How 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…

Brown 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…

Philipp 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…

In 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…

In 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…

Several 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…

To 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…

NMBU will coordinate a new Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network that will advance understanding of how microorganism and host genetics interact. The network will train 11 doctorial students…
