PAMPs) are a subset
of antimicrobial peptides ...
Synthesis, theoretical calculation, and biological studies of mono- and diphenyltin(iv) complexes of n-methyl-n-hydroxyethyldithiocarbamate
(MDPI, 2022)
In this study, chlorophenyltin(IV) [(C6H5)(Cl)Sn(L)2] and diphenyltin(IV) [(C6H5)2Sn(L)2]
of N-methyl-N-hydroxyethyldithiocarbamate were prepared and characterized using various spectroscopic
methods (FTIR, 1H, 13C, and ...
Structure and biosynthesis of carotenoids produced by a novel Planococcus sp. isolated from South Africa
(BMC, 2022)
The genus Planococcus is comprised of halophilic bacteria generally reported for the production of
carotenoid pigments and biosurfactants. In previous work, we showed that the culturing of the orange-pigmented
Planococcus ...
Establishing minion sequencing and genome assembly procedures for the analysis of the rooibos (aspalathus linearis) genome
(MDPI, 2022)
While plant genome analysis is gaining speed worldwide, few plant genomes have been
sequenced and analyzed on the African continent. Yet, this information holds the potential to
transform diverse industries as it unlocks ...
