Characterization of yeast exopolysaccharides
Sebjørnsen, Cathrine Nilsen (Master thesis, 2019)In this thesis a method for quantification of the exopolysaccharides (EPS) of the yeast cell wall (YCW) has been under development. Such a method will be of interest for the research on the use of yeast in aquafeed to take ... -
CNash - A novel parameter predicting cake solids of dewatered digestates
Svennevik, Oda Marie Kjørlaug; Beck, Greeley; Rus, Ester; Westereng, Bjørge; Higgins, Matthew; Solheim, Odd Egil; Nilsen, Pål Jahre; Horn, Svein Jarle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Efficient digestate dewatering is crucial to reduce the volume and transportation cost of solid residues from anaerobic digestion (AD) plants. Large variations in dewatered cake solids have been reported and predictive ... -

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 ... -
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 ... -
