1. 11. Analyses of microbial community in nutrient solution with biofertilizer and risk assessment of establishment of pathogens

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Julia Södergren; [2020]
   Keywords : Biofertilizer; hydroponic; 16S rRNa sequencing; challenge testing; calorimetry; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The societal interest for a more sustainable and circular food production is increasing. Hydroponic farming is an alternative way of growing vegetables that can bring farming into urban environments, reducing long transports of food. In parallel, the focus in waste treatment is being more directed toward resource recovery. READ MORE

3. 12. Development of a Near Infrared Spectroscopy Model for Prediction of Fibre Compounds in Alfalfa

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Christina Andersen; [2020]
   Keywords : alfalfa; lucerne; medicago sativa; green protein powder; NIR; near infrared spectroscopy; model development; matlab; PLS; partial least squares; PCA; principal component analysis; SNV; standard normal variate; fibre prediction; TDF; total dietary fibre; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Background: This project investigates if it is possible to develop a calibration model from near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic measurements, for determination of the amount and type of fibre fractions within protein powder produced from the legume alfalfa, without performing wet experiments. Alfalfa is also known as Medicago sativa and lucerne, but is in this project further referred to as alfalfa. READ MORE

4. 13. Evaluating the behaviour of probiotic Bacillus coagulans XY1 in fruit juices and survival during heat treatment

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Viktoria Trulsson; [2020]
   Keywords : Fruit juice; Bacillus coagulans XY1; probiotic; storage stability; heat treatment; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

   Abstract : It has become more important for people worldwide to eat and drink products that offer us health- promoting benefits, which traditional foods do not possess. These kinds of products are called functional foods and have been fortified using vitamins, minerals or probiotics among others. READ MORE

5. 14. Evaluating Sugar Signaling during Xylose Oxidation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Viktor Persson; [2020]
   Keywords : Saccharomyces cerevisiae; yeast; xylose oxidation; sugar signaling; biosensor; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The sugar signaling state of cells oxidizing xylose was investigated through the chromosomal integration of the Weimberg pathway into previously established biosensor strains capable of monitoring the Snf3p/Rgt2p, SNF1/Mig1p, and cAMP/PKA pathways through the expression of HXT1, SUC2, and TPS1, respectively. Ultimately, two new strains were successfully developed containing both the Weimberg pathway and a biosensor for either HXT1 (TMB CB 112) or TPS1 (TMB CB 117). READ MORE

6. 15. Evaluation of detection methods for Alicyclobacillus spp, aerobic mesophilic microorganisms and yeasts and moulds

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Ella Lagerwall; [2020]
   Keywords : Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris; fruit juice; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : For the fruit juice industry, control of microbial growth is important to keep a high quality and safety of products. Several kinds of microorganisms are important to consider. This project focused on Alicyclobacillus spp. READ MORE
