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 ... -
Characterization of fatty acids in marine macroalgae by GC-MS
(Master thesis, 2019)The main objective of the study was to identify and quantify the fatty acids present in three distinct lipid fractions, namely neutral lipids, free fatty acids and polar lipids, in the macroalgae; Alaria esculenta, Saccharina ... -
Kvalitet av mysepermeatpulver : effekt av utvalgte prosessparametre og variasjon i sammensetning av mysepermeat
(Master thesis, 2019)Mysepermeat er et biprodukt ifra myseproteinpulverproduksjonen, som i Norge blir videre prosessert til mysepermeatpulver. Industrielt opplever man en variasjon i kvaliteten på mysepermeatpulver, og det antas at dette kan ... -
Discovery, expression, and characterization of novel laccases derived from marine bacteria
(Master thesis, 2019)Lignocellulose is the most abundant biomass on Earth and is primarily composed of three organic polymers; cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Established technology exists to produce useful products such as fuels and ... -
Effects of a diet intervention on plasma lipopolysaccharide-binding protein in colorectal cancer patients
(Master thesis, 2019)Objective: Increased systemic level of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) is proposed to be a biomarker of increased gut permeability. The main objective of this master thesis was to investigate whether a one year ... -
A penicillin resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae in the making : characterizing resistance development and cell fitness after acquiring low-affinity penicillin-binding proteins and a mosaic MurM
(Master thesis, 2019)Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important human pathogen, causing about 100 millions of cases of disease and 1 – 2 million deaths every year. The rapid evolution and spread of multiresistant strains threaten current antibiotic ... -
Gene cloning, purification and characterization of novel hemicellulases for production of tailor made prebiotics and biochemicals
(Master thesis, 2019)The human gut contains billions of microbes which play a key role in human health. They provide us with important short-chain fatty acids, like butyrate, through the fermentation of dietary fibers. A disruption in the gut ... -
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 yeast exopolysaccharides
(Master thesis, 2019)In this thesis a method for quantification of the exopolysaccharides (EPS) of the yeast cell wall (YCW) has been under development. Such a method will be of interest for the research on the use of yeast in aquafeed to take ... -
Kvalitetsforandringer tidlig postharvest i brunalgen Saccharina latissima ved bruk av ulike lagringsmetoder
(Master thesis, 2019)Kultivering av makroalger er den raskest voksende sektoren innen akvakultur, makroalger har mange fordeler fremfor landvoksende planter, som en langt høyere vekstrate og bedre evne til å binde karbon. I tillegg vil dyrking ... -
The effect of chromatin structure on duplicate gene expression in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2019)The Atlantic salmon has gone through several WGD events and is left with almost half of its gene as duplicates. How expression differs in the duplicates is extra intriguing in regards to epigenetics. If the regulatory ... -
Amplicon clustering methods and the detection of core microbiota in honey bee gut
(Master thesis, 2019)Recent years decline in honey bee populations has lead to an increased interest in the study of their microbiota. In humans, a disturbance in the healthy gut microbiota is linked to several diseases, and because the ... -
Protein fractionation by microfiltration in high-protein yogurt processing
(PhD Thesis;2017:58, Doctoral thesis, 2017)The main objective of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate the optimization of the microfiltration (MF) process in the production of high-protein yogurts (≥ 5.6% protein). High-protein yogurts have gained ... -
Droplet digital PCR kvantifisering av fire kandidat sirkulerende miRNA hos kvinner med og uten høygradig cervikal intraepitelial neoplasi (CIN2+)
(Master thesis, 2019)Persisterende infeksjon med humant papillomavirus (HPV) kan føre til utvikling av forstadier til livmorhalskreft (cervikal intraepitelial neoplasi (CIN)) og livmorhalskreft. På verdensbasis er livmorhalskreft den tredje ... -
Effekt av hybridassembly på genomer med shuffloner og repeterte områder
(Master thesis, 2019)Antibiotikaresistens spres mest effektivt mellom bakterier via konjugasjon, men konjugasjon forutsetter at bakteriene binder seg godt nok til hverandre. IncI1-plasmidet er et konjugativt plasmid og inneholder et område ... -
Quantitative and qualitative analyses of cyanopeptides in crayfish using liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry
(Master thesis, 2019)Microcystins are hepatotoxic (liver toxic) heptapeptides produced by cyanobacteria. These compounds can occur in drinking water, recreational water and food originating from waterbodies. The compounds are highly toxic and ... -
