  1. 1. The evolutionary origins of phagocytosis in microbial populations

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Alfred Leimar; [2022]
    Keywords : Theoretical ecology; phagocytosis; predation; adaptive dynamics;

    Abstract : The emergence of the eukaryotic cell was one of the key events that paved the path to the vast variety of complex life visible all around us. A pivotal event in the process of eukaryogenesis was an endosymbiosis of two prokaryotic cells which in time resulted in the mitochondria. READ MORE

  3. 2. Sedimentary Factories and Ecosystem Change in the Triassic-Jurassic Boundary Interval : Insights from the Skåne Area (Southern Sweden)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Paleobiologi

    Author : Gustav Nesset Mattsson; [2021]
    Keywords : CAMP; microbial structures; End-Triassic extinction event; sedimentary structures; MISS; Triassic-Jurassic boundary; CAMP; mikrobiella strukturer; Trias-jura-utdöendet; sedimentära strukturer; MISS; Trias- juragränsen;

    Abstract : The End-Triassic Extinction (ETE) has long remained one of the lesser known among the so-called “Big Five”. There exist several hypotheses regarding the probable cause of this extinction, which can mainly be divided into  events of  a decline in the rate of diversification  in the late Triassic contra a sudden and significant extinction event.

  4. 3. Co-occurrence network analysis of biogas reactor microbiomes based on metagenomics sequencing data

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Youwei Huan; [2020]
    Keywords : Co-occurrence network; Metagenomics; Anaerobic digestion;

    Abstract : Metagenome sequencing makes it possible to capture microbial communities in their diversity, to investigate population structures and evolutionary relationships, and to predict metabolic functions and interactions within the microbial community and with the environment. Metagenomics thus, significantly expands the research scope of microbiology. READ MORE

  5. 4. Assessment of the Fluorescent Activities of Different Fluorescent Proteins for Potential Use as Biosensors in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Johan Davidsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Fluorescent proteins; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Flow cytometry; CRISPR Cas9; Biosensors; Applied microbiology; Tillämpad mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Development of genetically modified microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae for use as microbial cell factories to produce fine and bulk chemicals has lately proceeded very rapidly, much thanks to new gene editing methods based on a CRISPR/Cas9 system adapted from bacteria which increases the rate of genetic engineering. However, development of methods which enable fast and simple screening of the best performing strains with specific sought-after characteristics is not advancing at the same pace. READ MORE

  6. 5. Characterization of black corrosion in reinforced concrete structures: analyses of field samples from southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Jenny Halling; [2019]
    Keywords : black rust; anaerobic corrosion; reinforced concrete; corrosion products; green rust; microbial corrosion; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : I den här studien karakteriseras fenomenet anaerob korrosion utifrån både litteraturstudier om korrosionsprocesser och korrosionsprodukter samt genom undersökning av fältprover från betongkonstruktioner i salthaltiga undervattensmiljöer i södra Sverige. Anaerob korrosion av armering i vattenmättad betong är ett omfattande men hittills relativt ouppmärksammat problem. READ MORE
