Long-term Carbon Storage in Cryoturbated Arctic Soils - CryoCARB

Organic carbon stored in permafrost soils of the Arctic is one of the largest carbon reservoirs globally and is vulnerable to climate change. Despite its undisputed importance, the amount of arctic soil organic carbon (SOC) remains ambiguous and poorly co nstrained. A significant proportion of th...

FUGE-Funksjonell genomforskn.i Norg

Silicon Cell Model for the central carbohydrate metabolism of the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus under temperature variation

Temperature changes are not only most difficult to deal with for organisms, it is also unclear how biological networks can withstand and respond to such changes. Even slight differences between the rates of individual reactions in metabolic pathways shoul d cause rapid accumulation or depletion o...

Functional Metagenomics to Study Prokaryotes from Arctic/ Sub-Arctic Springs of Hydrothermal Origin

The majority, in fact >99 % of the microorganisms on this planet have not yet been cultured in the laboratory and therefore have remained mostly uncharacterized and also unexploited for biotechnological purposes. Recent advancements in genomic technologie s, so called metagenomics, now allow to s...
