1. 1. Relations between intracellular pH and gamma-aminobutyric acid levels in tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves, after two types of anaerobic treatment

   University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

   Author : Mingmin Tao; [2023]
   Keywords : tea leaves; intracellular pH; gamma-aminobutyric acid; glutamate; decarboxylase; fluorescent dye;

   Abstract : Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the three major non-alcoholic beverages in the world. In Gabaron tea, the levels of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are more than 1.3 mg/g. In the human body, GABA lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels. READ MORE

3. 2. Comparative genomics of Central Arctic Ocean microbiota for observation of Alternative Carbon Fixation Pathways

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Kaavya Venkateswaran; [2023]
   Keywords : comparative genomics; microbial ecology; bioinformatics; carbon fixation; pangenomics;

   Abstract : The Central Arctic Ocean is a repository of rich and diverse biota, whose major portion is one of the most important drivers of global biogeochemical cycles, including carbon cycling. In this study, the functional potential of the microbiota to fix carbon with alternative carbon fixation pathways were investigated along with their chemolithotrophic characteristics. READ MORE

4. 3. Impact of PFAS exposure on the fecal metabolome

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

   Author : Lisa Johansson; [2022]
   Keywords : Gut metabolites; LC-qTOF-MS; PFAS;

   Abstract : The human gut microbiota plays a crucial role in human health and therefore imbalances in gut microbiota functioning can lead to the development of metabolic disorders. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites, bile acids (BA) and other metabolites are the essential compounds for the metabolome. READ MORE

5. 4. Impact of polychlorinated biphenyl- and organochlorine pesticide exposure on faecal metabolome

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

   Author : Maja Näsman; [2022]
   Keywords : Gut microbiota; polychlorinated biphenyls; organochlorine pesticides; tricarboxylic acid cycle; bile acids; LC-qTOF-MS.;

   Abstract : The gut microbiota plays a major part in maintaining the health of a human host. Countless of crucial functions in the body, including immune responses, cell signaling and energy metabolism to name a few, are conducted by the gut microbiota and its metabolites. READ MORE

6. 5. Implementation of a straightforward derivatizationmethod for the simultaneous analysis of short chainfatty acids and tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolitesby LC-qToF-MS.

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

   Author : Renée Levisson; [2021]
   Keywords : Short-chain fatty acids; tricarboxylic acid TCA cycle; chemical derivatization; 3-nitrophenylhydrazine;

   Abstract : Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites aresmall hydrophilic compounds that play crucial roles in biological species ranging fromenergy metabolism, immune homeostasis to cellular signalling. There is a need for reliableand precise quantification of these metabolites in biological matrices as they can providecrucial information of metabolic status and potentially be used as diagnostic biomarkersfor different pathological and physiological conditions.
