Characterization of antimicrobial resistance in Norwegian blood culture isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae using whole genome sequencing.
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)Antimicrobial drugs are used to treat and prevent infections caused by microorganisms. For decades, they have saved millions of lives, treated diseases and reduced pain. However, when exposed to antimicrobial drugs, ... -
Transformation of Arabidopsis by Flag tagged PP2A
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)Eukaryotic protein kinases transfer a phosphate group from ATP to the hydroxyl group of Ser, Thr and Tyr residues, whereas protein phosphatases hydrolyze the phosphoester bond to give free phosphate and dephosphorylated ... -
Optimization of environmental conditions for roots to enhance the accumulation of biologically active compounds and their exudation in intact medicinal plants
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06)Cultivation of medicinal plants under control conditions in greenhouses can be promising technology for supplying pharmaceuticals. The main challenge of growing medicinal plants is that we have to create environmental ... -
Development of a portable surface plasmon resonance based genosensor for the detection of obligate hydrocarbon degrading bacteria in the marine environment
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-01)This study aimed at developing a genosensor that could be implemented in the Environmental Sample Processor (ESP) based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to detect obligate hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (OHCB) that can be ... -
Contents of organic acids in tomato fruits as a function of light and nutrition
