Microbial Communities in the Terrestrial Subsurface
(2025-01-23)Terrestrial subsurface habitats represent a significant portion of Earth's prokaryotic biomass. However, our understanding of microbial diversity and functions in these environments, particularly in arid regions, remains ... -
Identifikation – Von der Speziesbestimmung bis zur Identitätsfeststellung mit Hilfe von ancient DNA-Analysen
(2022-02-24)Molecular genetic analyses can be used to answer central questions in anthropology. These are usually the question of the species origin of bone finds or other biological material and, in the case of a human origin, the ... -
Morphological and molecular adaptation of Aspergillus niger to simulated spaceflight and Mars-like conditions
(2021-10-18)The International Space Station (ISS) is an indoor-closed environment in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Outside of the ISS, radiation is the most challenging factor outside. In turn, inside the ISS, spaceflight microgravity is the ... -
Organic-rich shales as archive and resource for microbial extremophiles
(2021-09-10)Organic-rich shales of sedimentary basins are the most abundant carbon-rich rocks throughout the world, formed as a consequence of different geological events. The repetitive sedimentation of the mudstones, clay particles, ... -
Impact of rainforest conversion: How prokaryotic communities respond to anthropogenic land use changes
(2020-12-03)In this thesis, the impact of rainforest conversion to the managed land use systems jungle rubber, rubber plantation and oil palm plantation on structure and function of soil microbial communities was investigated. The ... -
Distribution and ecological characteristics of members of the Roseobacter group
(2020-08-27)Marine Rhodobacteraceae are collectively referred to as the Roseobacter group, and due to their functional versatility and high abundance in diverse marine habitats, serve as model organisms in the study of microbial ... -
Assessment of antibiotic resistance in soil and its link to different land use types and intensities
(2020-07-15)Nowadays, bacterial infections pose a serious risk for human health again, due to multi-resistant pathogens insensitive to antibiotic treatment. Some of the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) carried by these pathogens ... -
Variability of biofilm formation in Candida glabrata and Candida parapsilosis and its consequences on the infection process
(2019-08-30)The prevalence of Candida species has increased in the last two decades, becoming the third to fourth most common cause of infections in hospitals. In general, Candida spp. are opportunistic pathogens found as commensals ... -
Discovery and Functional Characterization of Novel Soil-metagenome Derived Phosphatases
(2019-07-22)Phosphatases, including phytases, play a major role in phosphorous cycle, cell metabolism, biotechnology, and pathogenic processes. Despite their relevance as biocatalysts, the study of phosphatases/phytases has been almost ... -
Taxonomic and Functional Characterization of Biopolymer-degrading Microbial Communities in the Intestinal Tract of Beavers
(2019-05-09)The mammalian gut harbors a complex and specialized microbiota, which includes all tree domains of life (Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya). Bacteria are the most abundant group within the gut system, and they take part in ... -
Phylogenetic and functional diversity of soil prokaryotic communities in temperate deciduous forests with different tree species
(2019-04-30)Forest ecosystems provide an important contribution to global carbon storage through processes mediated by trees. As the dominant forest vegetation, trees largely drive primary productivity and mediate the flow of aboveground ... -
Symbiotic adaptation of prokaryotic microorganisms in extreme deep-sea environments
(2019-04-10)Extreme deep-sea environments are widespread and intensively studied in the last decades. They are of special interest since living organisms in those habitats happen to live at the expenses of the fluids emitted from the ... -
Characterization of high-density prion protein oligomers in rapid progressive and sporadic Alzheimer’s disease
(2019-03-18)Alzheimer’s disease is the most commonly occurring dementia of the elderly, comprising up to 75% of all the neurodegenerative disorders. Over the past few decades, some atypical AD cases have been reported with a higher ... -
Verticillium dahliae transcription factors Som1 and Vta3 control microsclerotia formation and sequential steps of plant root penetration and colonisation to induce disease
(2018-10-12)Verticillium dahliae belongs to the soil-borne ascomycete fungi. It causes wilt diseases and early senescence in more than 200 plant species including economically important crops. It can exist in the soil without a host ... -
Evolutionary Genomics of Bacillus thuringiensis
(2017-11-07)Nowadays, many evolutionary processes and involved key factors are known but how they influence natural genetic variation and phenotypic traits in bacteria is under debate. However, the mechanism of evolution as well as ... -
Identification and characterization of proteomic regulations in the cerebellum region of brain in MM1 and VV2 subtypes of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD)
(2017-05-17)Sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (sCJD) is a fatal, transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) characterized by broad range of clinical and pathological manifestations. Pathological features of sCJD are largely dependent ... -
Analyse der UPR vermittelten Stressantwort und ihrer Funktion während der biotrophen Entwicklung von<i> Ustilago maydis</i>
(2016-12-09)The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a conserved eukaryotic signaling network that is activated by accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to ensure protein homeostasis. In the baker's yeast ... -
Dependence of soil microbial community structure and function on land use types and management regimes
(2016-11-10)Soil microbial communities are the most diverse assemblages of organisms on earth. They play key roles in nutrient cycling and help prevent soil erosion. Soil microbial communities also harbor many potentially plant-associated ... -
Prokaryotic Biodiversity of Lonar Meteorite Crater Soda Lake Sediment and Community Dynamics During Microenvironmental pH Homeostasis by Metagenomics
(2016-08-24)This thesis is on the Archaea and Bacteria from a hypersaline hyperalkaline lake sediment of a meteorite impact crater named Lonar. We have surveyed the active and the total biodiversity of the sediment from Lonar. We have ... -
