Toxicity assessment of urban marine sediments from Western Norway using a battery of stress-activated receptors and cell-based bioassays from fish
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10)A luciferase reporter gene-based bioassay battery consisting of stress-activated receptors from fish, complemented with traditional fish cell-based bioassays, were used to assess the toxicity of marine sediment samples ... -
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 ... -
Transitioning from mesophilic to thermophilic anaerobic digestion at VEAS and the influence of co-digesting primary sludge with potato-stillage
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06)Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a microbial degradation process in the absence of oxygen by several complex biological reactions where polymeric organic carbon compounds are transformed into biogas and potential biofertilizer. ... -
Translocation, bioaccumulation, and distribution of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in plants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent in the environment and have been detected in a variety of plants such as vegetables, cereals, and fruits. Increasing evidence shows that plants are at a ... -
Treatment and Optimization of Drill Cuttings for a Global Application
(Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)Oil contaminated drill cuttings is considered as a significant waste stream in the oil and gas industry. Drill cuttings contain drilling fluids that interfere and destroy the life basis for animals in the sea. Various ... -
