  2. 1. Causes and consequences of Gonyostomum semen blooms

    Author : Karla Münzner; Eva S. Lindström; Lars J. Tranvik; Gesa A. Weyhenmeyer; Silke Langenheder; Ann-Kristin Bergström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gonyostomum semen; algal blooms; brown water lakes; lake browning; iron; dissolved organic carbon DOC ; carbon cycling; pCO2; CO2; organic matter; sedimentation; Biology with specialization in Limnology; Biologi med inriktning mot limnologi;

    Abstract : Aquatic ecosystems provide essential ecosystem services, but are also highly vulnerable to global change. Climate change, eutrophication and browning, for example, collectively drive the increase of harmful algal blooms in freshwaters. READ MORE

  4. 2. Biochemical Studies of Semenogelins with Emphasis on Zinc-Binding Properties

    Author : Magnus Jonsson; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sexualitet; sexuality; Obstetrik; gynekologi; andrologi; reproduction; andrology; gynaecology; Obstetrics; Klinisk kemi; Clinical chemistry; gel-forming proteins; surface plasmon resonance; prostate-specific antigen; protein C inhibitor; seminal plasma; zinc; semen; semenogelin; reproduktion;

    Abstract : Semenogelins I and II (SgI and SgII) are homologous and rapidly evolving proteins that have a repetitive primary structure and are synthesized mainly in the seminal vesicles. Upon ejaculation, a gelatinous coagulum is formed when the semenogelin-rich secretion from the seminal vesicles is mixed with the prostate secretion, which contains high concentrations of zinc(II) and proteases.

  5. 3. Identification of bull semen microbiota and possible alternatives for antibiotics in semen extenders

    Author : Aleksandar Cojkic; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The use of 16S rRNA sequencing has revolutionised research on the microbiome. However, few studies using this method have been done on semen from healthy bulls. Such information is required to optimise addition of antibiotics to semen extenders to inhibit growth of bacteria. READ MORE

  6. 4. Drivers and food web effects of Gonyostomum semen blooms

    Author : Karin Johansson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The flagellate Gonyostomum semen forms dense late-summer blooms in humic lakes and is a nuisance to swimmers because it forms a slimy coat on the skin, causing irritation in sensitive individuals. Increasing occurrence and bloom incidence of G. READ MORE

  7. 5. EXPOSURE TO PERSISTENT ORGANOCHLORINE POLLUTANTS AND MALE SEMEN FUNCTION

    Author : Anna Rignell-Hydbom; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Miljömedicin; Environmental health; epididymal and accessory sex gland function; Y:X sperm chromosome ratio; sperm chromation integrity; sperm concentration; sperm motility; persistent organochlorine poluutants;

    Abstract : Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs), such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and the insecticide dichloro-diphenyl-dichloro-ethylene (DDT) have been released into the environment mainly since the second World War. POPs accumulate especially in highly ranked predators of the aquatic food chain. READ MORE
