1. Evolutionary Dynamics of Mutation and Gene Transfer in Bacteria
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : The study of bacterial evolution is fundamental for addressing current problems of antibiotic resistance and emerging infectious diseases and lays a solid foundation for successful and rational design in biotechnology and synthetic biology. The main aim of this thesis is to test evolutionary hypotheses, largely based on theoretical considerations and sequence analysis, by designing scenarios in a laboratory setting to obtain experimental data.

2. Distribution and activity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in marine and estuarine waters
University dissertation from Växjö, Kalmar : Linnaeus University PressAbstract : In aquatic environments the availability of nitrogen (N) generally limits primary production. N2-fixing prokaryotes (diazotrophs) can convert N2 gas into ammonium and provide significant input of N into the oceans. Cyanobacteria are thought to be the main N2-fixers but diazotrophs also include a wide range of heterotrophic bacteria. READ MORE

3. The discovery of antiviral compounds targeting adenovirus and herpes simplex virus assessment of synthetic compounds and natural products
University dissertation from Umeå : Umeå UniversitetAbstract : There is a need for new antiviral drugs. Especially for the treatment of adenovirus infections, since no approved anti-adenoviral drugs are available. Adenovirus infections in healthy persons are most often associated with respiratory disease, diarrhea and infections of the eye. These infections can be severe, but are most often self-limiting.

4. Lactic acid bacterial symbionts from the honeybee: Characteristics and applications in wound management
University dissertation from Division of Medical Microbiology, Lund UniversityAbstract : Antibiotic resistance is now a large threat with worldwide agreement that we will fall into a post-antibiotic era unless there is suitable treatment alternatives discovered. In recent years, chronic wounds have become a major burden on society and treatment is complicated. READ MORE

5. Bacterioplankton in the light of seasonality and environmental drivers
University dissertation from Växjö : Linnaeus University PressAbstract : Bacterioplankton are keystone organisms in marine ecosystems. They are important for element cycles, by transforming dissolved organic carbon and other nutrients. Bacterioplankton community composition and productivity rates change in surface waters over spatial and temporal scales. READ MORE
