Putnu koloniju ietekme uz iegrimušo augu veģetāciju Engures ezerā
2020
Maģistra darbs “Putnu koloniju ietekme uz iegrimušo augu veģetāciju Engures ezerā” tika sākts izstrādāt 2018. gada augustā. Materiāli ievākti 2018. gada augustā un septembrī. Darba izstrāde veikta Latvijas Universitātes Bioloģijas fakultātes Botānikas un ekoloģijas katedrā. Darba mērķis ir noteikt putnu koloniju ietekmi uz iegrimušo veģetāciju Engures ezerā. Engures ezers ir mieturaļģu ezers, kura ekosistēmā pēdējos gados notiek izmaiņas, ko veicinājušas nesen izveidotās kormorānu Phalacrocarax carbo kolonijas. To ietekme uz ezeru līdz šim nav pētīta. Kļuvis vairāk arī gulbju Cygnus olor un lauču Fulica atra, kas barojas ar mieturaļģēm. Tiek paredzēts, ka eitrofikācijas rezultātā mieturaļģe…
Status of vulnerable Cystoseira populations along the Italian infralittoral fringe, and relationships with environmental and anthropogenic variables
2018
We analyzed the occurrence and status of infralittoral fringe populations of Cystoseira spp. (Fucales) at thirteen rocky sites around the Italian coastline, and explored the relationships with relevant environmental and anthropogenic variables. We found Cystoseira populations at 11 sites: most were scattered and comprised monospecific stands of C. compressa, and only 6 sites also supported sparse specimens of either C. amentacea var. stricta or C. brachycarpa. Coastal human population density, Chlorophyll a seawater concentrations, sea surface temperature, annual range of sea surface temperature and wave fetch explained most of the variation of the status of C. compressa. We hypothesize a g…
Clostridium ģints baktēriju noteikšana dzeramajā ūdenī izmantojot Fluorescento in situ hibridizāciju
2015
Bakalaura darba mērķis bija ātri un precīzi identificēt dzeramajā ūdenī Clostridium ģints baktērijas izmantojot Fluorescento in situ hibridizāciju. Līdz ar to tika izmērīts un salīdzināts fluorescences intensitātes līmenis dažādām Clostridium sugām, kā arī citiem mikroorganismiem izmantojot Clostridium spp. specifiskas fluorescentās zondes. 92% no Clostridium acetobutylicum izmērītam šūnām, relatīvās gaismas vienības (RLU) pārsniedza 500 vienību robežu, 99% no Clostridium beijernickii un 96% no Clostridium tetahomorphum, salīdzinājumā ar Sphingomonas paucimobilis, kur tikai 2% pārsniedza 300 RLU. Veiktais variācijas analīzes tests (ANOVA) liecināja, ka starp Clostridium ģints baktērijām un …
Planktonic foraminifera in ODP Hole 160-963A
2006
New faunal and floral records from Ocean Drilling Project Hole 963A, resolved at ?80-year spacing, provide evidence of suborbital scale climate variability in the central Mediterranean Sea throughout Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5. Cold events in the central Mediterranean Sea, indicated by low abundances of warm species and high abundances of cold species, are also evident in a planktonic foraminifera paleoclimatic curve. They have been linked to NGRIP Greenland ice core “C” events and appear correlative with similar sub-millennial climate fluctuations identified in the North Atlantic region and in the Alboran Basin (Westernmost Mediterranean). Low-resolution benthic and planktonic Oxygen Iso…
Phosphorus NMR as a tool to study mineralization of organophosphonates—The ability of Spirulina spp. to degrade glyphosate
2007
Abstract A commercially available mixed culture of Spirulina spp. exhibited a remarkable ability to degrade the widely used organophosphorus herbicide glyphosate, that served as sole source of either phosphorus or nitrogen for cyanobacterial growth. 31P NMR analysis of spent media appeared to be an effective and simple technique to follow disappearance of the phosphonate and release of inorganic phosphate in biodegradation process(es).
Impact of biocide treatments on the bacterial communities of the Lascaux Cave.
2009
The Lascaux Cave contains a remarkable set of paintings from the Upper Palaeolithic. Shortly after discovery in 1940, the cave was modified for public viewing and, in 2001, was invaded by a Fusarium solani species complex. Benzalkonium chloride was used from 2001 to 2004 to eliminate the fungal outbreak. In this study, we carried out a sampling in most of the cave halls and galleries. Sequence analysis and isolation methods detected that the most abundant genera of bacteria were Ralstonia and Pseudomonas. We suggest that, as a result of years of benzalkonium chloride treatments, the indigenous microbial community has been replaced by microbial populations selected by biocide application.

No ķirurģiskā materiāla izdalīto Klebsiella spp. baktēriju β-laktamāžu producēšanas noteikšana
2021
Klebsiella pneumoniae un Klebsiella oxytoca ir Gram-negatīvas nosacīti patogēnas baktērijas, kas izraisa urīnceļu, plaušu u.c. orgānu infekcijas. Klebsiella spp. raksturo plaša rezistence pret β-laktāmu antibakteriālajiem līdzekļiem, kur klīniski nozīmīgāka ir paplašināta darbības spektra β-laktamāze (ESBL). Darbā apkopota literatūra par Klebsiella spp. morfoloģiju, infekcijām, antibakteriālu terapiju un tās rezistences mehānismiem. Praktiskajā daļā tika iegūti Klebsiella spp. antibakteriālas jutības dati, pamatojoties uz disku difūzijas testiem (DDT), E-testiem, un arī lietojot molekulārbioloģiskās izmeklēšanas metodes: DNA STRIP® tehnoloģiju. Pētījums tika veikts Rīgas Traumatoloģijas un …
Photo-thermal control of surface plasmon mode propagation at telecom wavelengths
2016
Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) is the promising versatile platform proposed for guiding electromagnetic waves at nanoscale dimensions. In this context dynamic control of SPPs prop- agation is of paramount importance. Thermo-optical (TO) effect is considered as an efficient technique for performing active control of plasmonic devices. Among the thermo-optical based plasmonic devices demonstrated so far TO coefficient is dominantly provided by a dielectric material on top of the metal sustaining the SPP mode, however, the role of TO properties of the metal has been rarely investigated for plasmonic applications especially at the telecom frequency ranges. Therefore, the aim of this thesis i…
