1. Evolutionary Dynamics of Mutation and Gene Transfer in Bacteria
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : 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.

4. The Role of Microvascular Pericytes in the Generation of Pro-fibrotic Connective Tissue Cells Investigations in vitro and in Reactive Tissues in vivo
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : Pericytes are cells of mesenchymal origin located on the abluminal side, juxtapositioned to the endothelial cells in capillaries, venules and small arterioles. They are important for maintaining vessel integrity in resting tissues as well as the formation and stabilization of new vessels. READ MORE

5. Distribution and activity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in marine and estuarine waters
University dissertation from Växjö, Kalmar : Linnaeus University PressAbstract : In aquatic environments the availability of nitrogen (N) generally limits primary production. N2-fixing prokaryotes (diazotrophs) can convert N2 gas into ammonium and provide significant input of N into the oceans. Cyanobacteria are thought to be the main N2-fixers but diazotrophs also include a wide range of heterotrophic bacteria. READ MORE
