ELISA-tests are heavily used in the agricultural sector to analyse crops and seeds for various virus antigens. There are two aims in this project, which are processed together with our partners from industry and academia. The first aim is finding and characterising new highly active enzymes for use in the…
In recent years, growing evidence shows that the microbes in our body are highly involved in our overall health. Specially, gut microbiota is key to human diseases and health, and nutrition may influ-ence its composition and balance. Recent studies have shown that vitamins delivered to the colonic microbiota may prevent…
