1. 16. Assessing the role of the drinking water distribution system on the bacterial community in public buildings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Zixuan Zhang; [2021]
   Keywords : drinking water; drinking water distribution system; bacterial community; biofilm; HNA High nucleic acid ; flow cytometry; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Safe drinking water is important and the water quality is related to the microbial community. In this study, two public buildings that receive drinking water at different locations in a distribution system were selected as sampling points. READ MORE

3. 17. Greenhoue gas flux over a 50-year post permafrost thaw gradient. Decomposition of soil organic carbon from the Swedish tussock tundra.

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Johan Martinelli; [2020-02-11]
   Keywords : greenhouse gas; permafrost;

   Abstract : As the globe is warming the extent of permafrost drastically decreases in the high latitudes. Upon thaw the stored soil organic carbon (SOC) undergoes rapid decomposition and is partly released as trace gases to the atmosphere. READ MORE

4. 18. Occurrence of Phytophthora species in soils, and functional analysis of soil microbiomes on Biolog EcoPlates : a study on commercial soils, and forest and urban soils

   University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

   Author : Catharina Schmidt; [2020]
   Keywords : Phytophthora; Fagus sylvatica; Quercus robur; soils; Biolog EcoPlates; Metabolic diversity;

   Abstract : Tree pathogenic Phytophthora species have been identified as a threat to health and stability of forests und urban trees. In Sweden most Phytophthora species are non-native and potentially invasive, and thus it is important to control their spread. READ MORE

5. 19. Co-occurrence network analysis of biogas reactor microbiomes based on metagenomics sequencing data

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

   Author : Youwei Huan; [2020]
   Keywords : Co-occurrence network; Metagenomics; Anaerobic digestion;

   Abstract : Metagenome sequencing makes it possible to capture microbial communities in their diversity, to investigate population structures and evolutionary relationships, and to predict metabolic functions and interactions within the microbial community and with the environment. Metagenomics thus, significantly expands the research scope of microbiology. READ MORE

6. 20. The Role of Soil Biology and Plant Health – Brandywine Tomatoes Grown with Different Microbial Additions

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Mikael Eriksson; [2020]
   Keywords : Soil biology; soil health; soil food web; inoculation; compost; microbes; tomato plants;

   Abstract : The microbial life in the soil is essential for providing a functioning habitat for plants to grow. A literature study was conducted to investigate the knowledge and science behind soil biology. The purpose of this study was to define what is soil health and how it is influenced by the soil microbial communities. READ MORE
