  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. The Impact of Abiotic Stress on Alternative Splicing in Lipid Transfer Protein in Marchantia polymorpha

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Linnéa Fredén; [2018]
    Keywords : Abiotic stress; Marchantia polymorpha; alternative splicing; intron; non-specific lipid transfer proteins; drought; cold;

    Abstract : All plants have a protection against the surrounding environment called a cuticle coating. When this cuticle coating is constructed it is believed that the family of protein called lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) is involved. The LTPs are small and cysteine rich. In Marchantia polymorpha the groups of LTPs called LTPd and LTPg can be found. READ MORE

  4. 3. Dissection of domain function for tandem AP2 plant transcription factors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Harald Berg; [2018]
    Keywords : Transcription factors; plant oil biosynthesis; transient expression; Nicotiana benthamiana; domain swapping; Apetala 2; AP2; Wrinkled1; WRI1; Wrinkled4; WRI4; Baby Boom; BBM; Arabidopsis thaliana; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Oils are some of the most energy dense compounds produced in nature and play a vital role in society as a source of food, energy and as raw material in many chemical processes. Plant produced oils (triacylglycerols) are a key asset in the transition away from fossil oils. READ MORE

  5. 4. Skin barrier: Extraction and characterization of Stratum Corneum lipids

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Nicolas Velásquez González; [2018]
    Keywords : stratum corneum; skin barrier; lipids; physical chemistry; fysikalisk kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : The structure and dynamics of isolated Stratum Corneum lipids in different temperatures and hydration conditions was investigated using natural abundance 13 C NMR and X-ray scattering. In order to isolate the lipids a new extraction method was tested. The novel aspect of this method was its ability to extract more lipids from SC. READ MORE

  6. 5. The Effects of Abiotic Stress on Alternative Splicing in Non-specific Lipid Transfer Proteins in Marchantia polymorpha

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Hanna Ahlsén; [2018]
    Keywords : abiotic stress; alternative splicing; cold; drought; Marchantia polymorpha; non-specific lipid transfer proteins; LTP;

    Abstract : Due to global warming, our planet will experience more extreme weather conditions. Plants can protect themselves against these abiotic stress conditions with their stress response, which includes alternative splicing of certain genes. READ MORE
