An investigation of wild-type P1 prophage induction
Ormaasen, Ida (Master thesis, 2019)The spread of antibiotic resistance genes is increasing, and the mechanisms involved need to be established. Connections between the temperate bacteriophage P1 and antibiotic resistance genes have been implied. Therefore, ... -
Associations in infant gut microbiota's taxonomic and inferred metabolic composition with immune cells at 12 months
Fredheim, Cecilie (Master thesis, 2020)Den menneskelige mage-tarmkanalen rommer et sammensatt og mangfoldig økologisk felleskap av kommensal tarmflora tett tilknyttet verten. Fra dyrestudier er det bevist at tarmfloraens komponenter og metabolitter er essensielle ... -
Associations of gut microbiota- and short-chain fatty acid composition during the first year of life with immune cells in one-year children
Jonsmoen, Unni Lise Albertsdóttir (Master thesis, 2020)Mikroorganismene i tarmen etablerer komplekse mutualistiske forhold til verten og spiller en viktig rolle i modningen av vertens immunsystem. Modningsprosessen påvirkes enten direkte av bakterielle komponenter eller indirekte ... -
Carbohydrate utilization and short chain fatty acid production in Bifidobacteria
Mielnicka, Kasia (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 ... -
Characterization of conjugative plasmids in the gut microbiota from a preterm twin pair
Hagbø, Mari Elisabeth Sørås (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 Lactic Acid Bacteria from infants gut with antimicrobial activity against Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG
Andersen, Amanda Morken (Master thesis, 2018)There are major individual differences in how the probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) colonizes the intestine of infants. Understanding these differences will be of great importance in relation to the use of ... -
Characterization of the microbiota composition associated with the hias continuous biofilm process
Goa, Inger Andrea Nesbø (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 ... -
Colonization of Bifidobacterium in the human infant gut
Killingstad, Madeleine-Emilie (Master thesis, 2021)The early bacterial flora and bacterial colonization of a human infant’s gut have been studied broadly over the years due to it being the key to the development of a healthy gut. Several of these studies have shown a ... -
Detection of fungi with Liquid Array Diagnostics in dysbiotic patients
Gulczynska, Zuzanna (Master thesis, 2019)Tarmmikrobiota dysbiose forbindes med diverse medisinske tilstander, inkludert inflammatorisk tarmsykdom (IBD) og irritabel tarmsyndrom (IBS). Som følge av mange år med omfattende forskning innen tarmmikrobiota, er noen ... -
Effect of microbial metabolites on mitochondrial function in colonocytes
Utheim, Karen Sivertsen (Master thesis, 2020)The colonocytes are the most abundant cell type in the colonic epithelium and function both as a barrier and a mediator between the human body and the components in the gut lumen, such as the microbiota and its metabolites. ... -
Effekt av hybridassembly på genomer med shuffloner og repeterte områder
Degnes, Maren-Helene Høie (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 ... -
Evaluation of Liquid Array Diagnostics for microbiota-based diagnosis of dysbiosis
Amlie, Katrine (Master thesis, 2018)The human gut contains a complex community of microorganisms that impact our health and general well-being. Based on observed microbial patterns, a balanced composition can be defined, known as normobiosis. Deviations from ... -
Evaluation of long-read Nanopore sequencing in genome studies
Strand, Thomas Dailey (Master thesis, 2017)The development of the latest generation of sequencing technologies, known as third-generation sequencing, has revolutionized sequence assembly due to long reads compared to the short reads of second-generation sequencing ... -
Factors associated with host DNA methylation in infant stool
Frøseth, Marianne Sundet (Master thesis, 2022)DNA methylation plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression. There are several factors that can affect DNA methylation, with a complex interplay between the different mechanisms. The maturation of the ... -
Gut microbiota and short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) composition the first year of life
Nilsen, Morten (Master thesis, 2018)The mutualistic relationship between humans and our gut microbiota is essential in immune development. The microbial colonization of the human GI tract starts prenatal and continues with facultative and strict anaerobes ... -
Gut microbiota and tumorigenesis in A/J min mice
Bråten, Line Skute (Master thesis, 2016-08-10)Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancer type worldwide. Mouse models are important tools in cancer research and the recently developed A/J Min+ mouse model has shown to develop a great amount of lesions in colon, ... -
Investigating prevalence and geographical distribution of Mycoplasma sp. in the gut of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
Raudstein, Mari (Master thesis, 2020)The fish gut microbiota has gotten considerable attention in recent years, and the microbes harboring the intestine of fish are thought to grant the host various effects related to size, metabolism, feeding behavior, and ... -
An investigation of the potential role of bacteriocins in the development of the infant gut microbiota
Pettersson, Frida Josefine (Master thesis, 2022)The colonization of the infant gut microbiota is important for health and wellbeing later in life. This colonization is dependent on multiple factors, among others the competition between bacteria. Different strategies ... -
