11. Prostaglandin E2 as mediator and modulator of airway smooth muscle responses
Sammanfattning : Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a lipid mediator produced by virtually every cell of the human body. Because common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit its biosynthesis, PGE2 is usually considered to be a ‘pro-inflammatory’ mediator. The role of PGE2 in the lung and airways has however always been unclear. LÄS MER
12. Quantum Chemical Modelling of Enzymatic and Organometallic Reactions
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, density functional theory (DFT) is employed in the study of two enzymes and two organometallic systems.First, the natural reaction mechanism, as well as the enantioselective formation of α-hydroxyketones catalysed by two thiamine diphosphate (ThDP)- dependent enzymes, namely benzoylformate decarboxylase (BFDC) and 2-succinyl-5-enolpyruvyl-6-hydroxy-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic-acid (SEPHCHC)- synthase (MenD), are investigated.

13. Short-term adaptation of S. cerevisiae to lignocellulosic inhibitors: Underlying metabolic and physiological changes
Sammanfattning : The limited tolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast) to inhibitors present in lignocellulosic hydrolysates is a major challenge in second-generation bioethanol production. Short-term adaptation of the yeast to lignocellulosic hydrolysates during cell propagation has been shown to improve its tolerance, and thus its performance in lignocellulose fermentation. LÄS MER
14. Evolutionary genomics of host-microbe interactions
Sammanfattning : The microbes living inside hosts have highly important consequences for host health and fitness. From the host’s perspective, some microbes exhibit mutualistic tendencies, others parasitic, and some commensal, but this is context-dependent and opportunistic lifestyles are widespread in nature.

15. Symbiosis in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi : Unearthing genomic signatures
Sammanfattning : Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi have been on earth since 470 million years ago. AM fungi form mutualistic symbiosis with most terrestrial plants and thus, are thought to have played important roles in land colonization together with plants. LÄS MER
