Applied and fundamental perspectives on brown-rot decay mechanisms
(PhD Thesis;2019:14, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Woody biomass is an important material for the growing bioeconomy, and has gained significant attention as a feedstock for second-generation biorefineries. Wood has traditionally been used as a building material for ... -
Funn av en kolistin-resistent bakterie, med en mulig induserbar klasse A-β-laktamase isolert fra utendørs miljø
(Master thesis, 2019)Background: The abuse of antibiotics has become a global issue which leads to the development and spread of antibiotic resistance (AR) bacteria in the environment. β-lactams are the most commonly used antibiotic group. ... -
Out of breath : entrapping the denitrifier Paracoccus denitrificans in anoxia and rescuing it by spikes of oxygen
(Master thesis, 2019)N2O er en dobbel fare, da det er en kraftig drivhusgass, og den største kjemiske svekkeren av ozonlaget som ikke er regulert av Montrèalprotokollen. Utslippene har økt på grunn av økt mikrobiell aktivitet som igjen skyldes ... -
Solvent-free quantification for selected volatile organics in Arctic air : application of thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry Lina Aarsbog
(Master thesis, 2019)Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are a group of human-made fluorinated organic chemicals, which have been used in the industry since the 1950s. The group holds a variety of structures, and the stable CF-bond makes them thermal and ... -
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 ... -
Antimicrobial resistance, virulence genes and biofilm forming abilities of Klebsiella spp. isolated from healthy domestic animals in Norway
(Master thesis, 2019)Klebsiella can be identified in several different environmental habitats, animals and humans. There are many different species and subspecies of Klebsiella, with Klebsiella pneumoniae being the most medically important ... -
Studying substrate specificity by site-directed mutagenesis of a novel lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase
(Master thesis, 2019)Cellulose and chitin are carbon-rich biopolymers which constitute the two largest biomass resources on earth. Conversion of these non-edible and renewable resources into useful products of value is essential to secure a ... -
Exploring host-microbiome interactions in Norwegian Salmon via weighted network analysis
(Master thesis, 2019)Invisible to the naked eye, but present everywhere. Microbial organisms live and reproduce in almost any conceivable environment on the planet. In recent years, researchers have started to gain quantified information of ... -
Review of potential entry and replication of human papillomaviruses in reproductive cells and possible correlations to health conditions
(Master thesis, 2019)Bakgrunn: Humant Papillomavirus (HPV) infiserer basale epitelceller i hud og slimhinner og i det siste er det fremmet hypotese om at HPV også kan smitte i ikke- epitelceller. Denne oversiktsstudien belyser omfanget av ... -
Synthesis towards thioridazine

Quorum sensing in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa regulates N2O reduction
(Master thesis, 2019)Through a process called denitrification, bacteria can respire with the use of as terminal electron acceptors instead of oxygen. An intermediate of the denitrification process, nitrous oxide (N2O), often escapes to the ... -
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 ... -
Salmon Gill Poxvirus Disease (SGPVD) i Atlantisk laks (salmo salar), sykdomsutvikling og genuttrykk hos virus og vert
(Master thesis, 2019)Salmon Gill Poxvirus Disease (SGPVD) er en gjellesykdom som er knyttet til høy dødelighet i lakseoppdrettsnæringen og som er ansett som en trussel mot fiskevelferden. Det mangler fortsatt grunnleggende kunnskap om viruset ... -
Recognizing plasmid-reads by machine learning and K-mer statistics
(Master thesis, 2019)The aim of this project was to investigate to what extent some machine learning methods are able to classify chromosome reads from plasmid reads based on K-mer statistics. Both short Illumina HiSeq 2500 reads and medium-length ... -
In vivo assessment of the gene encoding the membrane bound protease Eep, in virulence
(Master thesis, 2019)The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and the lack of innovation in developing new antibiotics has only emphasised the need to develop new antimicrobials. Therefore, research has focused on antimicrobials ... -
The role of the rseP gene in systemic infection of mice
(Master thesis, 2019)The group of antimicrobial substances collectively known as antibiotics is humanity's foremost weapon against a range of pathogenic bacteria but is also getting increasingly compromised with the rise of antibiotic resistance. ... -
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 ... -
Syntese mot 5S,6S-dihydroksyeikosapentaensyre og 5S,6S-dihydroksydokosaheksaensyre via stereoselektiv hydrolyse av de respektive epoksidene
(Master thesis, 2019)Studier har vist at oppløsning av inflammasjon er en biosyntetisk aktiv prosess, som er nøye regulert av flere superfamilier av oksygenerte PUFAer. Disse forbindelsene dannes endogent og betegnes som spesifikke pro-oppløsende ... -
