  2. 1. Phenotypic and Genotypic responses in the planktonic diatom Skeletonema marinoi - Effects of Natural Processes and Anthropogenic Stressors

    Author : Susanna Gross; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diatoms; genotype; phenotype; resting cell; eutrophication; spring bloom; diversity; grazing; adaptation; phytoplankton; microalgae; Skeletonema;

    Abstract : Diatoms are one of the most diverse and abundant phytoplankton taxa and are highly important as primary producers, accounting for nearly half of the marine primary production and constituting the base in the marine food web. Despite their high dispersal potential they are genetically diverse and display genetically structured populations. READ MORE

  4. 2. A genomic approach to smooth muscle differentiation and diversity

    Author : Sven Nelander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Keywords: smooth muscle; phenotype; transcriptional regulation; differentiation; transcriptome; microarray; computational prediction; co-expression network; regulatory sequence analysis; gene module; gene battery;

    Abstract : Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are a broad class of contractile cells that are found in a number of organs systems, including the vasculature, the urogenital system, the bronchi and the gastrointestinal tract. The two main functions exerted by SMCs are to provide contractile force and to synthesize structural components of the extracellular matrix. READ MORE

  5. 3. Glycan dependent Helicobacter spp. and Streptococcus oralis binding to mucins in the gastric and oral mucosal niches

    Author : Gurdeep Chahal; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Helicobacter pylori; Streptococcus; diversity; glycosylation;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori infects the stomach of half of the world’s population, while Helicobacter suis colonizes pigs and is the most common non-H. pylori Helicobacter species that also infects human stomach. Infection with Helicobacter spp. is associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, and gastric cancer. READ MORE

  6. 4. Constraint-based modeling of yeast metabolism and protein secretion

    Author : Feiran Li; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein secretion; metabolism; yeast evolution; genome-scale metabolic model; phenotype diversity;

    Abstract : Yeasts are extensively exploited as cell factories for producing alcoholic beverages, biofuels, bio-pharmaceutical proteins, and other value-added chemicals. To improve the performance of yeast cell factories, it is necessary to understand their metabolism. READ MORE

  7. 5. Genotypic and phenotypic characterization of Porphyromonas gingivalis in relation to virulence

    Author : Takashi Yoshino; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Porphyromonas gingivalis; Phenotype; Genotype; Virulence; Periodontitis;

    Abstract : The present thesis was designed to increase the knowledge on the role of pathogenic potential of Porphyromonas gingivalis as a putative periodontal pathogen. P. READ MORE
