• Composition analysis and minimal treatments to solubilize 6 polysaccharides from the brown seaweed Laminaria digitata 7 for microbial growth of thermophiles 

      Allahgoli, Leila; Sardari, Roya; Hakvåg, Sigrid; Ara, Kazi; Kristjansdottir, Thordis Anna; Aasen, Inga Marie; Fridjonsson, Olafur; Brautaset, Trygve; Hreggvidsson, Gudmundur O.; Nordberg Karlsson, Eva (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Brown macroalgae (Phaeophyta) hold high potential as feedstock for biorefineries due to high biomass productivity and carbohydrate content. They are, however, a challenging, unconventional feedstock for microbial refining ...
    • The fate of conventional and potentially degradable gillnets in a seawater-sediment system 

      Brakstad, Odd Gunnar; Sørensen, Lisbet; Hakvåg, Sigrid; Føre, Heidi Moe; Su, Biao; Aas, Marianne; Ribicic, Deni; Grimaldo, Eduardo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Abandoned gillnets in the marine environment represent a global environmental risk due to the ghost fishing caused by the nets. Degradation of conventional nylon gillnets was compared to that of nets made of poly- butylene ...
    • Korrosjon av stål i ferskvann 

      Bengtsson Blucher, Daniel; Knudsen, Ole Øystein; Brakstad, Odd Gunnar; Hakvåg, Sigrid; Johnsen, Roy (SINTEF Rapport;2024:00237, Research report, 2022)
      Det er i dag en diskusjon gående om korrosjon og korrosjonsmonn på pæler som skal stå i Mjøsa. Mjøsa er ferskvann, og det gjelder pæler på lengder opp mot 100 meter, og ca 50 meter av pælen vil stå i ferskvannet. Det er ...
    • Oxidation of methane in seawater - Laboratory experiments and the use of models - OC2022 A-114 

      Brakstad, Odd Gunnar; Nordam, Tor; Øverjordet, Ida B.; Almås, Inger Kjersti; Rønsberg, Marianne Unaas; Molid, Marianne A.; Aas, Marianne; Hakvåg, Sigrid (SINTEF Ocean rapporter;OC2022 A-114, Research report, 2022-12-16)
      Oxidation of methane was determined in this project by two methods: Stable isotope analyses (13CH4) and by the use of tritium-labelled methane (3H-CH4). The intentions of the project were to obtain methane oxidation rates ...
    • Production of Value-Added Chemicals by Bacillus methanolicus Strains Cultivated on Mannitol and Extracts of Seaweed Saccharina latissima at 50C 

      Hakvåg, Sigrid; Nærdal, Ingemar; Heggeset, Tonje Marita Bjerkan; Kristiansen, Kåre Andre; Aasen, Inga Marie; Brautaset, Trygve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The facultative methylotroph Bacillus methanolicus MGA3 has previously been genetically engineered to overproduce the amino acids L-lysine and L-glutamate and their derivatives cadaverine and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) ...
