Analytical challenges and characterization of skin and gut microbiota of Atlantic salmon fry in a commercial smolt production facility.
(Master thesis, 2018)Although the Atlantic salmon is an economically important specie, little information exist on the composition of its gut and skin microbiota during early lifestages. Fish microbiota play an essential role in health of fish ... -
Assay development for live IL-1B detection from individual THP-1 cells
(Master thesis, 2018)Protein secretion is an important process that allows for cell-cell communication and coordinated immune responses to be carried out by immune cells. Methods for the study of cytokine secretion of large cell populations ... -
Bacterial Community Dynamics in a Biofilter exposed to a Micropollutant
(Master thesis, 2014)Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a fluorinated compound used in many industrial and consumer products. It is environmentally persistent, widespread and bioaccumulative, and multiple toxicities have been reported in ... -
Biodegradation of oil films with different thicknesses in marine environments - Hydrocarbon degradation and microbial communities
(Master thesis, 2017)The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of different oil film thicknesses on the biodegradation rate and microbial communities, focusing on medium sized oil films (50-500 µl). Initially, three approaches for ... -
Biogas from Livestock Manure: Microbial Community Analysis of Biogas Reactors
(Master thesis, 2012)The aim of this experiment was to monitor the microbial communities in two biogas reactors and evaluate the efficiency of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) as a technique for visualizing shifts in the microbial ... -
Creating a Gene Expression Cassette for the Cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 - And Using it to Replace the Endogenous Hydrogenase
(Master thesis, 2015)Eukaryotic algae and cyanobacteria are a promising source of future biofuels, having many important advantages over 1st and 2nd generation biofuels. Synechococcus sp. PCC7002 is the fastest growing oxygen producing ... -
Design and characterisation of patterned surfaces for bacterial microarray fabrication
(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 ... -
Detection of stress- and taste-related compounds in human saliva
(Master thesis, 2018)Through a series of experiments, 5.8 ppm region in 1D spectra is suggested as the most promising region to detect CLC in human and animal saliva. NMR approaching can also distinguish sample s genders, as well as detect if ... -
Developing Molecular Tools To Genetically Engineer The Microalga Nannochloropsis
(Master thesis, 2015)The main objective of this thesis was to develop an efficient transformation protocol for Nannochloropsis oceanica CCMP1779 by biolistic transformation using the linearized pSELECT100 plasmid which confers hygromycin B ... -
Encapsulation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Phosphate Mineralized Alginate Beads
(Master thesis, 2011)Alginate scaffolds show good promise for bone tissue engineering using stem cells. This is due to the fact that alginate is biocompatible, non-immunogenic, and in addition may direct differentiation of stem cells into a ... -
Epigenetics mechanisms in toxicity and carcinogenicity of diesel exhaust particles - Particles induced variations in gene and microRNA expression in human bronchial epithelial cells
(Master thesis, 2015)Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. Several lines of evidence are confirming that air pollution significantly increase the risk of lung cancer. Exhaust from diesel engines is a component ... -
Evaluation of Different MS-Based Methods for Urinary Metabolomic
(Master thesis, 2012)The diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) by examination of the urine has the potential to improve patients outcome by means of earlier detection. Due to the fact that the urine contains metabolic signatures for many ... -
Evaluation of Two Culture-Independent Methods for Quantification of the Fraction of K-and r-Strategists within Water Microbial Communities
(Master thesis, 2015)The r/K concept is a theoretical concept that can serve as a tool in evaluating the risk of invasion by pathogenic bacterial species in rearing of marine fish larvae. In rearing of marine fish larvae, a dominance of ... -
Fish protein powders - characterisation of composition and properties
(Master thesis, 2018)Fish resources are limited and large amounts of by-products produced after filleting are either discarded or utilized for feed production in the aquaculture industry and are in general underused. Therefore, it is a need to ... -
