NMR structure of a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase provides insight into copper binding, protein dynamics, and substrate interactions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases currently classified as carbohydrate binding module family 33 (CBM33) and glycoside hydrolase family 61 (GH61) are likely to play important roles in future biorefining. However, the ... -
NMR-Structural Analysis of Proteins from Oil Reservoir Metagenomes
(Master thesis, 2015)Microorganisms are found ubiquitously around the world, where they survive as a result of their specialized biochemical reactions and enzymes. In the extreme environment of deep sea oil reservoirs, the microbes have to ... -
A non-canonical Δ9-desaturase synthesizing palmitoleic acid identified in the thraustochytrid Aurantiochytrium sp. T66.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Thraustochytrids are oleaginous marine eukaryotic microbes currently used to produce the essential omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6 n-3). To improve the production of this essential fatty acid by strain ... -
Non-Invasive Analysis of Recombinant mRNA Stability in Escherichia coli by a Combination of Transcriptional Inducer Wash-Out and qRT-PCR
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)mRNA stability is one among many parameters that can potentially affect the level of recombinant gene expression in bacteria. Blocking of the entire prokaryotic transcription machinery by addition of rifampicin is commonly ... -
Norwegian Consumers’ Skepticism towards Smoke-Flavoring of Salmon—Is It for Real?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The aim of the present study was to explore Norwegian consumers’ attitudes toward smoke-flavoring of cold smoked salmon (CSS), by conducting a digital survey and focus group discussions. Some of the smoke-flavoring techniques, ... -
Norwegian salmon rest raw material as food-loss: System and material in a sustainability context.
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:258, Doctoral thesis, 2022)The necessity for transformation of the food systems toward sustainability is a point of scientific consensus. At the core of the quested transformation falls the concept of optimizing biomass utilization efficiency. There ... -
A novel 5' UTR design for improved gene/protein expression in Escherichia coli - Genetic construction, phenotypic characterization and transcript amount analysis of dualUTR constructs
(Master thesis, 2017)The 5' untranslated region of bacterial mRNA (UTR) play an important role in mRNA translation. It is a crucial contributor to the maintenance of a balance between transcription, transcript stability and translation. ... -
Novel alginate matrix for tissue engineering: selective substitution ofmannuronic acid residues in alginate with bioactive peptides and the use of these polymers as scaffolds for cells
(Master thesis, 2010)Alginate is a naturally occurring biopolymer that forms gels in the presence of divalent ions.It is a polysaccharide which functions as a structural component in marine brown algae and some bacteria. Alginate forms hydrogels ... -
Novel Alginate Microcapsules for Cell Therapy – A study of the structure-function relationships in native and structurally engineered alginates
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2008:49, Doctoral thesis, 2008)Alginate microcapsules have the potential as immune barriers for cell transplantation where the alginate gel protects the transplant from the host immune system. Microencapsulation can thus provide a way to overcome the ... -
Novel and Established Alginate Hydrogel Beads for Cell Therapy - Fibrotic and Inflammatory Responses with Insights from Proteomics
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:417, Doctoral thesis, 2023)Encapsulation of pancreatic islets in immunoprotective alginate hydrogel microspheres represents a promising alternative to current therapies for type 1 diabetes. By providing a semipermeable barrier, this strategy protects ... -
Novel archaeal thermostable cellulases from an oil reservoir metagenome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Microbial assemblages were sampled from an offshore deep sub-surface petroleum reservoir 2.5 km below the ocean floor off the coast of Norway, providing conditions of high temperature and pressure, to identify new thermostable ... -
A novel gnotobiotic experimental system for Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar L.) reveals a microbial influence on mucosal barrier function and adipose tissue accumulation during the yolk sac stage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Gnotobiotic models have had a crucial role in studying the effect that commensal microbiota has on the health of their animal hosts. Despite their physiological and ecological diversity, teleost fishes are still underrepresented ... -
Novel Packaging Concepts for Fresh Maki Sushi - Effect of Edible Coating and Modified Atmosphere Packaging on Microbiological and Physicochemical Changes at Different Storage Temperatures
(Master thesis, 2021)Throughout the world there is a demand for more convenient, fresh, and healthier foods, and ready-to-eat (RTE) foods are becoming more sought-after. Retail sushi is a product that falls in under these categories. Although ... -
NRF2 drives an oxidative stress response predictive of breast cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Many breast cancer patients are diagnosed with small, well-differentiated, hormone receptor-positive tumors. Risk of relapse is not easily identified in these patients, resulting in overtreatment. To identify metastasis-related ... -
Nucleation and Growth of Brushite in the Presence of Alginate
(Journal article, 2015)Biomineral formation in vivo is a complex process regulated by functional molecules. Highlighting the mechanisms underlying biomineralization is necessary for a better understanding of in vivo processes and for enhanced ... -
Nucleoside Analogues Are Potent Inducers of Pol V-mediated Mutagenesis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Drugs targeting DNA and RNA in mammalian cells or viruses can also affect bacteria present in the host and thereby induce the bacterial SOS system. This has the potential to increase mutagenesis and the development of ... -
