  2. 16. LYME BORRELIOSIS Detection and identification of the infecting genotype

    Author : Katharina Ornstein; Sektion III; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parasitologi människa och djur ; Parasitology human and animal ; Infektioner; Infections; PCR; genospecies; Lyme borreliosis; Borrelia burgdorferi; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Lyme borreliosis is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, a bacterium with a parasitic life-style, which is transmitted between hosts by the Ixodes tick-vector. Humans will incidentally become infected. The resulting illness can involve the skin, nervous system, joints and heart. READ MORE

  4. 17. Lactobacilli dominating the normal vaginal flora

    Author : Tell Jakobsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The microbiology of the ecological niche of the vagina is dynamic. There are numerous inhabitants, mainly anaerobic bacteria. During the fertile years the vaginal mucosa is normally dominated by lactobacilli, a fact that has been known for over a century. READ MORE

  5. 18. Inferring evolution in bacteria using Markov chains and genomic signatures

    Author : Daniel Dalevi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Prediction suffix tree; Markov chains; Molecular evolution; Bioinformatics; Gene order rearrangements; Horizontal gene transfer; Variable length Markov chains;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the development of methods and models in evolutionary molecular biology. The techniques are also applicable to other similar biological problems. The first contribution is a novel classifier using fixed and variable length Markov chains that can discriminate between bacterial DNA of different species. READ MORE

  6. 19. Autolytinae: molecules, morphology, and reproduction

    Author : Arne Nygren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phylogeny; systematics; revision; new taxa; PhyloCode; reconstruction of ancestral states.;

    Abstract : Autolytines constitute a well delineated group of syllid polychaetes, separated from other syllids by the presence of a sinuous pharynx, lack of ventral cirri and reproduction with dimorphic sexes. The group comprises c. 170 nominal species distributed worldwide, mostly inhabiting hard substrates restricted to the continental shelf. READ MORE

  7. 20. Novel Moderate Halophiles: Application of Halomonas boliviensis in Biopolyester Production

    Author : Jorge Quillaguaman; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biotechnology; biopolymers; Polymer technology; poly b-hydroxybutyrate accumulation; moderate halophile; Halomonas boliviensis; Chromohalobacter sarecencis; Polymerteknik; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : The south-west Andean region of Bolivia has vast landscapes comprising salt deserts and dry lands interspersed with a number of saline lakes. Much of this region lies above 4000 m above sea level that allows the survival of limited and unique flora and fauna. READ MORE
