  1. 1. The importance of bacterial functional diversity for mixotrophic flagellate function

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Simon Wentritt; [2023]
    Keywords : Mixotrophs; Functional Diversity; Algae Culturing;

    Abstract : This project examined the role of functional diversity of bacterial prey organisms on a mixotrophic flagellate’s function. The concept of functional diversity and its role for ecosystem functioning is a subject of ongoing research and controversially discussed. Mixotrophy is the combination of different modes of nutrition in one organism. READ MORE

  3. 2. Study of the vibronic mixing in chlorophylls with multidimensional spectroscopy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Ignacio Martínez Casasús; [2021]
    Keywords : Two-dimensional spectroscopy; Ultrafast spectroscopy; Chlorophyll a; Chlorophylls; Photosynthesis; Light harvesting; Vibronic mixing; Quantum coherence; Chemical physics; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Chlorophylls comprise one of the most important families of molecules for the photosynthetic process. Chlorophyll-like molecules have been classically interpreted under the Gouterman model, being thought to feature two independent transitions, Qy(S1) and Qx(S2). READ MORE

  4. 3. Mainstream Deammonification process monitoring by bacterial activity tests

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Andrea Carranza Muñoz; [2020]
    Keywords : Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria AOB ; Anammox; Bacterial activity; Deammonification; Heterotrophic bacteria; IFAS; Mainstream wastewater; Nitrite Oxidizing Bacteria NOB ; Nitrogen Removal.;

    Abstract : Deammonification is a widely used technology for side stream treatment with rich ammonium streams at relatively high temperatures, such as, the reject water coming from dewatering units in treatment of digested sludge and industrial wastewaters. The deammonification process has lower operational costs than conventional systems, consumes less energy, enables the increase of biogas production and it is easy to implement. READ MORE

  5. 4. Mapping of Bacteria with Flow Cytometry – before, during and after treatment of drinking water

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Mikael Danielsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : In order to produce drinking water of high quality, surface water works apply extensive treatment processes. In this study, flow cytometry and heterotrophic plate counting was utilized to study water quality before, during and after treatment in Görvälnverket in Stockholm, Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 5. Investigation of growth modes of the lithoautotrophic bacterium Cupriavidus necator

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Raquel Perruca Foncillas; [2018]
    Keywords : applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The microorganism Cupriavidus necator is a very interesting bacterium that has been established as a model microorganism for its capability to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates, more specifically polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a potential precursor/raw material for bioplastics. Lately, the scientific community has raised interest in the chemolithoautotrophic nature of C. READ MORE
