Chlorophyll fluorescence emission spectroscopy of oxygenic organisms at 77 K
Lamb, Jacob Joseph; Røkke, Gunvor; Hohmann-Marriott, Martin Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Photosynthetic fluorescence emission spectra measurement at the temperature of 77 K (–196°C) is an often-used technique in photosynthesis research. At low temperature, biochemical and physiological processes that modulate ... -
Cloning and Expression of Four Laccase genes isolated from Arctic marine Psychrobacter strains in Escherichia coli and psychrophilic Pseudomonas
Egharevba, Osasumwen (Master thesis, 2017)A group of diverse bacterial isolates were discovered in Arctic marine habitat during a research expedition in May 2009. These isolates were identified and sequenced based on 16S rRNA sequencing. Psychrobacter strains ... -
Conjugative DNA transfer between bacteria and the heterokont alga Nannochloropsis
Khider, May Laura Kilano (Master thesis, 2018)The heterokont microalgae Nannochloropsis have been the subject of many studies that focus on genomic and metabolic engineering. Research on this genus has been motivated by the algae s high-level production of lipids and ... -
Creating a Gene Expression Cassette for the Cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 - And Using it to Replace the Endogenous Hydrogenase

Cyanobacterial siderophores - physiology, structure, biosynthesis, and applications
Årstøl, Erland; Hohmann-Marriott, Martin Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Siderophores are low-molecular-weight metal chelators that function in microbial iron uptake. As iron limits primary productivity in many environments, siderophores are of great ecological importance. Additionally, their ... -
Design, construction and evaluation of protein expression systems in Synechocystis PCC 6803.
Sunar, Binod Gautam (Master thesis, 2014)student will create constructs that are designed to transfer expression system to the chromosome of Synechocystis. Furthermore it will be tested if the expression systemcan also be implemented on the native plasmids of ... -
