  1. 1. Bacterial Activity and Community Composition in the Rhizosphere. Influence of plant species, root age, nitrogen addition and mycorrhizal status

    Författare :Katarina Söderberg; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; CLPP; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; Biolog; PLFA; mycorrhizal status; nitrogen addition; along roots; plant species; root age; thymidine and leucine incorporation; bacterial composition; Rhizosphere; bacterial activity;

    Sammanfattning : Microbial activity in soil is generally assumed to be limited by carbon availability. The soil closest to roots, the rhizosphere, is therefore a zone of high microbial activity due to carbon containing substances released by the root. In this work short-term effects in the rhizosphere have been the subject of investigation. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Bacterial antibody hydrolyzing enzymes – as bacterial virulence factors and biotechnological tools

    Författare :Eleni Bratanis; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunoglobulins; Immunomodulation; Antibody mediated immunity; Glycosylation; Bacterial virulence; Bacterial enzymes; Biotechnology; streptococcus pyogenes; Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus;

    Sammanfattning : Antibodies are an essential part of the human immune system, and antibody mediated immunity has been an area of interest for many researchers for almost a century. An accumulation of knowledge regarding antibody structure, glycosylation and receptor interactions has contributed to the current understanding of antibody mediated immunity. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Bacterial Resistance to Antimicrobial Peptides : Rates, Mechanisms and Fitness Effects

    Författare :Maria Pränting; Dan Andersson; Ian Chopra; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :antimicrobial peptides; antibiotic resistance; fitness cost; bacterial evolution; small colony variants; cyclotides; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : The rapid emergence of bacterial resistance to antibiotics has necessitated the development of alternative treatment strategies. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important immune system components that kill microbes rapidly and have broad activity-spectra, making them promising leads for new pharmaceuticals. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Structure and function of microbial communities in constructed wetlands - influence of environmental parameters and pesticides on denitrifying bacteria

    Författare :Susann Milenkovski; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fungicide; concentration-response curves; nosZ; nirS; nirK; bacterial activity; denitrification; bacterial community composition; herbicide; insecticide;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses the interactions and relationships between natural aquatic bacterial communities, environmental parameters, anthropogenic chemicals and the denitrification pathway in the habitat of agricultural constructed wetlands. The main aim was to gain fundamental knowledge of the drivers behind the processes of the denitrification (i.e. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Towards Anti-Virulence Antimicrobials, Discovery and Development of Sortase A Inhibitors and Investigations of Bacterial Phenotypes
