Can oral administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exaggerate metabolic effects and inflammation imposed by a Western diet in mice?
(Master thesis, 2019)A Western diet is an energy dense and nutrient poor diet associated with low-grade inflammatory consequences and is implicated in causing a range of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) including obesity and diabetes type 2 ... -
Antimicrobial resistance, virulence genes and biofilm forming abilities of Klebsiella spp. isolated from healthy domestic animals in Norway
(Master thesis, 2019)Klebsiella can be identified in several different environmental habitats, animals and humans. There are many different species and subspecies of Klebsiella, with Klebsiella pneumoniae being the most medically important ... -
Studying substrate specificity by site-directed mutagenesis of a novel lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase
(Master thesis, 2019)Cellulose and chitin are carbon-rich biopolymers which constitute the two largest biomass resources on earth. Conversion of these non-edible and renewable resources into useful products of value is essential to secure a ... -
Exploring host-microbiome interactions in Norwegian Salmon via weighted network analysis
(Master thesis, 2019)Invisible to the naked eye, but present everywhere. Microbial organisms live and reproduce in almost any conceivable environment on the planet. In recent years, researchers have started to gain quantified information of ... -
Review of potential entry and replication of human papillomaviruses in reproductive cells and possible correlations to health conditions
(Master thesis, 2019)Bakgrunn: Humant Papillomavirus (HPV) infiserer basale epitelceller i hud og slimhinner og i det siste er det fremmet hypotese om at HPV også kan smitte i ikke- epitelceller. Denne oversiktsstudien belyser omfanget av ... -
Synthesis towards thioridazine

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 ... -
Spatial composition and development of biofilms from the HIAS biological phosphorus removal plant
(Master thesis, 2019)Phosphorus is one of the most important components in fertilizer and is almost exclusively sourced from phosphate rock. Phosphate rock is mined at higher rate than new deposits are being formed and peak phosphorus is ... -
Salmon Gill Poxvirus Disease (SGPVD) i Atlantisk laks (salmo salar), sykdomsutvikling og genuttrykk hos virus og vert
(Master thesis, 2019)Salmon Gill Poxvirus Disease (SGPVD) er en gjellesykdom som er knyttet til høy dødelighet i lakseoppdrettsnæringen og som er ansett som en trussel mot fiskevelferden. Det mangler fortsatt grunnleggende kunnskap om viruset ... -
Recognizing plasmid-reads by machine learning and K-mer statistics
(Master thesis, 2019)The aim of this project was to investigate to what extent some machine learning methods are able to classify chromosome reads from plasmid reads based on K-mer statistics. Both short Illumina HiSeq 2500 reads and medium-length ... -
In vivo assessment of the gene encoding the membrane bound protease Eep, in virulence
(Master thesis, 2019)The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and the lack of innovation in developing new antibiotics has only emphasised the need to develop new antimicrobials. Therefore, research has focused on antimicrobials ... -
The role of the rseP gene in systemic infection of mice
(Master thesis, 2019)The group of antimicrobial substances collectively known as antibiotics is humanity's foremost weapon against a range of pathogenic bacteria but is also getting increasingly compromised with the rise of antibiotic resistance. ... -
Carbohydrate utilization and short chain fatty acid production in Bifidobacteria
(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 ... -
Syntese mot 5S,6S-dihydroksyeikosapentaensyre og 5S,6S-dihydroksydokosaheksaensyre via stereoselektiv hydrolyse av de respektive epoksidene
(Master thesis, 2019)Studier har vist at oppløsning av inflammasjon er en biosyntetisk aktiv prosess, som er nøye regulert av flere superfamilier av oksygenerte PUFAer. Disse forbindelsene dannes endogent og betegnes som spesifikke pro-oppløsende ... -
Effekten av pH og temperaturbehandling for kvalitetsfeilen melenhet i fløtemysost
(Master thesis, 2019)Brunost er et tradisjonsrikt produkt i Norge og har vært industrielt produsert siden starten av 1860-tallet. Osten er sammensatt av myse, som blandes med melk og fløte, enten fra ku, geit eller begge deler. Disse ... -
Videreutvikling av metode for fast-fase ekstraksjon (SPE) av mono-, di- og triacylglyseroler ved bruk av automatisert SPE
(Master thesis, 2019)Formålet med denne masteroppgaven var å utvikle en separasjonsmetode for å separere mono-, di- og triacylglyseroler (MAG, DAG og TAG) ved hjelp av automatisert fast-fase ekstraksjon (SPE). Fettsyresammensetningen av MAG, ... -
Characterisation of a Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenase from Aspergillus fumigatus belonging to Auxiliary Activity Family 11
(Master thesis, 2019)Studies with lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) in recent years have shown promising results in the enzyme’s ability to degrade recalcitrant carbohydrate biomass, a crucial property in future biomass utilization ... -
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 ... -
Kvalitet av mysepermeatpulver : effekt av utvalgte prosessparametre og variasjon i sammensetning av mysepermeat
(Master thesis, 2019)Mysepermeat er et biprodukt ifra myseproteinpulverproduksjonen, som i Norge blir videre prosessert til mysepermeatpulver. Industrielt opplever man en variasjon i kvaliteten på mysepermeatpulver, og det antas at dette kan ... -
