BIOMOL-Molekylær biovitenskap og bioteknologi

International conference on the biology and biotechnology of thermophilic microorganisms; Thermophiles 2007

Thermophilic microorganisms thrive at temperatures from about 60 to above 100 oC. Those growing optimally above 80 oC are termed hyperthermophiles. The most hyperthermophilic organism characterized so far is able to grow at temperatures up to 113 oC, but microbial growth has even been recorded at...

International workshop on ions in bacteria

The rationale for organizing this type of workshop is that the ion content in cells is strongly related to the cellular physiology. On a broad basis we will discuss the interactions between compatible organic solutes and inorganic ions with respect to cel lular levels, transport, and availability...

Metabolic scaling in teleosts

Metabolic scaling is a widely recognised problem in biology. The underlying causes for the disproportionate relationship between the metabolic rate of an organism and its body size have long puzzled scientists, and continue to be controversial. In recent years this fascinating subject has been tr...

Mouse models for studying oxidative demethylation of DNA and RNA

It was recently discovered that the AlkB protein from E. coli uses a novel mechanism, termed oxidative demethylation, to remove deleterious methyl lesions from DNA and RNA. Eight mammalian AlkB homologues, denoted ABH1 - ABH8 (mABH1-8 in mice), exist, and two of these, ABH2 and ABH3, have been s...

Functional characterisation of AlkB-like macromolecular demethylases

We have recently discovered a novel mechanism for repairing methylation damage in DNA and RNA. The repair reaction occurs by oxidative demethylation, and can be performed both by human and bacterial AlkB proteins. Eight different AlkB-like proteins are fo und in the human genome, and the project ...

Surviving without oxygen - from heart function to DNA replication

While most vertebrates die within minutes of anoxia (no oxygen), a few species can tolerate anoxia about 1000 times longer. These include the crucian carp (Carassius carassius, No: karuss), a common fish in Norway, and some turtles. Anoxia and ischemia related diseases are the major killers in ...

Nitric oxide regulation of development in fish: emphasis on the light-brain-pituitary axis and gill during salmon smoltification

Development of organs and tissues occur during critical periods throughout life. Specific systems develop at specific stages, e.g. early development (organogenesis) and smoltification (light-brain-pituitary axis (LBP) and gill). Our research has shown the LBP and gill undergo morphological, mole...

Genetic diversity and speciation in ancient inbreeding lineages

Genetic diversity drives evolution. Processes which erode genetic variation, such as self-fertilization and sibling mating, are therefore expected to reduce the long-term survival of inbred lineages. Paradoxically, we do find ancient, species-rich lineage s in nature which have been inbreeding fo...

With increasing numbers of farmed cod kept in sea-pens in coastal areas it is necessary to address the potential impacts of cod aquaculture on the local environment. Of particular concern is the effect of cod that escape from net-...

Zooplankton life cycles at high latitudes: how is seasonal food availability and predation pressure affecting fat storing strategies?

Animals at high latitudes often face the challenge of a short feeding season. Many marine copepods are adapted to such environments.
