  1. 1. KNOW YOUR ENEMY : Characterizing Pathogenic Biomaterials Using Laser Tweezers

    Författare :Tobias Dahlberg; Magnus Andersson; Krister Wiklund; Mikael Sjödahl; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optical Tweezers; Laser Tweezers; Raman Spectroscopy; Bacterial Adhesion; Biophysics; Pili; Bacterial Spores; Endospores; Oocysts; Cryptosporidium; Optics; biology; biologi; fysik; Physics;

    Sammanfattning : Diseases caused by pathogenic agents such as bacteria and viruses result in devastating costs on personal and societal levels. However, it is not just the emergence of new diseases that is problematic. Antibiotic resistance among bacteria makes uncomplicated infections difficult and lethal. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Adhesion Mechanisms of Bacterial Spores to Solid Surfaces

    Författare :Ulrika Husmark; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The initial adhesion of different Bacillus spores to solid surfaces was investigated. By changing environmental parameters and studying the subsequent adhesion, conclusions have been drawn concerning the different mechanisms responsible for adhesion. Bacillus species are common microorganisms and in food industry they are common food spoilers. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Coiled coil Cytoskeleton in Bacterial Cell Architecture : Studies of Growth and Development in Streptomyces

    Författare :Sonchita Bagchi; Nora Ausmees; Joseph McCormick; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Coiled coil proteins; Bacterial cytoskeleton; Differentiation; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Bacterial cytoskeleton is an exciting and relatively new field of research. Recent findings have proven that microbes are well-organized and neatly structured organisms. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Molecular Palaeopathology : Ancient DNA analyses of the bacterial diseases tuberculosis and leprosy

    Författare :Emilia Nuorala; Kerstin Lidén; Ingrid Ekenman; Marie Allen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; molecular palaeopathology; ancient DNA; disease; bacteria; tuberculosis; leprosy; Archaeology subjects; Arkeologiämnen;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis “Molecular Palaeopathology. Ancient DNA analyses of the bacterial diseases tuberculosis and leprosy” deals with molecular palaeopathology, i.e. in this case the use of molecular methods to analyse ancient bacterial DNA in order to get further knowledge of diseases in ancient times.

  7. 5. Studies on Thiol-Disulfide Oxidoreductases in Bacillus subtilis

    Författare :Mirja Carlsson Möller; Molekylär cellbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; Microbiology; bacteriology; bacterial sporulation; endospore; thioredoxin; Thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase;

    Sammanfattning : Bacillus subtilis is a model organism for endospore-forming gram-positive bacteria. Endospores are formed in response to nutrient starvation. They can resist harsh environments and last for long periods of time. Once nutrients again become available, the endospore can germinate and the vegetative life cycle be resumed. LÄS MER
