Methods and Applications in Comparative Bacterial Genomics

Comparative reports of bacterial genomics, now counting in the 100s, produce enormous amounts of information. To be able to support an organized and successful strategy to genomic analyses, a database powered program with graphic visualization of genomic qualities was created – GenComp. The application was employed on studies of obligate intracellular bacteria.

The ecological significance of sexual reproduction in peat mosses (Sphagnum)

This thesis describes the target selection, cloning, expression, purification, crystallization, structure and biochemical characterization of five essential Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) proteins. The search for drugs against the causal agent of tuberculosis is urgently needed and the targeting of essential genes is necessary

Infaunal Effects on Permeable Sediment Processes

The role of infauna on permeable sediment processes is poorly understood due to methodological limitations and a lack of empirical data. The interactions among porewater flows, sediments, and biogenic structures present a physically and … Contents Chapter 1: Executive Summary: Infaunal Effects
