Characterization of a Glycoside hydrolase family 50 member PaGH50A from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and exploring the enzyme’s potential in modulating biofilm formation
Farah, Hibaq Ahmed (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 ... -
Deteksjon og kvantifikasjon av HRV87 i A549 celler med og uten Neu5Ac in vitro
Ørstenvik, Hanne Lillerovde (Master thesis, 2021)Forkjølelse er et dagligdags problem som forårsakes av ulike varianter av rhinovirus. Rhinovirus er en av de vanligste årsakene til luftveisinfeksjoner og står for omlag 50 % av tilfellene. Forskningslitteraturen viser til ... -
Discovery, expression, and characterization of novel laccases derived from marine bacteria
Neeraas, Priscilla Cassandra (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 ... -
Enzymatic conversion of cotton textiles
Austad, Anna (Master thesis, 2018)Cotton textiles are mass-produced worldwide, but little is done to recirculate this material that is rich in cellulose. Indeed, cellulosic textiles represent a potential resource for the production of glucose, that further ... -
Exploration of an alginate lyase targeting the biofilm in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Hoff, Mildrid Angard (Master thesis, 2022)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic gram-negative bacterium capable of colonizing immunosuppressed patients such as those with cystic fibrosis. A P. aeruginosa infection could lead to mortality since some strains ... -
Increasing sensitivity of a particle-enhanced turbidimetric immunoassay for quantitative analysis of calprotectin
Hidden, Clara Mathilde (Master thesis, 2019)Calprotectin is a protein that is released by activated leukocytes and monocytes. Increased levels of the protein are found in patients with inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, including juvenile idiopathic arthritis ... -
Proteolyse ved eksogene enzymer gir mulige effekter på spisekvalitet, proteinfordøyelse og bioaktivitet i Semitendinosus
Thormodsrud, Linn Christine (Master thesis, 2018)Mørhet er avgjørende når forbruker velger kjøttstykke. I framtidens kjøttproduksjon kan tilførsel av eksogene enzymer muligens bidra til forbedret mørhet i seige muskler som normalt brukes til prosessert kjøtt. Videre kan ... -
Purification and characterization of "Chitin binding protein D" from P. aeruginosa
Golten, Ole (Master thesis, 2020) -
Rational engineering of a family 6 glycoside hydrolase
Østby, Heidi (Master thesis, 2017)Plant-based lignocellulosic biomass represents a significant global reserve of organic renewable energy, and is considered to have high potential to replace substantial portions of fossil-fuel dependency. Sugars derived ... -
Site-directed mutagenesis of a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase from Micromonospora aurantiaca
Gullesen, Jonathan (Master thesis, 2016-08-10)Cellulose and chitin are the two most abundant biopolymers in nature and they are valuable biomaterials that supplements fossil resources in the production of fuels, materials and chemicals. Due to the recalcitrant nature ... -
The chitinolytic system of Enterococcus faecalis V583 and its putative role in virulence
Kristensen, Mariann (Master thesis, 2019)From a harmless gut commensal, Enterococcus faecalis has undergone a transition towards a multi-resistant nosocomial pathogen, posing a major threat to human health, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. The aim ...
