Characterization of expansin-like proteins from the plant pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici
(Master thesis, 2024)Kravet om å øke matproduksjonen for en voksende menneskelig befolkning på en bærekraftig måte samtidig som man håndterer problemer som matavfall og fattigdom forblir en betydelig global utfordring. Klimaendringer har vist ... -
Exploiting tumour glycosylation for the personalised immunotherapy of breast cancer
(Master thesis, 2024)Til tross for en stadig større forståelse av kreft genomet, er det fortsatt et betydelig gap i forståelsen av de fullstendige egenskapene til kreft glykomer og glykoproteom. Glykaner spiller en avgjørende rolle i essensielle ... -
Å undersøke hvordan TFEB påvirker NAD+ regulert i livtilstand og helsetilstand hos C. elegans
(Master thesis, 2024)Alderdom er argumentertbart den største riskfaktoren for ordinære sykdommer som kreft, diabetes, og nevrodegenerative sykdommer. Vi trer inn i et aldrende samfunn som bringer formidable sosioøkonomiske utfordringer. Det ... -
Exploring the link between RseP and susceptibility to the bacteriocin H1 in Staphylococcus aureus
(Master thesis, 2024)Antimicrobial resistance is an escalating concern in today's interconnected world, with Staphylococcus aureus emerging as one of the primary causative pathogens. S. aureus is a common opportunistic pathogen found within ... -
Discovery and characterization of novel gellan gum degrading bacteria and enzymes
(Master thesis, 2024)Carbohydrates play essential roles in living organisms, ranging from simple monosaccharides, such as glucose and fructose, to complex polysaccharides, like starch and glycogen. Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are carbohydrates ... -
Unveiling the Potential of Norwegian Fungi: Exploring LDPE Biodegradation for Sustainable Plastic Waste Management
(Master thesis, 2024)I denne studien dykker vi inn i biodegraderingsprosessen for å undersøke om sopp har mulighet til å bryte ned plastik, siden tidligere studier har vist lovene resultater. I 2020 gjennomførte NORCE en studie der de ... -
Yeast as single cell protein - optimization of medium compositions and process parameters
(Master thesis, 2024)There is an increasing global demand for protein, due to an increased aging population and changing diets favouring increased consumption of animal protein. Using agriculture to produce animal protein requires large areas ... -
Method development for the extraction of six bisphenols in serum by LC-MS/MS
(Master thesis, 2024)Bisphenols are a class of chemicals characterized by two phenol groups bonded to a carbon chain or other chemical groups. These chemical substances are applied in everyday products such as plastics, canned goods, thermal ... -
Use of microcosm experiments to investigate the genetic potential for methylotrophic methanogenesis in marine sediments
(Master thesis, 2024)Wastewater treatment plants often use methanol to drive denitrification for nitrogen removal. This can lead to excess methanol reaching water bodies through the effluent discharge. This excess methanol can stimulate ... -
Effekt av homogenisering og pasteurisering på fordøyelse av lipider i melk, ved bruk av GC-FID – en in vitro studie
(Master thesis, 2024)Melk er en god kilde til essensielle næringsstoffer, og har i mange århundre vært en del av det humane kostholdet i den vestlige verden, spesielt i Norge. Strengere krav til mattrygghet, kvalitet og forbrukeraksept har ... -
Improving sparsity and interpretability of latent binary Bayesian neural networks by introducing input-skip connections
(Master thesis, 2024)Being able to model natural phenomena using mathematical equations has been a major success story for researchers. Among various sophisticated methods, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have proven to be powerful models ... -
Factors Influencing Butyrate Producers in the Gut Microbiota of Infants: A Comparative Analysis of Diet and Environment
(Master thesis, 2024)Mellom 6 og 12 måneder øker butyratkonsentrasjonen betydelig hos spedbarn, noe som indikerer en endring i tarmfloraen mot en mer voksen sammensetning. Flere faktorer spiller en rolle i denne endringen, inkludert diett og ... -
