    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

  3. 2. Characterization of Compost from Reusable Industrial Streams: : physical, Nutrient, and Microbial Properties

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Ellen Ek Moreau; [2023]
    Keywords : Spent mushroom compost; apple orchard waste; soil amendment; compost optimization; circular agriculture;

    Abstract : The increasing global population, combined with soil degradation, poses challenges to food security, and raises concerns about the excessive and long-term use of conventional fertilizers. Evaluating sustainable alternative by-products for their soil-improving properties could offer a potential solution, particularly for Swedish fruit producers who can tap into local waste streams as a circular source of plant nutrients.
