(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1962-03)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: no abstract available -
Involvement of Fenton chemistry in rice straw degradation by the lignocellulolytic bacterium Pantoea ananatis Sd-1
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Lignocellulolytic bacteria have revealed to be a promising source for biofuel production, yet the underlying mechanisms are still worth exploring. Our previous study inferred that the highly efficient ... -
Ion exchange in wine making with special reference to the hydrogen cycle treatment of white musts
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1960-12)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: no abstract available -
Iron and multiple sclerosis
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2007-03)Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that causes neurological dysfunction. Studies attempting to elucidate the role of genes in MS development may aid efforts to control the damage caused by the disease that affects two ... -
Iron and Tuberculosis pathogenesis
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2014-04)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Iron is an essential element that plays a role in the process of respiration, oxygen transport and as a principle cofactor to several enzymes. Iron homeostasis is a finely regulated process since excess ... -
Ironing out haemochromatosis : a study of an Indian family
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2008-03)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Iron metabolism disorders comprise the most common disorders in humans. Hereditary haemochromatosis (HH) is a common condition resulting from inappropriate iron absorption. The most common form of the ... -
Irrigation scheduling of tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L.) grown hydroponically in coir
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009-12)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The use of capacitance water sensors for the scheduling of irrigation for hydroponic tomato and cucumber crops grown in coir was investigated in a series of laboratory and glasshouse experiments in the ... -
Isolation and characterisation of a culm-specific promoter element from sugarcane
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2005-03)Sugarcane (Saccharum spp) is an important crop worldwide and is cultivated for the high level of sucrose in its mature internodes. Because of the exhaustion of the genetic potential in the commercial sugarcane germplasm ... -
The isolation and characterisation of a developmentally-regulated gene from Vitis vinifera L. berries
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2004-12)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Despite increased focus on ripening-related gene transcription in grapevine, and the large number of ripening-related cDNAs identified from grapes in recent years, the molecular basis of processes involved ... -
Isolation and characterisation of carotenoid biosynthetic genes from Vitis vinifera
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2007-03)Plants are constantly exposed to adverse environmental conditions including variations in light intensity and the availability of water resources. These abiotic factors are expected to worsen as the changing global climate ... -
Isolation and characterisation of genes encoding biopolymer manufacturing enzymes
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-03)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Biopolymers exhibit the required material properties to replace conventional, non-biodegradable, petroleum-based polymer products. They have a closed carbon cycle, making them carbon neutral and environmentally ... -
Isolation and characterisation of genes involved in carbon and chlorophyll metabolism in Saccharum species hybrids
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2015-04)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Sugarcane is a tropical perennial grass species belonging to the Poaceae (true grasses) family. Mature sugarcane is comprised mostly of sugarcane stalks, which accumulate high amounts of sucrose, a fact ... -
Isolation and characterisation of lipolytic bacteria and investigation of their ability to degrade fats, oils and grease in grain distillery wastewater
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2015-04)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The large volumes of effluent water generated by distillery industries is an issue of great concern as it contains pollutants that must be treated according to environmental legislation. It has been ... -
Isolation and characterisation of novel enzymes producing fructo- and galacto-oligosaccharides through a metagenomic approach
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2018-03)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Prebiotic oligosaccharides and polymers are a form of dietary carbohydrate that are selectively fermented by the microbiota of the lower gastro intestinal tract and confer a health benefit to the host ... -
Isolation and characterisation of the antimicrobial peptides produced by acetic acid bacteria
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2003-03)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Wine quality is greatly influenced by the number of microorganisms, which occur throughout the winemaking process. Yeasts are responsible for the alcoholic fermentation, the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) ... -
Isolation and characterization of antifungal peptides from plants
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2008-03)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Over the last decade research has shown the importance of small antimicrobial peptides in the innate immunity of plants. These peptides do not only play a critical role in the multilayered defense systems ... -
Isolation and evaluation of the sugarcane UDP-glucose dehydrogenase gene and promoter
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-12)The young internodes of sugarcane are ideal targets for altering metabolism, through genetic manipulation, to potentially control known fungal diseases such as Smut or to increase sucrose yields in these regions that are ... -
Isolation and identification of the microbial consortium present in fermented milks from Sub-Saharan Africa
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-03)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A wide variety of traditionally and commercially fermented milks are commonly consumed in various countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. Commercially fermented milk is produced on an industrial scale according ... -
Isolation and partial characterisation of PHT1;5, a putative high affinity phosphate transporter from Arabidopsis thaliana
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-03)ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Inorganic Phosphate (Pi) is one of the key nutrients required by all living organisms on earth. This nutrient is of vital importance to higher plants but it is not readily available for uptake from the ... -
