Cetacean diversity of the eastern South Atlantic Ocean and Vema Seamount detected during a visual and passive acoustic survey, 2019
(Cambridge University Press, 6 June 2023)Cetaceans in the eastern South Atlantic Ocean are poorly studied. We present results from a 2 week ship-based survey from Cape Town to Vema Seamount (980 km to the west) during October–November 2019, including visual and ... -
Variation in microplastic concentration, characteristics and distribution in sewage sludge & biosolids around the world
(Elsevier, 24 May 2023)Microplastics have been reported in wastewater treatment works across the world. The majority of microplastics are removed during the wastewater treatment process, with removal efficiencies between 57 % to 99 %. What happens ... -
The influence of size and surface chemistry on the bioavailability, tissue distribution and toxicity of gold nanoparticles in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(Elsevier, 1 June 2023)Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are widely used in biomedicine and their specific properties including, size, geometrics, and surface coating, will affect their fate and behaviour in biological systems. These properties are ... -
Heightened Efficacy of Anidulafungin When Used in Combination with Manogepix or 5-Flucytosine against Candida auris In Vitro
(American Society for Microbiology, 10 May 2023)Candida auris is an emerging, multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen that causes refractory colonization and life-threatening, invasive nosocomial infections. The high proportion of C. auris isolates that display antifungal ... -
Comparison of the impact of two key fungal signalling pathways on Zymoseptoria tritici infection reveals divergent contribution to invasive growth through distinct regulation of infection-associated genes
(Wiley / British Society for Plant Pathology, 12 June 2023)The lifecycle of Zymoseptoria tritici requires a carefully regulated asymptomatic phase within the wheat leaf following penetration of the mesophyll via stomata. Here we compare the roles in this process of two key fungal ...
