1. Characterization and persistence of potential human pathogenic vibrios in aquatic environments
Sammanfattning : Vibrio spp., natural inhabitants of aquatic environments, are one of the most common causes of bacterial gastroenteritis in the world, being spread to humans via the ingestion of seafood, contaminated drinking water or exposure to seawater. The majority of Vibrio spp. are avirulent, but certain strains may sporadically be human pathogenic. LÄS MER

3. Living on the edge : effectiveness of buffer strips in protecting biodiversity on boreal riparian forests
Sammanfattning : The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the ecological consequences of buffer strip retention on riparian and terrestrial biodiversity. Earlier studies on forest buffer strips have evaluated their effectiveness in relation to water quality and aquatic biota. However, forests along streams are species rich habitats for many organism groups. LÄS MER
4. Antibiotic Resistance and Fitness of Escherichia coli in the Infantile Commensal Microbiota
Sammanfattning : Microbial resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem worldwide. Resistance develops not only in microbes which are the targets of the antibiotic treatment, but also in those belonging to the normal microbiota of the treated host. Little is known on the ecological consequences of antibiotic resistance in commensal bacteria. LÄS MER
5. Role of Lipids in the fate of organochlorine compounds in Aquatic Ecosystems
Sammanfattning : Both results of laboratory experiments and material collected in the field have shown the lipid composition in organisms to have a significant effect on the bioaccumulation of pollutants and on the lipid steady-state concentrations of pollutants there. The redistribution of persistent organic pollutants which occurs in organisms as a consequence of the depletion of lipid depot, was studied in a population of migrating Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka).
