1. Genomic and morphological diversity of marine planktonic diatom-diazotroph associations : a continuum of integration and diversification through geological time
Sammanfattning : Symbioses between eukaryotes and nitrogen (N2)-fixing cyanobacteria (or diazotrophs) are quite common in the plankton community. A few genera of diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) such as Rhizosolenia, Hemiaulus and Chaetoceros are well known to form symbioses with the heterocystous diazotrophic cyanobacteria Richelia intracellularis and Calothrix rhizosoleniae.

2. Renewable and Scalable Energy Storage Materials Derived from Quinones in Biomass
Sammanfattning : Currently there is an urgent need to reduce the use of fossil fuels, and efficient sustainable energy harvesters from sun and wind have been developed and are widely used for electricity generation. Storage of electrical energy is accordingly necessary to accommodate the time varying supply of wind and solar electricity. LÄS MER
3. Cellular toxicity of quinones : Redox- and addition chemistry
Sammanfattning : Quinoid compounds are widely occurring in nature. They have cytotoxic properties and they are also used as antineoplastic agents. The cytotoxic properties can be explained by the ability of quinones to generate active oxygen species by redox cycling, by addition to cellular nucleophiles, and by inhibition of DNA transcription.

4. Oxidative Trifluoromethylation and other Functionalization Reactions of Alkenes and Alkynes
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the use of various potent oxidants in organic synthesis. The main focus is directed at selectively introducing trifluoromethyl groups into compounds containing double or triple bonds. All reactions proceed under mild conditions and can in most cases be performed on the bench-top. LÄS MER
5. Designing Quinone-based Organic Batteries
Sammanfattning : The demand for secondary energy storage is ever increasing, being at the forefront of the transformation to a sustainable society. Conventional batteries, whose electrode materials require mining and high temperature refining, generate substantial carbon dioxide emissions during production. LÄS MER
