  1. 31. Developing a Method to Study the Impact of Microbial DNA on the Brain Related to Alzheimer’s Disease – Can Food Make a Change?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Fuh-Tzu Yang; [2022]
    Keywords : DNA extraction; Microbiome DNA enrichment; Host DNA depletion; 16S rRNA sequencing; Alzheimer’s disease; Gut-brain axis; Microbiota; Microbial DNA; Black currant; Applied Nutrition and Food Chemistry; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Understanding the gut-brain-microbiota axis can help us provide a new tool to manage conditions such as Alzheimer’s. However, a major challenge is selectively amplifying the bacterial DNA which is present at a much lower level than the host DNA. READ MORE

  3. 32. Does growth of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 in infant formula have an impact on its probiotic features?

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Astrid Hägg; Carolin Marklund; [2022]
    Keywords : probiotics; postbiotics; Limosilactobacillus reuteri; gastrointestinal tract; infant formula;

    Abstract : The human gut microbiota establishes at birth and forms a life-long relationship with its host. A rich diversity in the microbiota has been suggested as a key association for healthy individuals. To ensure a microbial equilibrium, clinically proven beneficial bacteria in the form of probiotics can be applied. READ MORE

  4. 33. Targeted and non-targeted approaches to ImprUV the nutritional profile of greenhouse crops

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Hanna Forsman; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This work was made to discover if greenhouse crops, particularly broccoli and Chinese cabbage, can change their metabolism and therefore their nutritional profile depending on what ultraviolet radiation (UV) they were exposed during growth. This is important since the world’s population increases and therefore, we need to be able to produce foods with increased nutritional quality. READ MORE

  5. 34. Impact of polychlorinated biphenyl- and organochlorine pesticide exposure on faecal metabolome

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Maja Näsman; [2022]
    Keywords : Gut microbiota; polychlorinated biphenyls; organochlorine pesticides; tricarboxylic acid cycle; bile acids; LC-qTOF-MS.;

    Abstract : The gut microbiota plays a major part in maintaining the health of a human host. Countless of crucial functions in the body, including immune responses, cell signaling and energy metabolism to name a few, are conducted by the gut microbiota and its metabolites. READ MORE

  6. 35. The effect of imperfect resource conversion and recurring perturbations on byproduct cross- feeding chains in digital communities

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Filippa Frejborg; [2021]
    Keywords : byproduct cross-feeding; cross-feeding interactions; digital evolution; digital organisms; gut microbiome; recurring perturbations; resource conversion;

    Abstract : The gut microbiome plays a vital role in human health. Disturbances of this microbial system is associated with diseases such as obesity and inflammatory bowel disease. In populations of microbial species, many organisms partake in byproduct cross-feeding interactions, where byproducts from one organism are consumed by other microbes. READ MORE
