  1. 1. Measuring bacterial metabolism and antibioticsusceptibility : using silicon nanowire field-effect transistor.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fasta tillståndets elektronik

    Author : George Alhoush; [2024]
    Keywords : Silicon nanowire field effective transistor; SiNWFET; Ion-selective filed effect transistor; ISFET; Antibiotic susceptibility test; AST; Measuring bacterial metabolism using microchip;

    Abstract : Antimicrobial resistance is considered by many prominent researcher and scientist as a profound global health crisis that us humans must face in the next decade. It is threatening the effectiveness of these once-reliable weapons against bacterial infections and leaving us susceptible to pathogenic agents. READ MORE

  3. 2. Cloning and expressing the genes encoding Glycerol dehydratase (GDHt) and 1,3-Propanediol dehydrogenase (1,3-PDDH) in E. coli

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Eleni Pechlivani; [2023]

    Abstract : The biodiesel sector has witnessed tremendous growth in recent years, leading to a significant increase in glycerol production as a by-product. Addressing the challenge of glycerol valorization is crucial for the sustainability of the biodiesel industry. READ MORE

  4. 3. Relations between intracellular pH and gamma-aminobutyric acid levels in tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves, after two types of anaerobic treatment

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Mingmin Tao; [2023]
    Keywords : tea leaves; intracellular pH; gamma-aminobutyric acid; glutamate; decarboxylase; fluorescent dye;

    Abstract : Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the three major non-alcoholic beverages in the world. In Gabaron tea, the levels of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are more than 1.3 mg/g. In the human body, GABA lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels. READ MORE

  5. 4. Comparative genomics of Central Arctic Ocean microbiota for observation of Alternative Carbon Fixation Pathways

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Kaavya Venkateswaran; [2023]
    Keywords : comparative genomics; microbial ecology; bioinformatics; carbon fixation; pangenomics;

    Abstract : The Central Arctic Ocean is a repository of rich and diverse biota, whose major portion is one of the most important drivers of global biogeochemical cycles, including carbon cycling. In this study, the functional potential of the microbiota to fix carbon with alternative carbon fixation pathways were investigated along with their chemolithotrophic characteristics. READ MORE

  6. 5. EFFECT OF ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING MIXTURES AND CHEMICALS ON THE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION RATE OF ZEBRAFISH LARVAE

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Lieke van Iersel; [2022-08-08]
    Keywords : oxygen consumption; zebrafish larvae; respirometry; endocrine disrupting chemicals; mixture toxicity;

    Abstract : Chemicals affecting the endocrine system, so called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s), have been steadily increasing in the environment over the last 40 years. EDCs are harmful chemicals since they can act through multiple endocrine pathways, contain a wide spectrum of health effects that can be very persistent and can cause effects already at a low doses.
