Interaction studies of the Fusarium-wheat system : fungal-fungal and plant-pathogen interactions
(Master thesis, 2012-10-03)Abstract Different Fusarium species are the cause of Fusarium head blight in wheat and have been regarded as one of the most devastating crop pathogens in the world. Some Fusarium can produce mycotoxins that can ... -
Interaksjoner mellom kitooligosakkarider og kitinase B fra Serratia marcescens studert ved overflateplasmonresonans og isotermisk titreringskalorimetri.
(Master thesis, 2010-10-29)Hovedmålet i dette studiet var å sammenligne bruk av isotermisk titreringskalorimetri (ITC) og overflateplasmonresonans (SPR) ved bindingsstudier mellom KitinaseB(ChiB) og kitooligosakkarider (KOS) av ulik lengde. Det ... -
Interplay between LPMOs and cellulases during enzymatic degradation of cellulose : effects of time, lignin, light and substrate concentration
(PhD thesis;2024:33, Doctoral thesis, 2024)The recent discovery of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) marked a paradigm shift in our understanding of enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass. Under aerobic conditions, interactions between ... -
Investigating evolution of gene regulation with crossspecies comparative transcriptomics
(PhD Thesis;2017:101, Doctoral thesis, 2017)An essential ability of all lifeforms is to regulate the activity of its genes. This ability is what allows multicellular organisms to generate hundreds of completely different cells despite having the same genome. It is ... -
Investigating novel biomarkers for neonatal asphyxia in newborn piglets
(Master thesis, 2015-07-31)Perinatal asphyxia is a condition in neonates with reduced oxygen (hypoxia) and/or reduced perfusion (ischemia). Today, we lack good biomarkers to measure the degree of oxidative damage caused by perinatal asphyxia. This ... -
Investigating prevalence and geographical distribution of Mycoplasma sp. in the gut of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Master thesis, 2020)The fish gut microbiota has gotten considerable attention in recent years, and the microbes harboring the intestine of fish are thought to grant the host various effects related to size, metabolism, feeding behavior, and ... -
Investigating the effects of methanol on ammonia-oxidising archaea in marine sediment microcosms
(Master thesis, 2023)Ammonia-oxidising archaea (AOA) are dominant in nutrient-scarce marine sediments and are important primary producers sustaining the activity of other microorganisms. They are also assumed to be globally important producers ... -
Investigating the proliferative effects of seven vegetable-derived protein hydrolysates on bovine skeletal muscle cells
(Master thesis, 2022)The cultured meat industry is rapidly growing and secured 1.38 billion$ in investments for 2021. Up to 95% of the total production cost is tied to the use of fetal bovine serum. Therefore, the most pressing issue for the ... -
Investigating The Role of FOXO1 in the Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells towards Chondrodytes
(Master thesis, 2012-10-15)Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a profound potential in regenerative medicine. MSCs ability to differentiate into various tissue types in vitro provides a promising approach to tissue engineering and subsequently ... -
Investigating the Role of Methylation and Glycosylation in Protecting Fungal Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases from Auto-Oxidative Inactivation
(Master thesis, 2023)Global warming and the pending energy crisis pressure the search for effective utilization of renewable energy sources. Biomass has long been discussed to be such an energy source, but the recalcitrant constituents, such ... -
Investigation of active packaging methods to improve quality and shelf life of meat
(Master thesis, 2014-08-07)It is well known that Active packaging, like the use of modified atmosphere, gives an improved quality on fresh food products and extended shelf life. The need of active packaging is partly due to the increasing demand of ... -

An investigation of the interplay between in situ hydrogen peroxide production and catalytic efficiency in lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase reactions
(PhD thesis;2022:27, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are mono-copper enzymes that catalyze oxidative depolymerization of recalcitrant carbohydrate substrates, such as chitin and cellulose. LPMOs have received much attention from ... -
An investigation of the potential role of bacteriocins in the development of the infant gut microbiota
(Master thesis, 2022)The colonization of the infant gut microbiota is important for health and wellbeing later in life. This colonization is dependent on multiple factors, among others the competition between bacteria. Different strategies ... -
Investigation of the WNT and AKT/mTOR signaling pathways in early differentiation in embryonic stem cells
(Master thesis, 2016-07-27)Embryonic stem cells have a huge potential in the field of tissue engineering, biomedical research and regenerative medicine as they possess the capacity to generate every type of cell and tissue in the body. The ability ... -
Investigations into the cellular localization of the mismatch repair protein MutH
(Master thesis, 2014-02-11)The semiconservative replication of DNA in Escherichia coli (E. coli) gives rise to hemimetylated GATC sites behind the replication forks. Three proteins have been shown to bind to such sites; the negative regulator of ... -
