Yeasts from Lesotho: their classification and possible applications
(University of the Free State, 2004-11)
In view of the decline of natural habitats due to urban and industrial development, the need to search for new yeasts is pressing since few natural habitats have been thoroughly investigated for yeast species. Yeasts have ...
The lipid composition of the yeast genus Saccharomycopsis Schiönning
(University of the Free State, 2004-11)
English: In this study, the construction of a forecasting model, using intracellular fatty acid composition as indicator, was attempted to assist in the search for yeasts capable of producing 3-hydroxy oxylipins. In order ...
Genotype by environment interaction for oil quality in high oleic acid sunflower lines
(University of the Free State, 2007-10-17)
English: High oleic acid sunflower hybrids have been available on the market for a few years, but research on the stability of these genotypes for oil quality traits in South African production areas is limited. General ...
The role of lipids in the flocculation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(University of the Free State, 2005-11)
English: Although beer production is one of the oldest biotechnologies in the world, a major constraint in brewing remains controlling flocculation. Evidence points towards a possible role of lipids, associated with the ...
Alkane and fatty acid hydroxylating cytochrome P450 monooxygenases in yeast
(University of the Free State, 2008-11)
Yarrowia lypolytica, Candida tropicalis, Candida maltosa and Candida cloacae are extensively studied n-alkane degrading yeasts and are widely used in various industrial processes (Madzek et al., 2004, Mobley, 1999). ...
Improvement of subcutaneous fat quality of pigs by means of dietary manipulation
(University of the Free State, 2002-11)
English: The objectives of this study were to identify feed ingredients with the potential to improve fat quality
of pigs and to illustrate experimentally that it is possible to produce baconer pigs in the P and ...
Characterisation and diallel analysis of commercially planted cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) germplasm in Tanzania
(University of the Free State, 2005-11)
English: 1. Thirty cotton varieties were studied. Seven parents generated 21 F1 diallel progenies.
The main objective was to evaluate genotypes through oil content, fatty acids,
morphological and molecular characteristics. ...
Biochemistry of Russian wheat aphid resistance in wheat: involvement of lipid-like products
(University of the Free State, 2007-11-03)
Physical damage and disease are known to cause changes in the lipid composition of plants. The biochemical pathways that lead to changes in the lipid composition were investigated in a comparative study using Russian wheat ...
Clinically relevant ex vivo fatty acid profiles from a lipid model for colorectal adenocarcinoma
(University of the Free State, 2007-11)
The challenge we face today is identification of the mechanisms through which dietary factors perturb fundamental fatty acid (FA) pathways in cancer cells. In principle, insight into a lipid model for the cancer entity ...
Characterization of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) cultivars in South Africa
(University of the Free State, 2004-11)
Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) is one of the world’s most economically important fibre crops. The traditional use of kenaf focuses on its fibre production, for the making of products such as ropes, sacks, canvases, and ...
