Characterization of quinolone resistant Escherichia coli from broilers with focus on plasmidmediated quinolone resistance
(Master thesis, 2018)Widespread use of antimicrobial agents has generated antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among bacteria. The occurrence of AMR in Norwegian broiler production is low in a European and a global perspective and this is probably ... -
Characterization of signalling networks in ovarian cancer cells
(Master thesis, 2014-08-06)Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynaecological diseases worldwide, and in Norway approximately 500 women die from this disease every year. Women with ovarian cancer often experience vague symptoms that can be ... -
Characterization of single cells from breast tumors with mutations implicated in treatment response
(Master thesis, 2023)Breast cancer has high tumor heterogeneity which can be challenging for individual patients. It is of importance to characterize the mutations in the tumors of breast cancer patients that affect the eradication of the ... -
Characterization of Streptococcus pneumoniae lacking the gene dacA, which encodes Penicillin Binding Protein 3 (PBP3)
(Master thesis, 2012-10-19) -
Characterization of TFPIalpha and TFPIbeta on Apoptosis and Growth in Breast Cancer Cells
(Master thesis, 2014-08-06) -
Characterization of TFPIalpha and TFPIbeta on growth, adhesion and migration in breast cancer cells
(Master thesis, 2014-08-04)Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a plasma serine protease inhibitor which contains three Kunitz-type protease inhibitor domains. TFPI can be transcribed into two main isoforms; TFPIα and TFPIβ by alternative ... -
Characterization of the biofilm forming ability of Listeria monocytogenes and evaluation of the TTC assay as a method to assess the effect of disinfectants on bioflm bacteria
(Master thesis, 2017)Food-borne diseases are a problem throughout the world, and knowledge about when and where the food is contaminated in the processing line is important to reduce the risk of illnesses. By the use of molecular typing methods ... -
Characterization of the microbiota composition associated with the hias continuous biofilm process
(Master thesis, 2018)Fosforrensing av avløpsvann er essensielt for å unngå eutrofiering som forstyrrer økosystem i overflatevann. Den vanligste behandlingsprosessen har vært kjemisk utfelling. Ulemper med denne prosessen, derimot, er at fosfor ... -
Characterization of the multi-modular family 20-β-N-Acetylhexosaminidase (chitobiase) from Serratia Marcescens
(Master thesis, 2011-09-06)The aim of this study was to clone and characterize the N-acetylhexosaminidase (Chitobiase) from the soil bacterium Serratia marcescens. This enzyme is part of the chitinolytic machinery of S. marcescens, a Gram-negative ... -
Characterization of the penicillin-binding proteins in Streptococcus oralis Uo5
(Master thesis, 2017)In the search for new antibiotics the mechanism behind cell division has been studied for decades. The extensive use of antibiotics has led to the development of resistant bacteria, a problem that has become a global threat. ... -
Characterization of the protein complex EloR-KhpA-MltG, which controls cell elongation in Streptococcus pneumoniae
(Master thesis, 2021)Streptococci are ovococci shaped Gram-positive bacteria which are typically arranged in pairs or chains. Streptococcus pneumoniae is recognized as a human pathogen which can cause disease that ranges from middle ear ... -
Characterization of the two novel Lactiplantibacillus pentosus strains KW1 and KW2, and exploration of their ability to surface display a Mycobacterium tuberculosis hybrid antigen
(Master thesis, 2023)Many lactic acid bacteria are natural inhabitants of the human gut and are considered safe for human consumption. Food-grade lactic acid bacteria from the genus Lactiplantibacillus are generally tolerant to highly acidic ... -
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 ... -
ChIP-seq analysis of AIRE, FEZF2 and DEAF1 transcription factors in human thymus tissue
(Master thesis, 2020)Autoimmune diseases develop as a consequence of incorrect establishment of self-tolerance. A key element in this process is the presentation of tissue-restricted antigens (TRA) by medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) ... -
Choice Behavior in the Honeybee (Apis mellifera) in a T-Maze Assay
(Master thesis, 2011-08-25)Abstract The study of eusocial insects such as honeybees (Apis mellifera) has seen advancements in recent decades. This study offers a contribution to the understanding of choice behavior in honeybees, by conducting ... -
Classification and quantification of the contents of fishmeal using hash-based classification algorithms on metagenomic sequence data
