Microbes may maximize the number of daughter cells per time or per amount of nutrients consumed. These two strategies correspond, respectively, to the use of enzyme-efficient or substrate-efficient metabolic pathways. In ...

Leakage from CO2 storage areas is likely to affect the microbial communities in the overlaying sediments. We have conducted a baseline characterization of the microbial communities present in the surface sediments overlaying ...

1. Surveillance of wildlife diseases is logistically difficult, and imperfect detection is a recurrent challenge for disease estimation. Using citizen science can increase sample sizes, but it is associated with a cost in ...

Many cellular proteins are methylated on lysine residues and this has been most intensively studied for histone proteins. Lysine methylations on non-histone proteins are also frequent, but in most cases the functional ...

Copper–silver ionization (CSI) is an in-house water disinfection method primarily installed to eradicate Legionella bacteria from drinking water distribution systems (DWDS). Its effect on the abundance of culturable ...

Aquaculture is an important industry in Norway, particularly the production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). Health problems and environmental impacts during the seawater stage are limiting factors for the industry. ...

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a mature B-cell malignancy that most often affects the elderly. CLL cells depend on their microenvironment for their extended growth and survival. CLL cells are difficult to grow “in ...

Distribution of micronekton was investigated during early summer of 2013, using data from a cruise covering the central parts of four north Atlantic basins, the Norwegian Sea (NS), Iceland Sea (ICS), Irminger Sea (IRS), ...

Background Previous findings have demonstrated that lumbar radicular pain after disc herniation may be associated with up-regulation of inflammatory mediators. In the present study we examined the possible role of ...
