Investigating the Disordered and Membrane-Active Peptide A-Cage-C Using Conformational Ensembles
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The driving forces and conformational pathways leading to amphitropic protein-membrane binding and in some cases also to protein misfolding and aggregation is the subject of intensive research. In this study, a chimeric ... -
Utilization of dietary minerals in Atlantic salmon fed blue mussel silage
(Master thesis, 2021-11-22) -
Coastal heathland vegetation is surprisingly resistant to experimental drought across successional stages and latitude
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In the last decade, several major dwarf-shrub dieback events have occurred in northern European coastal heathlands. These dieback events occur after extended periods with sub-zero temperatures under snow-free conditions ... -
Flow Cytometric Analysis of Bacterial Protein Synthesis: Monitoring Vitality After Water Treatment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Bacterial vitality after water disinfection treatment was investigated using bio-orthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) and flow cytometry (FCM). Protein synthesis activity and DNA integrity (BONCAT–SYBR ... -
Behavioural economics in fisheries: A systematic review protocol
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background The field of behavioural economics holds several opportunities for integrated fisheries management and conservation and can help researchers and managers alike understand fisher behaviour and decision-making. ... -
Mixture effects of environmental contaminants in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) : Combining experimental approaches to study contaminant-induced biological responses
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-01-15)Release of chemicals from anthropogenic activities is considered a substantial threat to the global environment. Marine ecosystems are sinks for accumulation of contaminants, therefore marine organisms are highly susceptible ... -
Validation of a species-specific eDNA-based test system for detecting non-indigenous American lobster Homarus americanus
(Master thesis, 2021-11-22) -
Toxicity assessment of urban marine sediments from Western Norway using a battery of stress-activated receptors and cell-based bioassays from fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A luciferase reporter gene-based bioassay battery consisting of stress-activated receptors from fish, complemented with traditional fish cell-based bioassays, were used to assess the toxicity of marine sediment samples ... -
Structural and functional analyses of the neutral amino acid transporter SLC7A10 in adipocytes
(Master thesis, 2021-11-22) -
The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex in the development of Nematostella vectensis: Expression analyses and generation of a mutant by genome editing
(Master thesis, 2021-12-03)The development and function of cells in the nervous system and the musculature require regulated interactions with the extracellular matrix. The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex is an important regulator of these interactions. ... -
Ion transporters and osmoregulation in the kidney of teleost fishes as a function of salinity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-20)Euryhaline teleosts exhibit major changes in renal function as they move between freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW) environments, thus tolerating large fluctuations in salinity. In FW, the kidney excretes large volumes of ... -
Quantification of grazing efficacy, growth and health score of different lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) families: possible size and gender effects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)To investigate the possible family influence on sea lice grazing of lumpfish on Atlantic salmon, ten families of lumpfish (N = 480) with a mean (± SD) weight of 54.8 ± 9.2 g were distributed among ten sea cages (5 × 5 × 5 ... -
The seasonally dry tropical forest species Cavanillesia chicamochae has a middle Quaternary origin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We use DNA sequence data to understand the evolutionary history of the genus Cavanillesia (Malvaceae), with particular emphasis on C. chicamochae, an emblematic succulent-trunked tree endemic to seasonally dry tropical ... -
Characteristics of DNA polymerase I from an extreme thermophile, Thermus scotoductus strain K1
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Several native and engineered heat-stable DNA polymerases from a variety of sources are used as powerful tools in different molecular techniques, including polymerase chain reaction, medical diagnostics, DNA sequencing, ... -
A review of the use of microplastics in reconstructing dated sedimentary archives
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Buried microplastics (plastics, <5 mm) have been documented within the sediment column of both marine and lacustrine environments. However, the number of peer-review studies published on the subject remains limited and ... -
Food intake, growth, and expression of neuropeptides regulating appetite in clown anemonefish (Amphiprion ocellaris) exposed to predicted climate changes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The clown anemonefish (Amphiprion ocellaris) is a common model species in studies assessing the impact of climate changes on tropical coral fish physiology, metabolism, growth, and stress. However, the basic endocrine ... -
Protein Enrichment of Wheat Bread with Microalgae: Microchloropsis gaditana, Tetraselmis chui and Chlorella vulgaris
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Cell wall disrupted and dried Microchloropsis gaditana (Mg), Tetraselmis chui (Tc) and Chlorella vulgaris (Cv) microalgae biomasses, with or without ethanol pre‐treatment, were added to wheat bread at a wheat flour ... -
Consistent trait-environment relationships within and across tundra plant communities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A fundamental assumption in trait-based ecology is that relationships between traits and environmental conditions are globally consistent. We use field-quantified microclimate and soil data to explore if trait–environment ... -
Macroecological context predicts species' responses to climate warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Context-dependencies in species' responses to the same climate change frustrate attempts to generalize and make predictions based on experimental and observational approaches in biodiversity science. Here, we propose ... -
The evolution of the metazoan Toll receptor family and its expression during protostome development
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in immunity and development. They contain leucine-rich repeat domains, one transmembrane domain, and one Toll/IL-1 receptor domain. TLRs have been classified into ...
