1. Necrotizing enterocolitis - growth, bone health and intestinal microbiota during childhood
Sammanfattning : Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a dreaded gastrointestinal disease primarily affecting infants born preterm. Despite extensive research, NEC is still one of the most devastating diseases in neonatal intensive care. LÄS MER
2. The Gut Bacterial Flora - Focus on Early Life and Physiological Traits
Sammanfattning : The gastrointestinal tract of the foetus is considered sterile but during vaginal birth the neonate comes into contact with bacteria from the maternal vaginal and intestinal microbiota. The main focus of this doctoral thesis was to elucidate the initial bacterial ecosystem in newborns and to relate microbial perturbations to physiological traits. LÄS MER
3. The digestive machinery of a human gut bacterium : Structural enzymology of galactomannan utilisation
Sammanfattning : Human gut bacteria utilise different types of polysaccharides present in our diet. One of these polysaccharides is galactomannan. Many organisms in the phylum Bacteroidetes have gene clusters encoding for all proteins required for hydrolysis, binding and transport of one type of polysaccharide, called polysaccharide utilisation loci (PULs).

4. Lactic acid bacteria fermentations in oat-based suspensions
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the fermentation characteristics of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in oat-based suspensions, with formulation work of fermented products based on oat and with nutritional studies of these products. Changes in structure in terms of viscosity and ropiness were studied when exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing LAB strains, namely, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. LÄS MER
5. Berries in Prevention of Metabolic Disease – focus on obesity, diabetes and gut microbiota
Sammanfattning : The increasing prevalence of obesity is a worldwide health problem closely linked to diet and lifestyle factors. Obesity is associated with increased risk of several metabolic disorders including insulin resistance, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes. LÄS MER
