    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biofouling; cryopreservation; ecosystem services; environmental impact; extractive aquaculture; gametophytes; kelp; population diversity; Saccharina latissima; seaweed cultivation; selective breeding; site selection;

    Abstract : Seaweed aquaculture is gaining more interest worldwide, including Europe. However, despite its long coast seaweed farming is still very minor in Sweden. READ MORE

  4. 12. Denitrification as an adaptive trait in soil and groundwater bacteria

    Author : Christer Bergwall; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microcosm; forest soil; aquifer; groundwater; reductase; nitrous oxide; nitric oxide; nitrite; nitrate; selection; adaptation; bacteria; nitrification; Denitrification; dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium; fertiliser; 15NO3-; 15NH4 ; Ecology; Ekologi;

    Abstract : The focus of the thesis is on selection and adaptation processes in bacteria with emphasis on denitrifying bacteria in groundwater. Other nitrogen transformation processes such as dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (nitrate ammonification) and nitrification of forest soil bacteria are briefly discussed. READ MORE

  5. 13. Combinatorial protein engineering applied to enzyme catalysis and molecular recognition

    Author : Malin Eklund; KTH; []
    Keywords : phage display; selection; enzyme; affinity domains; crystal structure; affibody; lipase; protein engineering; protein A; assembly;

    Abstract : The recent development of methods for constructing andhandling large collections (libraries) of proteins, from whichvariants with desired traits can be isolated, hasrevolutionized the field of protein engineering. Key elementsof such methods are the various ways in which the genotypes(the genes) and the phenotypes (the encoded proteins) arephysically linked during the process. READ MORE

  6. 14. Selection of transthyretin amyloid inhibitors

    Author : Irina Iakovleva; Anders Olofsson; Göran Larsson; Bente Westergaard; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Transthyretin; TTR; ATTR; TTR-stabilizing drugs; selectivity; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Amyloidosis is a group of clinical disorders caused by the aggregation of specific proteins into abnormal extracellular deposits. Today, 31 different proteins have been linked to amyloid diseases including transthyretin-related amyloidosis (ATTR). READ MORE

  7. 15. Habitat selection, nest predation and conservation biology in a Black-tailed Godwit (Limosa limosa) population

    Author : Tomas Johansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Black-tailed godwit; Limosa limosa; nest site selection; nest predation; philopatry; risk analysis; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; populationsbiologi; Population Biology;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on a black-tailed godwit (Limosa limosa) population, consisting of 35-40 pairs, that breeds on a grazed shore meadow on SE Gotland, Sweden. The small size of the population makes it more prone to extinction due to chance events, than a larger population.The godwits showed microhabitat preferences when choosing nest sites. READ MORE
