1. Investigating the temperature mediated effects of antidepressant pharmaceutical on foraging behavior and activity in aquatic invertebrates
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Contamination by pharmaceuticals in aquatic environments is an increasing problem globally. Wide range of pharmaceuticals of different treatments classes are commonly detected in water and the tissues of organisms and there is a growing concern about how these substances might affect the aquatic ecosystems.

2. Human Exposure to Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl : Substances through Fish Consumption
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknikAbstract : Human exposure to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) occurs mainly through two pathways, inhalation and ingestion. Dietary exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including PFAS, is driven mainly by the consumption of foods of marine or terrestrial animal origin. READ MORE

3. Exploring amino acid metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for improved eco-efficient production of chiral amine
University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle (HS)Abstract : Kirala aminer används idag både som aktiva substanser och som bindningsmedel i flertalet läkemedel, dock är dagens produktion med kinetic resolution ineffektiv vilket gör att mer effektiva och miljövänliga produktionssätt eftersträvas. Biotransformation har visat sig både vara miljövänligt och en effektiv metod för att producera kirala aminer. READ MORE

4. Biodegradation of organic micropollutants dibutyl phthalate and bisphenol A by fungi
University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesAbstract : Fungi represent a promising and relatively untapped resource in regard to the bioremediation of micropollutants. Degradation efficiencies of the ubiquitous endocrine disrupting chemicals dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and bisphenol A (BPA) by selected fungal strains with different ecophysiologies were determined via ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC).

5. Effects of Persistent Organic Pollutants and Their Mixtures on Biotransformation and Oxidative Stress in Zebrafish Embryo
University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknikAbstract : Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) cause significant effects on organisms due to their resistance to environmental degradation and specific toxic responses. Although POPs toxicities were linked to oxidative stress in the previous studies, there are few POPs studies that link them with oxidative stress in zebrafish during development. READ MORE
