  4. 7. Removal and Replacement of Ribosomal Proteins : Effects on Bacterial Fitness and Ribosome Function

    Author : Christina Tobin; Dan I. Andersson; Richard Buckingham; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ribosome; protein synthesis; ribosomal proteins; translation initiation; ribosome biogenesis; fitness costs; compensatory evolution; horizontal gene transfer; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Protein synthesis is a complex process performed by sophisticated cellular particles known as ribosomes. Although RNA constitutes the major structural and functional component, ribosomes from all kingdoms contain an extensive array of proteins with largely undefined functional roles. READ MORE

  5. 8. Mechanisms of adaptation to the fitness cost of antibiotic resistance

    Author : Wilhelm Paulander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The dissemination and persistence of antibiotic resistance, is not only depending on the volume of drugs used but also on the resistance mechanisms effect of bacterial fitness (reproductive ability). Fitness is a multifactorial parameter that is comprised of the relative growth rate of the resistant pathogen in the host and in the environment, as well as the clearance and transmission rates compared to susceptible strains.

  6. 9. Evolutionary Dynamics of Mutation and Gene Transfer in Bacteria

    Author : Peter A Lind; Dan I Andersson; J. Arjan G. M. de Visser; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fitness cost; bacterial evolution; gene amplification; mutational biases; GC content; synonymous substitutions; horizontal gene transfer; experimental evolution; Bacteriology; Bakteriologi; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi; Genetics; Genetik; Biology; Biologi; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : 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.

  7. 10. The significance of feedback de-excitation

    Author : Carsten Külheim; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arabidopsis thaliana; photosynthesis; feedback de-excitation; fitness; metabolomics; transcriptomics; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi;

    Abstract : During photosynthesis sunlight is absorbed by photosynthetic pigments and converted into organic compounds, such as carbohydrates. Photosynthesis needs to be highly regulated, since both too much and too little light are harmful to plant. READ MORE
