Measuring growth of denitrifiers in digestate using gas kinetics
(Master thesis, 2018)Denitrification is a microbial, anaerobic process reducing nitrogen oxyanions to gaseous products in a stepwise reaction that leads to a release of nitrous oxide gas to the atmosphere. Denitrification has four steps; NO3 ... -
Optimisation of nucleic acid extraction methods for a low pH soil, quantification of denitrification gene expression, and the analysis of gas kinetics from agricultural peat soils
(Master thesis, 2013-09-10)Denitrification is one of the main processes in the nitrogen cycle, and it is the reduction of nitrate to N2 through a series of intermediates, removing biologically available nitrate from the biosphere. NO and N2O are ... -
Out of breath : entrapping the denitrifier Paracoccus denitrificans in anoxia and rescuing it by spikes of oxygen
(Master thesis, 2019)N2O er en dobbel fare, da det er en kraftig drivhusgass, og den største kjemiske svekkeren av ozonlaget som ikke er regulert av Montrèalprotokollen. Utslippene har økt på grunn av økt mikrobiell aktivitet som igjen skyldes ... -
Quorum sensing circuits in Pseudomonas aeruginosa regulate N2O reduction
(Master thesis, 2016)Many bacteria respire in the absence of oxygen through reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the process called denitrification. Denitrification is the main greenhouse gas emitter by its release of N2O when high amounts ... -
Quorum sensing in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa regulates N2O reduction
(Master thesis, 2019)Through a process called denitrification, bacteria can respire with the use of as terminal electron acceptors instead of oxygen. An intermediate of the denitrification process, nitrous oxide (N2O), often escapes to the ...
