Bioenergy from brown seaweeds
(Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2000:105, Doctoral thesis, 2000)Brown seaweeds lack lignin and have a low cellulose content. Thus, seaweeds should be an easier material for biological degradation than land plants. However, seaweeds have a complex composition, and complete degradation ... -
Characterization of three Macroalgae: Saccharina latissima, Alaria esculenta and Palmaria palmata - Effect of Different Harvesting Conditions
(Master thesis, 2016)Seaweeds have a long tradition of being a part of the diet in many Asian countries. In Europe seaweeds have mainly been utilized industrially, and especially for their content of phycocolloids, this includes Norway. Due ... -
Cloning and Expression of Four Laccase genes isolated from Arctic marine Psychrobacter strains in Escherichia coli and psychrophilic Pseudomonas
(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 ... -
Computational SIS Modeling of the Spread of Antibiotic Resistance within Bacterial Metapopulation Networks
(Master thesis, 2018)The world faces a continually ongoing emergence of antibiotic resistance, and an almost non-existent development of new antibiotics to fight resistant bacteria. This leads to a substantial need for new and effective methods ... -
Developing tools to genetically engineer the microalga Nannochloropsis
(Master thesis, 2016)Genetic manipulation is an important tool to engineer organisms for biotechnological applications. While directed gene replacement has been established in many bacteria, only few eukaryotic systems are known to allow ... -
The Effect of Membrane Filtration on the Microbial Community Dynamics in RAS for Post-Smolt Production
(Master thesis, 2016)An increased interest for recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) the past years have led to more research on water treatment processes and how they affect water quality. Most studies have been focusing on the units governing ... -
Endogenous proteolytic enzymes - Studies of their impact on fish muscle proteins and texture
(Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2003:110, Doctoral thesis, 2004)This thesis covers studies on endogenous proteolytic enzymes and their impact on fish muscle proteins and texture. The studies have been performed using Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and cod (Gadus morhua) subjected to ... -
Fish Gelatin from Cold Water Fish Species: Physical and rheological characterisation of fish gelatin and mixtures of fish gelatin and kappa-carrageenan
(Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2003:24, Doctoral thesis, 2003)This study comprises physical and rheological characterisation of fish gelatin (FG) from cold water fish species, and the mixtures of fish gelatin and kappa-carrageenan (CG). The low content of proline and hydroxyproline ... -
Gelatine and Oil Extraction from Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Viscera
(Master thesis, 2018)The production of marine rest raw materials in Norway amounted to 909 742 tons in 2016. Around half of these materials are used for silage production, and only 10% was used for human consumption. Viscera represent the ... -
Gelation of triple helical (1→ 3)-β- D -glucan: The scleroglucan case
(Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2003:90, Doctoral thesis, 2003)The topic of this thesis has been gelation of the triple helical (1→3)- β glucan, scleroglucan. Two basically different methods of scleroglucan gelation were studied. Gels were made by altering the primary structure of ... -
Genome-scale constraint-based metabolic modeling and analysis of Nannochloropsis Sp.
(Master thesis, 2016)Genome scale metabolic models provide a link between genomic and metabolic information. The constraint-based approach is increasingly important for quantitatively analyzing the essential aspects of metabolic pathways, for ... -
