Abstract:
<p>In recent years, antibacterial surfaces have been a subject of increased interest. Especiallyinteresting are non-leaching, contact-active surfaces that physically disrupts the bacterialcell using immobilised cationic polymers. Thus the risks of bacterial resistance and discharge of hazardous biocides is minimised. The assembly of such surfaces is elaborate andusually involves organic solvents. Here, polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) are proposed as an effective surface modification method, with an overall goal of producing antibacterial cellulose fibres. The PEM process is based on physical

Abstract:
Dissertation presented to obtain the Ph.D degree in Biochemistry<br>Sulfate reduction is a very ancient metabolic process and it is responsible for more than 50% of carbon mineralization in anaerobic marine sediments. Sulfate-reducing organisms (SRO) are able to couple the reduction of sulfate to the oxidation of organic compounds, such as lactate or formate, or molecular hydrogen (H2), in order to obtain energy for cell synthesis and growth. Despite recent significant advances, a lot remains to be known about the mechanisms for energy conservation in SRO, and the specific components i

Abstract:
This thesis aims to investigate how SRB endure long periods of nutrient deprivation in the oligotrophic conditions of the North Sea. The presence of small cells in the marine environment has been extensively documented. These small cells are termed ultramicrobacteria, and are defined as being less than 0.3 μm in diameter. The formation of small cells by SRB was postulated to facilitate penetration of SRB deep within oil reservoirs, during water injection, exacerbating SRB associated problems. These studies revealed that a maximum of 15% of starving SRB populations formed UMB. Cultures starved
