  2. 11. Mucus associated proteins and their functional role in the distal intestine

    Author : Joakim H. Bergström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; intestine; mucus; bacteria; MUC2; AGR2; FCGBP; ZG16;

    Abstract : The mammalian intestine, especially the large intestine, harbors complex societies of beneficial bacteria coexisting with the host. This is a mutualistic relationship, where the host provides nutrients and a favorable environment while the bacteria in return ferment indigestible polysaccharides to short chain fatty acids.

  4. 12. Staphylococcal surface display for protein engineering and characterization

    Author : John Löfblom; Stefan Ståhl; Henrik Wernérus; K. Dane Wittrup; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; affibody; combinatorial library; epitope mapping; Gram-positive bacteria; protein engineering; staphylococcal surface display; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Even though our understanding of mechanisms such as protein folding and molecular recognition is relatively poor, antibodies and alternative affinity proteins with entirely novel functions are today generated in a routine manner. The reason for this success is an engineering approach generally known as directed evolution. READ MORE

  5. 13. Engineering of staphylococcal surfaces for biotechnological applications

    Author : Henrik Wernérus; KTH; []
    Keywords : affibody; albumin binding protein; Bacterial surface display; cell immobilisation; bioremediation; combinatorial protein engineering; flow cytometry; Gram-positive; metal-binding; staphylococcal protein A; Staphylococcus carnosus; Staphylococcus xylo;

    Abstract : The engineering of bacterial surfaces has in recent yearsattracted a lot of attention with applications in manydifferent areas of bioscience. Here we describe the use of twodifferent surface display systems for the gram-positivebacteria Staphylococcus carnosus and Staphylococcus xylosus invarious biotechnological applications. READ MORE

  6. 14. Antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria affecting children from León, Nicaragua

    Author : Erick José Amaya; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Annual child mortality has declined in the world from 12.5 million in 1990 to 8.8 million in 2008. Yet, infectious diseases are still the major cause of death in this group (6. READ MORE

  7. 15. Studies on mRNA turnover in bacteria

    Author : Martin Persson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Microbiology; aprE; GlpP; glpD; mRNA secondary structure; Bacillus subtilis; mRNA stability; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Genetic information, which is stored in DNA, is transferred to messenger RNA (mRNA) in a process called transcription. mRNAs are then translated by ribosomes into proteins which, with some important exceptions, catalyze chemical reactions in cells. Since cells must be able to adapt to changes in the environment, mRNAs must be unstable. READ MORE
