The impact of a structurally conserved second sphere residue in lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase catalysis
(Master thesis, 2022)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are redox enzymes that enhance the degradation of recalcitrant polysaccharides available in biomass. Understanding the catalytic mechanism of LPMOs is of supreme importance in ... -
The roles of conserved second sphere residues in lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase catalysis
(Master thesis, 2022)The demand for sustainable and renewable options to generate energy and materials is increasing as we become more aware of the environmental impact of a petroleum-based economy. Biomass may be employed as a sustainable ... -
Factors associated with host DNA methylation in infant stool
(Master thesis, 2022)DNA methylation plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression. There are several factors that can affect DNA methylation, with a complex interplay between the different mechanisms. The maturation of the ... -
Genomanalyse av Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium i Norge
(Master thesis, 2022)Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhimurium, referred to as S. Typhimurium in this master`s thesis, is one of the most common pathogenic serovariants of Salmonella spp. S. Typhimurium has been isolated in ... -
Validering av GC-Orbitrap for FAME, FAEE og FAPE analyse
(Master thesis, 2022)Etter at det i mange år har vært forsket på lipider ved bruk av GC-FID, GC-MS med sektorinstrument og med kvadrupol har det nå på laboratoriet vårt blitt byttet inn en GC-MS med orbitrap. I sammenheng med dette er målet ... -
Optimalization of synthesis of FAME, FAEE, FAPE and FABE for analysis with GC-FID and GC-Orbitrap
(Master thesis, 2022)Fatty acids are an important part of our diet and is mainly consumed in the form of fat. The most widely used technique for analysis of FA composition is by GC-FID and GC-MS. To analyse a FA profile, it is necessary to ... -
Implementing sustainable meals at Norwegian Folk High Schools : a qualitative study of barriers and opportunities
(Master thesis, 2022)Due to health concerns and climate change, a dietary shift towards less meat and more plant-based foods is necessary. More knowledge is needed to make such a dietary shift successfully. This thesis investigates the barriers ... -
Evolution of alternative splice variation and exon usage following whole genome duplication
(Master thesis, 2022)Whole genome duplication and alternative splicing are two mechanisms that contribute to protein diversity. Whole genome duplication doubles the genetic material in an organism, providing raw material for adaptation and ... -
Dietary influence on intestinal microbiota and immune responses in mice : roles of high-fat diet and reactive oxygen species (ROS)
(PhD Thesis;2020:60, Doctoral thesis, 2020)The gastrointestinal tract harbors trillions of bacteria. Host and microbiota co-evolved in a mutualism relationship with a certain degree of dependency, where the host provides a nutrient-rich environment and benefits ... -
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 ... -
Karakterisering av Fusiformicin : et nytt antimikrobielt stoff med aktivitet mot Streptococcus pneumoniae
(Master thesis, 2022)Antibiotikaresistens regnes som et av de største problemene som verden står ovenfor i dag i forhold til global helse, matsikkerhet og utvikling. Det arbeides med å finne nye antibiotika med aktivitet mot bakterier som ... -
Establishment of a CD4+ naïve T cell cultivation and stimulation protocol for future studies of cellular responses in rheumatoid arthritis
(Master thesis, 2022)Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease that primarily causes inflammation in the synovial membrane of joints in the body. It is a multifactorial disease that involves a combination of genetic, epigenetic, ... -
Functional insights into novel factors affecting cell division in Gram-positive bacteria
(PhD Thesis;2021:91, Doctoral thesis, 2021)The opportunistic pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is a major contributor to a range of different infections in human and animals that have become difficult to treat because of the rise of antibiotic resistant strains. New ... -
Student's learning preferences and perception of mathematics : how different cognitive types view contrasting approaches to statistics education
(Master thesis, 2022)The Big-Four is a popular typology used to assess behavior through categorical means, and it’s four dichotomous dimensions have been found to associate with the cognitive patterns of individuals. Analyses have found that ... -
Development of a CRISPR/Cas9 editing system for antigen knock-in in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum WCFS1
(Master thesis, 2022)Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used in food products for hundreds of years and are commonly used in food fermentation, therapeutics, and for health promotion. They are “Generally Recognized as Safe”, have excellent ... -
Characterization of a novel cell wall binding domain of the fratricin CbpD from Streptococcus dysgalactiae
