1. Role of phagotrophy in freshwater phytoplankton
Sammanfattning : Some phytoplankton have the ability to combine phototrophy and heterotrophy within the same individual, which is called mixotrophy. In this thesis, I adress mixotrophy and competitive interactions of mixotrophs and obligate auto- or heterotrophs in relation to the availability of nutrients, light and prey. LÄS MER
2. Effects of starvation and haemorrhage on the large bowel coliform flora with special reference to bacterial mucosal adherence and translocation
Sammanfattning : Intestinal bacteria translocating to extra-intestinal sites have been suggested to play a role in the etiology of posttraumatic infections and multiple organ failure. In the present study, effects of haemorrhagic stress and /or starvation on the gut flora and bacterial translocation were studied in the rat. LÄS MER
3. The importance of terrestrial carbon in plankton food webs
Sammanfattning : Allochthonous substances, i.e. produced in terrestrial ecosystems, are known to fuel bacterial production in humic lakes. I observed that allochthonous carbon subsidizes bacteria even at high levels of phytoplankton biomass. LÄS MER
4. Inhibition of phagocyte signaling by the Yersinia virulence protein YopH
Sammanfattning : Yersinia pseudotuberculosis evades the immediate immune defense of a host organism by inhibiting bactericidal functions of phagocytes, including phagocytosis, cytokine release, and the oxidative burst. Consequently, this pathogen can survive and multiply in lymphatic tissues. An ensemble of proteins called Yops are involved in the virulence of Y. LÄS MER
5. Nitrate, Nitrite and Nitric Oxide in Gastric Mucosal Defense
Sammanfattning : The human stomach normally contains high levels of bioactive nitric oxide (NO). This NO derives from salivary nitrate (NO3-) that is converted to nitrite (NO2-) by oral bacteria and thereafter non-enzymatically reduced in the acidic gastric lumen to NO. LÄS MER
