CAAX-proteiner og sekresjon av virulensfaktorer i Streptococcus pneumoniae
(Master thesis, 2018)CAAX amino-terminal protease familien (heretter omtalt som CAAX-proteiner), består av antatt membranbundne metallproteaser. Dette er proteiner som finnes i både eukaryote- og prokaryote celler, men deres funksjon i prokaryote ... -
Calorie and protein restriction in mammals : a review and comparison on respect to aging
(Master thesis, 2016-11-21)Calorie restriction (CR), a 10-50% (typically 30%) reduction in calorie intake with adequate nutrients, is the most widely accepted intervention to delay aging and increase lifespan in many model organisms. Recently, there ... -
Can oral administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exaggerate metabolic effects and inflammation imposed by a Western diet in mice?
(Master thesis, 2019)A Western diet is an energy dense and nutrient poor diet associated with low-grade inflammatory consequences and is implicated in causing a range of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) including obesity and diabetes type 2 ... -
Cancer-related miRNAs like let-7 and miR-21 are already differentially expressed in benign tumours
(Master thesis, 2010-12-23)MikroRNA (miRNA) er små, ikke-kodende RNA som spiller en essensiell rolle i reguleringen av genuttrykk. Denne studien ble utført for å analysere miRNA uttrykk profiler i godartete svulster, ondartete svulster og normalt ... -
Carbohydrate utilization and short chain fatty acid production in Bifidobacteria
(Master thesis, 2019)In the first stage of life infants go through rapid growth and development and have high nutritional needs. During this first 6 months of life breast milk is considered to provide a complete postnatal nutrition. Positive ... -
Cecum microbiota in mice affected by selenium level in diet
(Master thesis, 2014-08-13)Selenium (Se) level in diet has been seen to affect gastrointestinal microbiota in mice, and microbiota has been seen to affect the uptake and expression of Se and selenoproteins. In this study, cecum from mice fed ... -
Cell-shape regulation in Streptococcus pneumoniae : EloR/KhpA, a new regulatory pathway administering cellelongation
(PhD Thesis;2020:36, Doctoral thesis, 2020)The oval shaped Streptococcus pneumoniae utilizes both septal and peripheral peptidoglycan (PG) synthesis in order to maintain its shape. The protein complexes responsible for synthesizing PG are called the elongasome and ... -
Celleveggankring av Mycobacterium tuberculosis-antigener på overflaten til Lactobacillus plantarum
(Master thesis, 2020)Denne oppgaven er en del av et større forskningsprosjekt hvor det langsiktige målet er å utvikle en slimhinnevaksine mot tuberkulose, hvor melkesyrebakterier benyttes som leveringsvektor av antigener. Melkesyrebakterier ... -
Cellulære parametere for påvisning av metabolsk stress
(Master thesis, 2011-11-18)Unfolded protein respons (UPR) er en cellulær stressrespons som blir aktivert dersom endoplasmatisk retikulum (ER) blir utsatt for stress i form av ufoldede proteiner. Dersom mengden ufoldede proteiner er høyere enn ... -
Characterisation of a Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenase from Aspergillus fumigatus belonging to Auxiliary Activity Family 11
(Master thesis, 2019)Studies with lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) in recent years have shown promising results in the enzyme’s ability to degrade recalcitrant carbohydrate biomass, a crucial property in future biomass utilization ... -
Characterisation of miRNA variation in Small RNA-Seq data
(Master thesis, 2022)Evidence suggests that miRNA signatures could have clinical applications as biomarkers for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. In standard analyses, miRNAs are considered to exist as well-defined features with a precise ... -
Characterisation of nonpolar compounds from Electronic cigarette aerosols by GC-MS
(Master thesis, 2018)Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are nicotine delivering systems without combustion. By inhaling an aerosolised liquid, e-liquid, the user can stimulate nicotine cravings. The e-liquid contains humectants, propylene ... -
Characterization and engineering of the thermo-stability of the chitin binding protein CBP21 from Serratia marcescens
(Master thesis, 2011-11-18)Denne masteroppgaven beskriver funksjonen og stabiliteten til CBM33 proteiner. Tidligere ble disse proteinene definert som ”Karbohydrat Bindende moduler” eller “Carbohydrate-Binding Modules”, men disse modulene har vist ... -
Characterization and genetic investigations of the mitochondrial DNA from poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae
(Master thesis, 2019)The poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae, is a global problem in the egg-laying industry. This ectoparasite has a rapid rate of proliferation with a negative impact on the birds’ health, welfare and productivity resulting ... -
Characterization of a Glycoside hydrolase family 50 member PaGH50A from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and exploring the enzyme’s potential in modulating biofilm formation
