  2. 1. Microbial biopolymer production from waste streams

    Author : Kasra Khatami Mashhadi; Zeynep Cetecioglu; Anders F. Andersson; Maria Reis; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bioaugmentation; Burkholderia cepacia; Cupriavidus necator; Mixed microbial cultures; Polyhydroxyalkanoates; Volatile fatty acids; Bioaugmentering; Burkholderia cepacia; Cupriavidus necator; Blandade mikrobiella kulturer; Polyhydroxyalkanoater; Flyktiga fettsyror; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : Burgeoning concerns on the adverse environmental impacts of fossil-derived products are propelling the pursuit of material production from sustainable resources. Resource recovery from waste is a key component of meeting the environmental sustainability agendas set by the United Nations. READ MORE

  4. 2. Computational analysis of oligosaccharide conformations – methodological development, applied studies, and design of glycomimetics

    Author : Francesco Strino; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; histo-blood group antigens; Burkholderia cepacia; genetic algorithms; norovirus; selenoglycosides; sugar conformations; thioglycosides; saccharide conformations;

    Abstract : Carbohydrates are the most abundant class of biomolecules. Besides their roles as structural elements and energy storage, they are involved in signaling and recognition processes. Their functions and activities depend on their preferred conformations. READ MORE

  5. 3. Prediction of 3D structures of oligosaccharides. Methodological development and studies on saccharide antigens of interest for vaccine design

    Author : Jimmy Rosen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Oligosaccharide; conformation; 3D structure; O-antigen; Shigella dysenteriae; Escherichia coli; Burkholderia cepacia; Schistosoma mansoni; filtered systematic search; genetic algorithm;

    Abstract : This thesis presents 3D structure predictions of five immunologically active surfacepolysaccharides of pathogens, which are of interest as targets for development of glycoconjugatevaccines. Furthermore it describes two methods which have been used for theconformational predictionsThe Shigella dysenteriae type 2 Oantigenwas predicted to form a compact helicalstructure with three repeating pentasaccharide units per turn.

  6. 4. Bacterial colonisation and infection of the lower airways in cystic fibrosis : a microbiological and clinical study

    Author : Ferenc Karpati; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : cystic fibrosis; sputum; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Stenotrophomonas maltophilia; Burkholderia cepacia; PCR; AP-PCR; 16S RNA gene; DNA sequencing; heterogeneity; TNF-[alpha]; IL-8; ibuprofen;

    Abstract : Pulmonary deterioration has remained the major cause of mortality in cystic fibrosis (C17) patients despite the considerable improvement of their survival due to more efficient therapy and centralised care. The progression of the CF lung disease is correlated to inflection with a limited number of colonising bacterial species. READ MORE

  7. 5. Caenorhabditis elegans as a model to elucidate host-pathogen interactions for human bacterial pathogens

    Author : Xiao Hui Sem; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a popular host utilized to model bacterial virulence and microbial pathogenesis in vivo. This thesis explores the use of C. elegans for the study of host-pathogen interactions for two Gram-negative bacteria, Burkholderia thailandensis and Salmonella enterica. READ MORE
