  1. 1. Microbial production of chemical building blocks from lignin

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Kevin Bertilsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Lignin; Green plastic; Vanillin; Microbial production; Applied microbiology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Plastics, derived from fossil fuels, have raised considerable environmental concerns. This has prompted the search for sustainable and safer plastic precursors alternatives. One alternative explored in the present study is vanillin, a phenolic compound derived from lignin, an abundant and renewable natural polymer. READ MORE

  3. 2. Biokinetic Characterization of Methane Oxidizing Microbiomes Co-metabolizing Trace Organic Chemicals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Hugo Möller; [2024]
    Keywords : Methanotrophs; organic micropollutants; co-metabolism; biodegradation; applied microbiology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater effluents is concerning, as they pose a threat to human and aquatic health. Biodegradation via methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is an attractive option, as the method is cheap and effective. MOB can co-metabolize a variety of substrates, there among organic micropollutants.

  4. 3. Systematic Multi-Parametric Analysis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) Flow Cytometry Drug Screens using Flowty

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Augusta Jensen; [2023]
    Keywords : Acute myeloid leukemia; AML; cellular subpopulations; data analysis; precision medicine; Flowty; applied microbiology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease, making it difficult to treat. The standard treatment is intensive chemotherapy and has not changed in 40 years. However, recently new drugs and as less intensive treatment regimens have been approved in the US and in Europe. However. READ MORE

  5. 4. Method development of flow cytometry analysis of yeast and lactic acid bacteria viability for alcohol fermentation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Megha Komahan; [2023]
    Keywords : Flow cytometry; yeast; lactic acid bacteria; fermentation; cell viability; applied microbiology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The usage of yeast in conventional brewing techniques involving alcoholic fermentation is an age-old process. Analyzing the viability and obtaining physiological information regarding the microbial diversity of the fermentation samples plays a pivotal role in obtaining real-time information as well as developing a more efficient process design.

  6. 5. Vaccine development during a pandemic : A case study of an academic research group in Sweden and their vaccine(s) against SARS-CoV-2

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kulturantropologi och etnologi

    Author : Anna Tarnovskaya; [2023]
    Keywords : vaccine development; COVID-19; discursive practices; situational analysis; grounded theory; DNA vaccine;

    Abstract : This ethnographic study examines the multiple ways in which a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 disease and infection is known in an academic research group in Sweden. This academic research group has been working to develop a vaccine since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. READ MORE
