  1. 1. Development of osmo- and appetite regulation during transfer of smolt from freshwater to increasing salinities

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Jonna Hellesten; [2023-01-26]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is common in Scandinavian aquaculture and must be transferred from freshwater to seawater to grow properly. Despite being assessed as ready smolts, meaning they have gone through the physiological changes to prepare for SW transfer, the transfer result in a mortality rate of around 13-19%, and significant appetite- and growth reductions.

  3. 2. An Overview Of The Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms Of Common Gram Positive And Gram Negative Multidrug Resistant Bacteria

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Elisabeth Tammi; [2023]
    Keywords : Antibiotic resistance mechanism; gram negative bacteria; gram positive bacteria;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance in multidrug resistant bacteria cause high mortality rates worldwide, where there has been over 1,000,000 deaths reported as of the year 2019. Antibiotics were thought to be the cure for fighting infectious diseases and preventing further spreading of infection. READ MORE

  4. 3. Quantification of DNA Nanoballs Using Image Processing Techniques

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen Vi3

    Author : Sara Lindberg; [2023]
    Keywords : image analysis; fluorescence microscopy; quantification; DNA; rolling circle amplification; machine learning; deep learning; transfer learning; neural networks;

    Abstract : In gene editing, it is important to identify the number of edited and unedited nucleic acids in the development of new therapies and drugs. Countagen is developing a technology for accelerating genomic research and their product is called GeneAbacus. READ MORE

  5. 4. Functional Characterisation of Effectors from Biotrophic and Necrotrophic Wheat Pathogens in Heterologous Expression Systems

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

    Author : Mark Melchior; [2023]
    Keywords : wheat; Blumeria graminis; Parastagonospora nodorum; effectors;

    Abstract : Effector proteins play an important role in the interactions between fungal pathogens and their host plant. Recognition of effectors can lead to localised cell death in plants. The necrotrophic fungus Parastagonospora nodorum utilises this mechanism to induce cell death in wheat and cause Stagonospora nodorum blotch (SNB). READ MORE

  6. 5. Isolation of an ammonia-tolerant syntrophic butyrate-oxidizing bacterium originating from a thermophilic biogas digester

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Malin Tiefensee; [2023]
    Keywords : thermophilic; ammonia-tolerant; syntrophic butyrate-oxidizing bacterium;

    Abstract : Syntrophic relationships between fatty acid degrading bacteria and hydrogenotrophic methanogens are important for a well-functioning anaerobic degradation process during biogas production from organic waste material. This is particularly important in biogas processes fed protein-rich material as their degradation gives rise to high levels of ammonia, which inhibits many microorganisms. READ MORE
