  1. 1. Binuclear zinc transcription factors and the regulation of patulin biosynthesis in the filamentous Ascomycete Penicillium expansum

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Author : Robert Hansen Jagrelius; [2021]
    Keywords : secondary fungal metabolism; penicillium expansum; patulin; binuclear zinc transcription factors; dimerization; deepcoil; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis investigated the regulation of patulin production in Penicillium expansum in relation to fungal global regulators as well as the cluster-specific binuclear zinc transcription factor (BZTF) patL in silico. It also explored the state of BZTF research in filamentous ascomycetes fungi, and questioned if results in Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be freely translated to other taxonomic groups. READ MORE

  3. 2. Scrape off or throw away? : consumer attitudes to mouldy foods at home

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Lotta Jonasson; [2020]
    Keywords : mould; survey; consumer; food waste; mycotoxin;

    Abstract : Knowledge about how consumers handle mouldy food products at home is limited. It is of interest to investigate these aspects more closely, since some moulds can produce mycotoxins and other secondary metabolites that could be harmful to human health. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of the antagonistic activity of Rhodotorula babjevae and its extracellular compounds towards postharvest pathogens

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Caroline Sandberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Rhodotorula babjevae; PEFA; postharvest pathogens; yeast; mold;

    Abstract : The growing population ultimately puts pressure on the food industry to become more effi-cient and to reduce postharvest food waste. The leading method of reducing postharvest decay of fruits has been through fungicide application. READ MORE

  5. 4. Biopreservation effects with Wickerhamomyces anomalus after 2 months moist airtight storage of sorghum

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Louise Nybogård; [2016]
    Keywords : wickerhamomyces anomalus; sorghum; storage; biocontrol; biopreservation; food loss;

    Abstract : Today one third of all produced food is thrown away and one reason for this is microbial spoilage. Hunger and malnutrition in Africa could be reduced if the food loss is reduced. Wickerhamomyces anomalus is a possible biocontrol agent in food science that has shown antifungal and antibacterial effects on, for example, stored barley. READ MORE

  6. 5. Mykotoxiner i hästfoder

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Åsa Andersson; [2016]
