Fermentation and downstream processing of yeast for production of single-cell proteins and exopolysaccharides
Brusletten, Mari (Master thesis, 2019)Yeasts are known to be sources of highly quality proteins and exopolysaccharides (EPS). The main goal in this study was to produce and process yeasts of biotechnological interest to investigate whether these species can ... -
Forsøk på syntese av noen fenoliske glykosider
Løndal, Kristian Molvær (Master thesis, 2020)Det er påvist at noen glykosylerte fenoler har prebiotiske effekter. I denne oppgaven ble syntese av 4-formyl-2-metoksifenyl-D-glukopyranosid fra D-glukose og vanillin forsøkt utført ved fem ulike lineære synteseveier. ... -
Gene cloning, purification and characterization of novel hemicellulases for production of tailor made prebiotics and biochemicals
Lindstad, Lars Jordhøy (Master thesis, 2019)The human gut contains billions of microbes which play a key role in human health. They provide us with important short-chain fatty acids, like butyrate, through the fermentation of dietary fibers. A disruption in the gut ... -

The human gut Firmicute Roseburia intestinalis is a primary degrader of dietary β-mannans
Leanti La Rosa, Sabina; Leth, Maria Louise; Michalak, Leszek; Hansen, Morten Ejby; Pudlo, Nicholas; Glowacki, Robert; Pereira, Gabriel; Workman, Christopher; Arntzen, Magnus Øverlie; Pope, Phillip; Martens, Eric C.; Hachem, Maher Abou; Westereng, Bjørge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)β-Mannans are plant cell wall polysaccharides that are commonly found in human diets. However, a mechanistic understanding into the key populations that degrade this glycan is absent, especially for the dominant Firmicutes ... -
Isolation and characterisation of bioactive components from Saccharina latissima and Alaria esculenta and their effect on proliferation and migration of intestinal epithelial cells (RTgutGC) in vitro
Oma, Ida Steine (Master thesis, 2018)The human population is projected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050. This means increased demand for food, pharmaceuticals and feed for fish and farm animals. There is a high focus on meeting these demands by developing novel ... -
Isolation and Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles Secreted In Vitro by Porcine Microbiota
Lagos, Leidy; La Rosa, Sabina Leanti; Arntzen, Magnus Øverlie; Ånestad, Ragnhild; Terrapon, Nicolas; Gaby, John Christian; Westereng, Bjørge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The secretion of extracellular vesicles, EVs, is a common process in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells for intercellular communication, survival, and pathogenesis. Previous studies have illustrated the presence of EVs ... -

In this context, we have tailored an acetylated galactoglucomannan ... -
Modern sour beer production : mixed fermentations with yeast and lactic acid bacteria
Dysvik, Anna (PhD Thesis;2019:104, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Traditional sour beers are produced by spontaneous, mixed fermentations where numerous yeast and bacterial species are involved. One of the traits that separate sour beers from other beers is the high concentration of ... -
Optimalisering av enzymatisk proteinhydrolyse av restråstoff fra atlantisk torsk (Gadus morhua)
Hovig, Frida Wilberg (Master thesis, 2021)Enzymatisk proteinhydrolyse (EPH) er en mye brukt og godt kjent metode for å produsere bærekraftige proteinrike produkter fra restråstoff fra matindustrien. Dagens metoder for EPH baserer seg hovedsakelig på bruk av en ... -
