Spatial composition and development of biofilms from the HIAS biological phosphorus removal plant
(Master thesis, 2019)Phosphorus is one of the most important components in fertilizer and is almost exclusively sourced from phosphate rock. Phosphate rock is mined at higher rate than new deposits are being formed and peak phosphorus is ... -
Spread and persistence of antibiotic resistance genes in the honeybee gut microbiota
(PhD Thesis;2018:26, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Bacteria residing in the gut – the gut microbiota (GM) – are important for host health. Several parallels between the human and honeybee GM exist: i) the GM is host specific (core microbiota), ii) age dependent development ... -
The stabilization effect of DNA polymerase on DNA duplexes
(Master thesis, 2020)This study is based upon previous observations of DNA polymerase stabilizing DNA duplexes. With the presence of DNA duplexes and DNA polymerases in many experimental methods in modern biotechnology, it is important to gain ... -
Stammespesifikk karakterisering av mikrobiota hos mødre og barn
(Master thesis, 2014-07-31)En identifikasjon på art og stammenivå vil kunne gi utfyllende taksonomisk informasjonen utover den som allerede eksisterer basert på 16S rRNA genet. Denne informasjonen kan brukes til å gi et dypere innblikk i den bakterielle ... -
Standardiserte pasientforløp, preoperativ liggetid og risiko for infeksjon i operasjonsområdet ved primære hofteproteser i Norge
(Master thesis, 2016-09-06)Bakgrunn: Standardiserte pasientforløp (SPF) hvor operasjon på innleggelsesdagen (dag 0) inngår, er innført for å bedre kvalitet og redusere kostnader. Infeksjon etter opphold i helseinstitusjon, såkalte helsetjenesteassosiert ... -
Staphylococcus aureus from milk and milk products in Ethiopia : prevalence, enterotoxigenic potential, antibiotic resistance and spa types
(PhD Thesis;2016:48, Doctoral thesis, 2017-12-12)Milk production in Ethiopia is increasing. However, due to unhygienic and traditional milk production and processing practices the issue of milk safety remains a challenge. If these safety issues are not properly addressed, ... -
Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms : in vitro characterization and development of an antibiotic-free treatment
(Master thesis, 2022)The emerging opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis has evolved to be one of the leading causes of nosocomial surgical sites-, blood- and medical device-related infections. Its ability to form biofilms on both ... -
Statistical methods for match probabilities with applications to Y chromosome data
(Master thesis, 2016-08-10)Accurate estimates of Y-STR haplotype frequencies is an interesting problem in itself, but is especially important in forensic genetics, where the frequencies are used to calculate the likelihood ratio (LR) for the evidential ... -
Statistiske beregninger i forbindelse med DNA-basert identifikasjon ved massekatastrofer
(Master thesis, 2014-10-03)Disaster victim identification is a part of family genetics in forensic science, and to identify missing persons by kinship analysis, DNA evidence is used. Identification of missing persons can be performed either by a ... -
Stress responses of Listeria monocytogenes to antimicrobial substances from lactic acid bacteria : an explorative study
(PhD Thesis;2011:02, Doctoral thesis, 2011)Listeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive bacterium that causes severe and life threatening disease both in humans and animals. Due to the severity of the disease and the fact that the bacterium is responsible for considerable ... -
Structural and functional characterization of NcLPMO9C : a broad-specificity lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase
(PhD Thesis;2017:93, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Lignocellulose represents a major source of renewable organic matter and is of interest as feedstock for the biorefining industry, not only as a promising strategy for replacing fossil fuels in the transportation sector ... -
Structural characterization of lignin and some side-products from steam-exploded woody biomass
(PhD Thesis;2018:91, Doctoral thesis, 2018)The main objective of this thesis was to make a platform of libraries for characterization of lignin and other side-products after steam-explosion. The complete and effective utilization of renewable biomass will be ... -
Structure of Native Copper Nitrite Reductase from Alcaligenes faecalis and the Active Site Mutants Asp98Glu and Asp98His
(Master thesis, 2023)Copper-dependent nitrite reductase from Alcaligenes faecalis (Cu-AfNiR) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of nitrite into nitric oxide. A highly conserved residue, Asp98, in the Type-2 Cu active site, is the proton ... -
