1. Characterization of FtsH proteases in the annual plant Arabidopsis thaliana
Abstract : Background FtsH is an ATP-dependent membrane-bound metalloprotease. A. thaliana contains 12 FtsH proteases localized in membranes of chloroplasts and mitochondria where they form homo- or hetero-hexameric complexes. FtsH11 – the main subject of this thesis – is located in the chloroplast envelope. READ MORE

2. Wastewater treatment and biomass generation by Nordic microalgae : growth in subarctic climate and microbial interactions
Abstract : Nordic native microalgal strains were isolated, genetically classified and tested for their ability to grow in municipal wastewater. Eight of the isolated strains could efficiently remove nitrogen and phosphate in less than two weeks. Two of these strains, Coelastrella sp. READ MORE

3. The Role of Proteases in Plant Development
Abstract : Proteases play key roles in plants, maintaining strict protein quality control and degrading specific sets of proteins in response to diverse environmental and developmental stimuli. Similarities and differences between the proteases expressed in different species may give valuable insights into their physiological roles and evolution. READ MORE

4. The Small Cab-like Proteins in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
Abstract : The Small Cab-like Proteins (SCPs) in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 accumulate in cells grown under different stress conditions. Genes coding for SCPs have been found in all sequenced organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis and even in the genomes of cyanophages. READ MORE

5. Reversible modifications of chloroplast proteins and assessment of their functions
Abstract : Oxygenic photosynthesis is the process of solar energy conversion into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates. This event is carried out by plants, algae and cyanobacteria and represents the starting point of the food chain in which most organisms are fed. READ MORE
