Characterisation of miRNA variation in Small RNA-Seq data
(Master thesis, 2022)Evidence suggests that miRNA signatures could have clinical applications as biomarkers for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. In standard analyses, miRNAs are considered to exist as well-defined features with a precise ... -
Characterisation of nonpolar compounds from Electronic cigarette aerosols by GC-MS
(Master thesis, 2018)Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are nicotine delivering systems without combustion. By inhaling an aerosolised liquid, e-liquid, the user can stimulate nicotine cravings. The e-liquid contains humectants, propylene ... -
Characterization and engineering of the thermo-stability of the chitin binding protein CBP21 from Serratia marcescens
(Master thesis, 2011-11-18)Denne masteroppgaven beskriver funksjonen og stabiliteten til CBM33 proteiner. Tidligere ble disse proteinene definert som ”Karbohydrat Bindende moduler” eller “Carbohydrate-Binding Modules”, men disse modulene har vist ... -
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 a Glycoside hydrolase family 50 member PaGH50A from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and exploring the enzyme’s potential in modulating biofilm formation
(Master thesis, 2022)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that causes acute and chronic lung infections in individuals with compromised immune systems. The bacterium is wide spread in the environment and especially persistent ... -
Characterization of a Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenase from Schizophyllum commune belonging to Auxiliary Activity Family 9
(Master thesis, 2022)Biomass is a promising feedstock to reduce our dependence on fossil reserves. By using biomass, such as lignocellulose, products can be produced more climate-friendly and are therefore of large industrial interest. Biomass ... -
Characterization of a novel cell wall binding domain of the fratricin CbpD from Streptococcus dysgalactiae
(Master thesis, 2022)The Streptococcus genus contains a large variety of species across seven subgroups. The lesser-known Streptococcus dysgalactiae of the pyogenic group is both a human and an animal pathogen and is subsequently divided into ... -
Characterization of a novel multi-bacteriocin gene cluster from Streptococcus uberis
(Master thesis, 2022)Bovine mastitis is a common disease among dairy cattle and causes large economic losses worldwide as a result of low yield and poor quality of milk. Antibiotics have long been used to treat dairy cattle from mastitis, but ... -
Characterization of a thermostable exolytic alginate lyase from hot vents in the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge
(Master thesis, 2019)Verdens behov for petroleumsprodukter øker stadig, men minkende oljereserver og miljøproblemer gjør at det bør prioriteres utvikling og bruk av alternative, fornybare ressurser. Bioraffinering dreier seg om å bruke biomasse ... -
Characterization of cellulases involved in a novel cellulolytic mechanism linked to the Bacteroidetes Type IX Secretion System
(Master thesis, 2017)Lignocellulose is the most abundant biomass on earth and has a great potential as a source for sustainable production of valuable chemicals and biofuels. Today’s depletion of fossil fuel reserves and pollution from their ... -
Characterization of cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli from Norwegian broiler production
(Master thesis, 2018)Recently, extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli with a new genotype (blaCTX-M-1) emerged in the Norwegian broiler production pyramid. Occurrence of ESBL-producing bacteria such as E. coli is a global ... -
Characterization of conjugative plasmids in the gut microbiota from a preterm twin pair
(Master thesis, 2017)The increasing spread of antibiotic resistance genes is becoming one of the most challenging issues for human health worldwide. The human gut holds a very high density of bacteria, which allows high rates of gene transmissions ... -
Characterization of cytostatic drug responses and signaling aberrations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
(Master thesis, 2016-08-09)Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a heterogeneous disease with variable clinical courses. The disease is incurable, but a third to half of the patients may never need treatment. For those who need treatment, the options ... -
Characterization of Escherichia coli AlkB homologue 1
(Master thesis, 2010-12-23)The DNA molecule is exposed to alkylating agents produced endogenously and in the environment. Cells have therefore developed several responses to alkylating damage including direct repair by oxidative demethylation. The ... -
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 ... -
Characterization of immune cells in non-small cell lung cancer
