  1. 1. Epidemiology and genotyping of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus with amplicon-based Nanopore-sequencing : Creating a panel of clinically relevant genes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk cellbiologi

    Author : Max Koivistoinen Jonsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Amplicon-sequencing; Genomic typing; MRSA; MSSA; MinION;

    Abstract : Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a variant of the more common Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), an opportunistic pathogen a portion of the human population carries as normal bacterial flora. When an outbreak of MRSA occurs, it is often important to determine if and how these strains are related to each other. READ MORE

  3. 2. Beyond the Bubbles : a Study of Fungal Diversity and Gushing in Beer Production

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Alexander Pettersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Fusarium Head Blight; Fungal communities; Metabarcoding; Amplicon sequencing Malting barley; Gushing; Pink kernels; Random forests;

    Abstract : Gushing, violent and spontaneous over-foaming of beer, is a well-known quality reducing phenomenon encountered in the brewing industry. The present study investigated the impact of fungal contamination in barley grains, specifically focusing on gushing and the occurrence of pink kernels. READ MORE

  4. 3. Analyses of microbial community in nutrient solution with biofertilizer and risk assessment of establishment of pathogens

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Julia Södergren; [2020]
    Keywords : Biofertilizer; hydroponic; 16S rRNa sequencing; challenge testing; calorimetry; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The societal interest for a more sustainable and circular food production is increasing. Hydroponic farming is an alternative way of growing vegetables that can bring farming into urban environments, reducing long transports of food. In parallel, the focus in waste treatment is being more directed toward resource recovery. READ MORE

  5. 4. Microbial community responses to freeze : thaw cycles in active layer soils of permafrost tundra, Disko Island, Greenland

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Isabelle Gough; [2019]
    Keywords : microbial ecology; active layer soils; bacteria; fungi; permafrost system; amplicon-sequencing; QIIME2; FUN-guild; ; greenhouse gas fluxes; fluorogenic enzyme as-says;

    Abstract : Permafrost affected soils are a vast pool of Carbon, storing around 1300Pg below the ground. As a result of climate change, permafrost soils that have been frozen for thousands of years are thawing, causing the ancient organic matter to be metabolised by microorgan-isms. READ MORE

  6. 5. Anaerobic degradation of volatile fatty acids in continuous biogas reactors at very short hydraulic retention times.

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

    Author : Anna Lea Auguste Weimer; [2019]
    Keywords : Anaerobic digestion; hydraulic retention time; organic loading rate; biogas; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : There is an increasing demand for safe, affordable and above allsustainable energy, due to the exhaustion of fossil fuels and increasing greenhousegas emissions. In this context, anaerobic digestion is of growing interest, as it enablesthe production of the versatile renewable energy source biogas from various types oforganic wastes. READ MORE
