  1. 1. Anaerobic cellulose degrading bacteria isolated from biogas plants

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Caroline Sjöberg; [2023]
    Keywords : anaerobic bacteria; biogas; cellulose; cellobiose; VFA; enzyme activity; TRFLP;

    Abstract : Two cellulose degrading bacteria, named BCISO-4 and DC1-18-4, were isolated from samples retrieved from two large scale biogas-plants. In order to investigate and determine information regarding their growth preferences multiple tests were performed. READ MORE

  3. 2. Purification, activity assays and crystallization of GtCel45A - a small cellulase enzyme from the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum expressed in Aspergillus nidulans

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturbiologi

    Author : Louise Fitkin; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cellulose is the most abundant polymer on earth. It is one of the main components in lignocellulosic biomass, which has great potential as a renewable energy source. To utilize the biomass, for instance in biofuel production, cellulose needs to be degraded. READ MORE

  4. 3. Cellobiose dehydrogenase from Clonostachys rosea: Production, purification and activity analysis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturbiologi

    Author : Terese Larsson; [2021]
    Keywords : cellobiose dehydrogenase; CDH; Clonostachys rosea; DCIP assay;

    Abstract : Biological control agents are a promising niche to replace chemical pesticides for treating plant pathogens in agriculture. A potential biocontrol agent is the microparasitic fungi Clonostachys rosea which has the ability to attack various plant pathogens such as other fungi and nematodes. READ MORE

  5. 4. Effect of nutrient limitation in chemostat cultures on amino acid excretion in Clostridium thermocellum

    University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

    Author : Chonticha Phongsawat; [2019]
    Keywords : Biotechnology; ethanol; Clostridium; chemostat; nitrogen;

    Abstract : Introduction: Clostridium thermocellum is considered a model organism forconsolidated bioprocessing, due to its ability to hydrolyze lignocellulosicbiomass more efficiently than many other organisms and to produce ethanol.In order to meet the industrial requirements of ethanol yield and titer, metabolicengineering efforts have been made resulting in a strain that successfullydisplays increased ethanol yield with reduced amount of some byproducts.

  6. 5. Activity and synergistic action on cellulosic substrates of engineered product-site variants of Hypocrea jecorina Cel7A

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Molecular Biology (until 131231)

    Author : Umair Saleem; [2012]
    Keywords : cellulase; cellobiohydrolase; lignocellulose; biofuel; protein engineering; biotechnology; thermochemical pretreatment; spruce;

    Abstract : Cellobiohydrolase Cel7A (Hje_Cel7A) from the ascomycete fungus Hypocrea jecorina is the major component of enzyme cocktails for degradation of plant biomass to soluble sugars for conversion to biofuels. It’s active site is enclosed in a cellulose-binding tunnel and it is able to processively cleave off several cellobiose units from the end of a cellulose chain before being released. READ MORE
