Characterization of cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli from Norwegian broiler production
(Master thesis, 2018)Recently, extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli with a new genotype (blaCTX-M-1) emerged in the Norwegian broiler production pyramid. Occurrence of ESBL-producing bacteria such as E. coli is a global ... -
Characterization of chromatin-bound interactome of cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12)
(Master thesis, 2020)Proper gene expression relies on control by an abundant number of factors and mechanisms, and the orchestration of these fine-tuned programs is fundamental in cellular functionality. Transcription regulation by RNA polymerase ... -
Characterization of Computational Pipelines for Structural Variant Detection Using Short-Read Sequencing Data in Arctic Charr.
(Master thesis, 2023)Structural variants (SVs) are an important emerging class of genomic variation with pivotal implications for evolution, adaptation, and phenotypic diversity. As a cold-water salmonid fish displaying extensive niche variation ... -
Characterization of conjugative plasmids in the gut microbiota from a preterm twin pair
(Master thesis, 2017)The increasing spread of antibiotic resistance genes is becoming one of the most challenging issues for human health worldwide. The human gut holds a very high density of bacteria, which allows high rates of gene transmissions ... -
Characterization of cytostatic drug responses and signaling aberrations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
(Master thesis, 2016-08-09)Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a heterogeneous disease with variable clinical courses. The disease is incurable, but a third to half of the patients may never need treatment. For those who need treatment, the options ... -
Characterization of degradation and heterozygote balance by simulation of the forensic DNA analysis process
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Simulation experiments were used to show the impact of varying extraction efficiency, aliquot proportion, and PCR efficiency on the heterozygote balance of a range of diploid and haploid cells. Reducing either parameters ... -
Characterization of early phases of cardiomyopathy syndrome pathogenesis in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) through various diagnostic methods
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022) -
Characterization of Escherichia coli AlkB homologue 1
(Master thesis, 2010-12-23)The DNA molecule is exposed to alkylating agents produced endogenously and in the environment. Cells have therefore developed several responses to alkylating damage including direct repair by oxidative demethylation. The ... -
Characterization of fatty acids in marine macroalgae by GC-MS
(Master thesis, 2019)The main objective of the study was to identify and quantify the fatty acids present in three distinct lipid fractions, namely neutral lipids, free fatty acids and polar lipids, in the macroalgae; Alaria esculenta, Saccharina ... -
Characterization of fecal lactic acid bacteria isolated from healthy Ethiopian infants : bacteriocin production and antibiotic suscepebility
(PhD Thesis;2011:55, Doctoral thesis, 2011)In this thesis lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from fecal samples of healthy Ethiopian infants, identified to species level, screened for bacteriocin production and tested for antibiotic susceptibility. Enterococci ... -
Characterization of Functional Physical Properties of The Dry Pet Food Manufactured with Animal, Plant, and Microalgae Ingredients
(Master thesis, 2021)The aim of the thesis is to gain better understanding on the effects of defatted microalgae biomass (Desmodesmus sp.), vital wheat gluten and potato protein on physical qualities of extruded dry pet food. Two experiments ... -
Characterization of genes and proteins related to chitin metabolism in Atlantic salmon
(PhD Thesis;2022:46, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Chitin is an insoluble polysaccharide and important component in the extracellular matrix of invertebrates such as arthropods, algae, and fungi. In vertebrates, the role and significance of chitin have not been deeply ... -
Characterization of genes and gene products influencing carotenoid metabolism in Atlantic salmon
(PhD Thesis;2017:36, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Distinct red flesh color is a unique trait of the fish genera Oncorhynchus, Salvelinus, Salmo and Parahucho. In this thesis we have investigated its molecular basis in Atlantic salmon to better understand how and why it ... -
Characterization of gonadotropin receptors Fshr and Lhr in Japanese medaka, Oryzias latipes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Reproduction in vertebrates is controlled by the brain-pituitary-gonad axis, where the two gonadotropins follicle-stimulating hormone (Fsh) and luteinizing hormone (Lh) play vital parts by activating their cognate receptors ... -
Characterization of heteropathogenic and multidrugresistant (MDR) bacterial isolates from clinical and environmental sources using combined nanopore and next-generation sequencing technologies
(Doctoral thesis, 2020)Escherichia coli (E. coli) are usually harmless commensals that colonize the gastrointestinal tract of humans and other warm-blooded mammals. However, pathogenic counterparts have acquired virulence associated genes (VAGs) ... -
Characterization of humoral immune response to pancreas disease virus (SAV-3) following immunization with whole inactivated virus vaccines and DNA vaccines
(Master thesis, 2022)ABSTRACT Salmonid alphavirus type-3 (SAV-3) is the causative agent of pancreas disease (PD) in Atlantic salmon. It is associated with significant economic losses to the aquaculture industry. Vaccines can overcome losses ... -
