Thesis
WEST, J.E. 2024. Advancing sepsis treatment: synthesis and evaluation of multi-target drugs with antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticoagulant properties. Robert Gordon University, MRes thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2795403

Sepsis is a complex disease that affects individuals of all ages but is particularly dangerous for vulnerable populations, such as newborns, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. It is triggered by infection, leading to hyperinflammatio...

An investigation into the biodegradation of peptide cyanotoxins (microcystins and nodularin) by novel gram-positive bacteria. (2012)
Thesis
WELGAMAGE DON, A.C.D. 2012. An investigation into the biodegradation of peptide cyanotoxins (microcystins and nodularin) by novel gram-positive bacteria. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Cyanobacterial secondary metabolites, microcystins (MC) and nodularin (NOD) have become common contaminants in most aquatic ecosystems over recent years presenting a hazard to animal and human health. Unfortunately, these chemically diverse peptide h... Read More about An investigation into the biodegradation of peptide cyanotoxins (microcystins and nodularin) by novel gram-positive bacteria..
