Several research and/or company studies provided evidence of this development and its impact on leading companies’ efficiency an

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Antikroppar, även kallade immunoglobuliner, är proteiner som utgör en viktig del i vårt försvar mot infektioner genom att de kan binda och neutralisera ämnen som uppfattas som främmande, t ex bakterier, virus eller produkter som produceras av dessa organismer. Antikropparna består av en antigen-bindande variabel del som binder till deMany bacteria express immunoglobulin(Ig)-binding proteins that interact with Ig in a non-immune manner. Several of these Ig-binding bacterial proteins have been well characterized and are widely used as reagents for analysis and purification of Ig's. Protein G found on group C and G streptococci has affinity for constant regions of IgG heavy chains, whereas protein L found on Peptostreptococcus ma

A novel ethanol-producing thermoanaerobe Caloramator boliviensis 45BT (=DSM 22065T, =CCUG 57396T) was isolated from a hot spring of the Bolivian highlands. C. boliviensis possesses the ability to utilize a wide range of substrates and can efficiently convert hexoses and pentoses into ethanol with concomitant production of acetate, carbon dioxide and hydrogen as by-products of fermentation. However

The COVID-19 pandemic, and related changes of the gambling market, have been suspected to affect the risk of problem gambling. Despite media attention and political concern with this risk, study findings hitherto have been mixed. Voluntary self-exclusion from gambling was introduced on a national level in Sweden as a harm reduction tool in 2019, and this self-exclusion service in Sweden is a rare
