Balancing redox cofactor generation and ATP synthesis: key microaerobic responses in thermophilic fermentations
(Wiley, 2013)
Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius is a Grampositive, thermophilic bacterium capable of ethanologenic fermentation of both C5 and C6 sugars and may have possible use for commercial bioethanol production [Tang et al., 2009; ...
Nitric oxide (NO) regulates the expression of single-domain cystatins in glycine max (soybean)
(Southern Cross Publishing, 2013)
Plant cystatins inhibit cysteine proteases and are important in regulating plant development and plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress. Furthermore, nitric oxide plays a signaling role in regulating plant responses ...
Assessment of temporal and spatial evolution of bacterial communities in a biological sand filter mesocosm treating winery wastewater
(The Society for Applied Microbiology, 2013)
AIMS: To assess the impact of winery wastewater (WW) on biological sand filter (BSF) bacterial community structures, and to evaluate whether BSFs can constitute alternative and valuable treatment-processes to remediate WW. ...
INPPO actions and recognition as a driving force for progress in plant proteomics: Change of guard, INPPO update, and upcoming activities
(Wiley, 2013)
The International Plant Proteomics Organization (INPPO) is a non-profit organization whose members are scientists involved or interested in plant proteomics. Since the publication of the first INPPO highlights in 2012, ...
One-pot synthesis and characterization of InP/ZnSe semiconductor nanocrystals
(Elsevier, 2013)
We report on the one-pot synthesis of InP/ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) using a precursor-based colloidal synthesis in a noncoordinating solvent environment. The structural and optical studies were carried out on the as-prepared ...
Association analysis of two single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the RELN gene with autism in the South African population
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2013)
BACKGROUND: Autism (MIM209850) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a triad of impairments, namely impairment in social interaction, impaired communication skills, and restrictive and repetitive behavior. A ...
Genome sequences of three vaccine strains and two wild-type canine distemper virus strains from a recent disease outbreak in South Africa
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017)
Canine distemper virus causes global multihost infectious disease. This report details complete genome sequences of three vaccine and two new wild-type strains. The wild-type strains belong to the South African lineage, ...
Brown rot-type fungal decomposition of sorghum bagasse: variable success and mechanistic implications
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2018)
Sweet sorghum is a promising crop for a warming, drying African climate, and basic information is lacking on conversion
pathways for its lignocellulosic residues (bagasse). Brown rot wood-decomposer fungi use carbohydra ...
The production of hydrogen through the use of a 77 wt% Pd 23 wt% Ag membrane water gas shift Reactor
(Elsevier, 2016)
Hydrogen as an energy carrier has the potential to decarbonize the energy sector. This work presents the application of a palladium-silver (PdeAg) membrane-based reactor. The membrane reactor which is made from PdeAg film ...
PZQ Therapy: How close are we in the development of effective alternative anti-schistosomal drugs?
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2019)
Today schistosomiasis, caused mainly by the three major schistosome species (S.
mansoni, S. haematobium and S. japonicum), has for many decades and still continues to be on a
rapid and swift rise globally, claiming ...
