Bacterial Microarrays by Microcontact Printing: Development of a Method for Immobilizing Live Bacteria on Microarrays

Ottesen, Vegar (Master thesis, 2014)

Traditional microbiological experimental methods generally reveal population-wide statistics and are not capable of revealing variations between individual cells. In an effort to address this, a cheap, quick and easy means ...

Bakteriell adhesjon til mukosale overflater - Effektar av mikrobiota på bakteriell adhesjon til lakseskinn

Erdal, Magnhild Sekse (Master thesis, 2019)

Fisk lever i direkte kontakt med sitt ytre miljø, og er difor kontinuerleg utsette for eksterne truslar. Skinnet er den fyrste forsvarslinja mot det ytre miljøet, og det er dekt med eit slimlag, også kalla mucus. Mucus ...

Bruk av nanobioteknologiverktøy for å studere mekanismar som ligg til grunn for bakteriell adhesjon til mucin

Ølnes, Åsa Schawlann (Master thesis, 2019)

Nokre av dagens største helseproblem, inkludert overvekt, diabetes og allergiar, er påverka av tarmfloraen. Koloniseringa av kommensale bakteriar til vert, samt infeksjonar forårsaka av patogene bakteriar, avhenger begge ...

Characterization of Substrate Binding and Hybrid Forming Abilities of Galectin-3

Kjær, Sylvi Oliva (Master thesis, 2018)

Glycans have over the last decade become a hot topic in biochemistry, cell biology and related research areas. Glycoproteins are today known to have critical roles in the organization and function of eukaryotic cells. Their ...

Design and characterisation of patterned surfaces for bacterial microarray fabrication

Krigul, Kertu Liis (Master thesis, 2018)

The main objective of this master project was to prepare master moulds and PDMS stamps which can be used for microcontact printing. In addition, the aim was to develop and characterize patterned surfaces which can be used ...

Direct Determination of Chitosan–Mucin Interactions Using a Single-Molecule Strategy: Comparison to Alginate–Mucin Interactions

Haugstad, Kristin Elisabeth; Håti, Armend Gazmeno; Nordgård, Catherine Taylor; Adl, Patricia S.; Maurstad, Gjertrud; Sletmoen, Marit; Draget, Kurt Ingar; Dias, Rita de Sousa; Stokke, Bjørn Torger (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)

Aqueous chitosan possesses attractive interaction capacities with various molecular groups that can be involved in hydrogen bonds and electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. In the present paper, we report on the direct ...

Effect of design geometry, exposure energy, cytophilic molecules, cell type and load in fabrication of single-cell arrays using micro-contact printing

Bhujbal, Swapnil Vilas; Dekov, Maren; Ottesen, Vegar; Dunker, Karen; Lale, Rahmi; Sletmoen, Marit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)

In this study a range of factors influencing the fabrication of single-cell arrays (SCAs) are identified and investigated. Micro-contact printing was used to introduce spots coated with polyethyleneimine or Matrigel on ...

Elucidating binding capacities of different sialic acid-carrying polymer substrates with Siglec-9 by Optical Tweezers - Studies of the importance of mucin glycosylation for cancer progression

Monshaugen, Ida (Master thesis, 2018)

The experimental data regarding interaction studies and energy landscape presented in this master thesis were obtained using a dual-beam Optical Tweezers. The main objective of this study was to investigate the binding of ...

Elucidating glycan-mediated interactions at cell surfaces by optical tweezers

Siarpilina, Katsiaryna (Master thesis, 2017)

In this study, carbohydrate-interactions were investigated by using optical tweezers, which is an instrument for the measurement of forces down to 0.1 pN. Carbohydrates are added to various biological polymers in a process ...

Energy Landscape of Alginate-Epimerase Interactions Assessed by Optical Tweezers and Atomic Force Microscopy

Håti, Armend Gazmeno; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Stokke, Bjørn Torger; Skjåk-Bræk, Gudmund; Sletmoen, Marit (Journal article, 2015)

Mannuronan C-5 epimerases are a family of enzymes that catalyze epimerization of alginates at the polymer level. This group of enzymes thus enables the tailor-making of various alginate residue sequences to attain various ...

Exploring the interaction capacities of microorganisms by the use of high-resolution experimental tools

Bay, Lilli Theres Eilertsen (Master thesis, 2018)

Cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae poses a possible detoxification method for the removal of mycotoxins through the formation of a yeast-mycotoxin complex. One of the main fungal genus that produces mycotoxins is the Fusarium, ...

Fabrication of Cellular Microarrays

Resell, Aurora (Master thesis, 2017)

Cellular microarrays are known for their use as a tool to investigate variations between single cells in terms of how they respond to different physiological parameters. The work of this thesis focused on developing a ...

Immobilisation of E. coli by Microarray Printing.

Shrestha, Retina (Master thesis, 2018)

Cellular heterogeneity is a fundamental property of organisms that help them to adapt and thrive in different changing environmental conditions. Therefore, approaches are necessary to study cellular processes at a single ...
