(Master thesis, 2023)Abstract Despite emerging evidence showing the connection between health and gut microbiota, there is still much unknown. Previous research has examined the ability of the common gut bacteria Bacteroides spp. to degrade ... -
Bruk av Liquid array diagnostics teknologien for å evaluere oral mikrobiota i en diagnostisk setting
(Master thesis, 2023)En balansert oral mikrobiota er viktig for å opprettholde oral og generell helse. Svekkelse av mikrobiell homeostase kan føre til en dysbiotisk tilstand i munnen. Det er blitt stadig mer anerkjent at oral mikrobiota har ... -
Deciphering the Mechanistic Nuance of LPMOs: The Critical Role of Second Sphere Glutamine/Glutamate Residue and Electron Donors
(Master thesis, 2023)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are crucial copper-dependent redox enzymes renowned for ability to oxidize recalcitrant polysaccharides, such as cellulose and chitin. Although they possess significant ... -
Analyse av mRNA i rettsgenetisk sammenheng
(Master thesis, 2023)Helt siden 1980-tallet, har DNA fra biologisk åstedsmateriale blitt brukt til å identifisere berørte i ulike straffesaker (1). Alle individer har et unikt genmateriale og dermed også en unik DNA-profil. Dette kan utnyttes ... -
Exploration of the plastic-binding potential of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases
(Master thesis, 2023)Lytiske polysakkaridmonooksygenaser (LPMO-er) er enkelt-kopper enzymer som besitter en unik egenskap til å oksidere krystallinske overflater av motstandsdyktige polysakkarider som er utilgjengelige for konvensjonelle ... -
Impact of nutrients on sediment microorganism composition and cobalamin activity in a marine microcosm pollution experiment
(Master thesis, 2023)Mikroorganismer spiller avgjørende roller for å opprettholde liv i det marine økosystemet, som remineralisering av organisk materiale, karbonbinding, og resirkulering og produksjon av næringsstoffer. Imidlertid kan den ... -
Competitive patterns among strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae on plate and in broth
(Master thesis, 2023)Den menneskelige tarmmikrobiotaen spiller en viktig rolle i å forme vertens helse. Allerede i spedbarnsfasen koloniseres tarmen av mange bakteriearter, og sosiale interaksjoner mellom dem påvirker bakteriesammensetningen. ... -
Investigating the effects of methanol on ammonia-oxidising archaea in marine sediment microcosms
(Master thesis, 2023)Ammonia-oxidising archaea (AOA) are dominant in nutrient-scarce marine sediments and are important primary producers sustaining the activity of other microorganisms. They are also assumed to be globally important producers ... -
