(University of Pretoria, 2017)Increased anthropogenic activities such as urbanisation and the bushmeat trade increase the degree of contact humans have with non-human primates. Zoonotic pathogens have increased the risk of disease emergence significantly. ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)Cancer is a major cause of death globally and the incidence of the disease is expected to increase in coming years. It is predicted that 20 million new cases of cancer will be observed annually as early as 2025, rising ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2018)Desert environments are characterised by harsh conditions and possess low biodiversity largely caused by abiotic factors such as; low precipitation, soil organic matter, high temperatures, high levels of evapo-transpiration, ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2018)The recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass to enzymic digestion remains a significant obstacle to the adoption of an environmentally and economically sustainable strategy for the synthesis of biomaterials. Traditional ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2016)Nesterenkonia sp. AN1 was isolated from soil samples obtained from the Miers Valley, McMurdo region in eastern Antarctica, where the organism survives under 'extreme' environmental conditions, including extreme cold, osmotic ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)Microbial communities inhabit many environmental niches including the nutrient-rich gut systems of animals, where they are involved in a number of important processes. Insect gut microbiota may assist the host with several ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)Microorganisms represent an intriguing and underexploited resource for the discovery of novel genes. Extremophiles in environments like the Namib Desert are exposed to multiple stress factors including UV radiation, ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2015)Global climate change is predicted to significantly alter extreme terrestrial environments. The disturbance of desert ecosystems is predicted to profoundly alter key biological processes that are thought to be mediated by ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2017)A Namib Desert soil hypolith metagenomic dataset was screened, in silico, for novel acetyl xylan esterase (AcXE) - encoding genes. AcXEs hydrolyse ester bonds to liberate acetic acid in acetylated polymeric xylan and ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2019)The present study presents the research findings of the first ever multi-modular Paenibacillus mucilaginosus glycoside hydrolase (PmGH). Furthermore, we report the successful crystallisation of a multi-modular GH. The GH ...
