New method provides insight into complex carbohydrates from lactic acid bacteriaFrom lactic acid bacteria to the future of food and medicine: Ahmad Tsjokajev at NMBU has developed methods that could transform research on bacterial carbohydrates.
Fighting dairy waste: How microbes shape milk quality and shelf lifeMilk and fermented dairy products are important in Norway, but are highly vulnerable to bacterial spoilage. In her PhD, Veronica Moscone studied how microbial growth during processing and storage affe…
Young researchers gather at NMBU to tackle environmental challenges in the ArcticHow do microplastics, climate change, and environmental pollutants affect the Arctic? These were among the key questions explored by 19 early-career researchers from four countries during the ArcSolut…
Unlocking the Secrets of Seaweed: Enzymes and Fucoidans from Brown AlgaeBrown seaweeds produce complex carbohydrates called fucoidans, which play a role in carbon sequestration and show promise in medical and industrial applications. In his PhD research, Diego Sebastian R…
Exploring the potential of raffinose oligosaccharides from pulsesPhilipp Philipp Garbers' doctoral thesis argues that raffinose oligosaccharides (RFOs) found in peas and beans should not merely be degraded or removed, but instead isolated and purposefully used as f…
New knowledge on the fermenting of plant-based foodsIn a new phd-thesis, Charlotte Bauer Munch-Andersen investigate how autochthonous lactic acid bacteria can be applied as starter cultures for the fermentation of cereals and pulses, to improve the fun…
New research could lead to more efficient marine monitoringIn a new doctoral thesis from NMBU, Melcy Philip aims to develop rapid and efficient bioinformatic methods to predict the impact of aquaculture on the seafloor. The new methods could revolutionize the…
New research contradicts previous findings on enzymatic degradation of plasticSeveral researchers have tried to find enzymes in nature that can degrade plastic. Such a discovery was published as groundbreaking research in 2022, but now a research team from Norway and the US has…
Researchers create first ever resource of Atlantic salmon-derived bacterial genomesTo make salmon farming more sustainable and the salmon healthier, we need to replace seafood-based salmon feed with other types of feed. But how do gut bacteria help the salmon digest the feed and abs…
