  1. 1. Biokinetic Characterization of Methane Oxidizing Microbiomes Co-metabolizing Trace Organic Chemicals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Hugo Möller; [2024]
    Keywords : Methanotrophs; organic micropollutants; co-metabolism; biodegradation; applied microbiology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater effluents is concerning, as they pose a threat to human and aquatic health. Biodegradation via methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is an attractive option, as the method is cheap and effective. MOB can co-metabolize a variety of substrates, there among organic micropollutants.

  3. 2. ASSESSING MICROBIAL COMMUNITY RESPONSES IN A CHEMICALLY STRESSED FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEM USING ENVIRONMENTAL DNA

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Nicolai Laufer; [2023-06-21]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Microbial communities represent the fundamental cornerstones of riverine ecosystems because they are involved in numerous processes which mediate ecosystem services. However, riverine ecosystems are currently massively altered by a variety of anthropogenic activities which includes changes in landuse and chemical pollution. READ MORE

  4. 3. Nanometa Live : A real-time metagenomic analysis pipeline and interface for species classification and pathogen characterization

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Kristoffer Sandås; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Metagenomics studies the totality of genomes of all species in a microbial community. It is a young, growing field with medical, industrial, and ecological applications. Abundant metagenomic data is being produced today, but there is a lack of interpretation and visualization tools. READ MORE

  5. 4. Antibiotic consumption was associated with higher abundance of gut microbiota species previously linked to coronary atherosclerosis in the population-based SCAPIS cohort

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Tiscar Graells Fernandez; [2023]
    Keywords : bioinformatics; microbiome; gut; subclinical coronary atherosclerosis;

    Abstract : Background: The human gut microbiota is the complex microbial community that lives in our gut. The gut microbiota has a key role in health and disease and its disruption has been linked to several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. READ MORE

  6. 5. Review of pH recommendations for soilless cultivation systems

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Elric Fabricius; [2023]
    Keywords : soilless cultivation; hydroponics; aeroponics; NFT; nutrient film technique; DWC; deep water culture; pH; nutrient solution; speciation; availability; biomass production;

    Abstract : Our human population is growing, and with that, so is our demand for food, food that today still is not a guarantee for all of us. To help increase global food security, the diversification of our food production through the implementation of soilless, hydroponic cultivation systems has been suggested. READ MORE
