Changes in cell surface and metabolism associated with strains of Listeria monocytogenes displaying different sensitivities to class IIa bacteriocins
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2003-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The possible use of the bacterially produced antimicrobial peptides, and in particular class IIa
bacteriocins as food preservatives is a motivating factor in studies on resistance to them by
food-borne ...
Investigation of glucocorticoid and dissociated glucocorticoid activity in hepatoma cell lines with specific reference to regulation of the corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG) proximal promoter'
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2003-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigated the effect of several hormones on the rat corticosteroid binding
globulin proximal promotor and for the first time showed that modulation occurs at the
promotor level and can ...
