Résumé :
M. methulotrophus is a Gram negative obligate methylotroph depending on the presence of reduced carbon compounds containing one or more carbon atoms, but containing no carbon-carbon bonds. This organism can synthesize all its cellular constituents from methanol, trimethylamine, dimethylamine, or methylamine. Conversion of methanol and the methylated amines to cell carbon involves the ultimate oxidation to formaldehyde and ammonia. While the methanol dehydrogenase is produced constitutively, the enzymes involved in the assimilation of the methylated amines are inducible. All three enzymes of th

Résumé :
The CLEC16A locus has been identified as a susceptibility gene for multiple autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, type-I diabetes and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), in genome-wide association studies. CLEC16A encodes a novel C-type lectin-like protein, by virtue of a predicted C-type lectinlike domain (CTLD), with unclear function. Studies on the disease-associated SNPs have suggested that CLEC16A polymorphisms affect the expression of neighboring genes, while the effect on its own expression is unclear.

Résumé :
Juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were experimentally infected with Renibacterium salmoninarum (Rs), the causative agent of bacterial kidney disease (BKD), to investigate the effects of BKD on three aspects of juvenile salmonid performance: (1) predator avoidance ability; (2) smoltification; and (3) physiological responses to stress. For these experiments, fish with different Rs-infection profiles (created by using an immersion challenge method) were sampled to assess physiological change and subjected to various performance tests during disease progression.

Résumé :
Low physical activity levels and high serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) in both men and women. However, postmenopausal women who take hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may have increased risk of CAD because of HRT-related increases in serum CRP. There are two manuscripts in this dissertation. The purpose of the first manuscript was to determine whether higher physical activity energy expenditure was associated with lower serum CRP, independent of oral HRT status and body fatness, in 133 postmenopausal women. Higher physical activity energy

Résumé :
Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Johannesburg 1995<br>The large percentage of deaths attributed to recurrent Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) has generated a search for behavioural and psychological factors which mitigate the consequences of CHD. An aim of the present thesis is to extend this search by identifying factors which predict prognosis fer recovery from CHD. Two key factors seen to influence prognosis are aerobic exercise and Type A behaviour. Extant research into the role of exercise has been hindered

Résumé :
Clostridium perfringens type A isolates producing enterotoxin (CPE) are an important cause of food poisoning and non-food-borne human gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, including antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD), and spontaneous diarrhea (SD). In enterotoxigenic type A isolates, the cpe gene is found on the chromosome in food poisoning isolates, but is present on a large virulence plasmid in AAD and SD type A isolates. Food poisoning cases typically exhibit shorter duration of infection and less severe GI symptoms than AAD or SD. Since previous epidemiological evidence has linked the newly di

Résumé :
Ph.D.<br>It has become an accepted fact that Coronary Heart Disease is an epidemic of modern civilisation. Coronary Heart Disease is responsible for approximately a third of all deaths in the Western world (Fullard, 1990) and South Africa is no exception. Several risk factors contributing to the development of heart disease have been identified but the extent and exact nature of their contribution is not fully understood. Traditionally accepted risk factors that play a role in the development of Coronary Heart Disease include diet, hypertension, hypercholestrolaemia, smoking, physical inactivi
