  1. 21. Bacteria that escape predation : waterborne pathogens and their relatives

    Författare :Karolina I. A. Eriksson; Agneta Andersson; Johanna Thelaus; Jon Ahlinder; David Sundell; Klaus Jürgens; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bacterial pathogens; protozoa; predation resistance; aquatic microbiology; climate change; opportunists; humification; iron; environmental science; miljövetenskap; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : The hidden presence of opportunistic bacterial pathogens in the environment evokes concerns about emerging diseases, especially in the light of climate change. The co-evolution of bacteria and their predators (protozoa) has led to bacterial defence strategies of which some contribute to the ability of bacteria to cause disease. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Narrowing the gap between network models and real complex systems

    Författare :Alcides Viamontes Esquivel; Martin Rosvall; Joachim Mathiesen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; complex systems; network science; community detection; model selection; signficance analysis; ergodicity; fysik; Physics;

    Sammanfattning : Simple network models that focus only on graph topology or, at best, basic interactions are often insufficient to capture all the aspects of a dynamic complex system. In this thesis, I explore those limitations, and some concrete methods of resolving them. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Ultrafast Structural Changes in a Bacterial Photosynthetic Reaction Center probed with XFEL Radiation

    Författare :Robert Dods; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photosynthesis; Reaction Center; Time-resolved crystallography; XFEL; membrane protein;

    Sammanfattning : Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and many species of bacteria convert energy from sunlight into chemical energy used to power their metabolism. As these plants and bacteria are eaten, the chemical energy moves up the food chain and thus photosynthesis provides fuel for almost all life on Earth. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Microbial communities in anammox and nitrifying biofilms

    Författare :Carolina Suarez; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biofilms; AOB; partial nitritation anammox; nitrification; wastewater;

    Sammanfattning : Excess of nitrogen in water bodies causes eutrophication. One important source of nitrogen is the effluent from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Nitrogen in wastewater is most commonly removed by nitrification-denitrification. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Consequences of consumer-resource stoichiometric imbalance in planktonic food webs

    Författare :Junwen Guo; Mehdi Cherif; Tanguy Daufresne; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; environmental science; miljövetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Resource imbalance between consumers and their resources can come from inadequate resource quantity or quality. The ecological stoichiometry theory focuses on understanding the consequences of imbalance in elemental composition.  In this thesis, I have used both resource quality (e.g. LÄS MER
