  1. 1. Functional characterization of sterol regulatory element transcription factors in the biocontrol fungus Clonostachys rosea

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Alma Gustavsson Ruus; [2022]
    Keywords : SREBP; Sterol Regulatory Element Binding Protein; Sterol regulatory element transcription factor; INSIG; SCAP; Clonostachys rosea; biological control; hypoxia; antagonism; Botrytis cinerea; Fusarium graminearum; Boscalid; Proline; prothioconazole; Integrated Pest Management;

    Abstract : Phytopathogens account for a large portion of the yield loss in the world today. Developing sustainable strategies to limit their effect for increasing food safety and security is one of important challenge for agriculture and horticulture production systems. READ MORE

  3. 2. Does SCP-2 promote the expression of foreign proteins in Escherichia coli?

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Isak Mikkola; [2016]
    Keywords : CAT∆9; Escherichia coli; GFP; inclusion body; pET-15b; SCP-2; solubility tag;

    Abstract : Expression of foreign proteins in host organisms usually results in the development of insoluble, inactive proteins. Further, these proteins have a tendency to form aggregates termed inclusion bodies. However, the formation of inclusion bodies can be avoided by fusing the gene encoding the foreign protein to a highly soluble protein. READ MORE

  4. 3. Can Sterol Carrie Protein-2 function as a solubility tag in E.coli?

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biologi

    Author : Amanda Lundén; [2016]
    Keywords : CATΔ9; E.coli; GFP; pET-15b; protein expression; recombinant proteins; SCP-2; Solubility tag;

    Abstract : Expressing foreign proteins in E.coli is a major challenge because they often tend to develop into unsolvable and inactive proteins. They aggregate into so called  inclusion bodies which prevent expression of the protein. READ MORE

  5. 4. Oxysterols inhibit plant Sterol methyl transferase type-1 enzyme activity in vitro

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Biology and Forest Genetics (until 131231)

    Author : Taraneh Shirazi; [2013]
    Keywords : oxysterol; sterol; sterol methyl transferase; plant secondary metabolism;

    Abstract : Sterols are important structural components of eukaryotic cell membranes, where they influence membrane fluidity and permeability. Sterols contain a four-ring structure with a hydrocarbon side-chain. The sterol composition and structure differs among plants, mammals and fungi. READ MORE

  6. 5. Lipid stability of dehydrated beef strips stored in two packaging types

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Food Science

    Author : Hannah Presswood; [2012]
    Keywords : vacuum frying; lipids; free fatty acids; tocopherols; totox; packaging; PET; aluminium foil laminate; sterol oxidation products;

    Abstract : Meat is an excellent source of many essential nutrients and makes an important contribution to a balanced diet. Vacuum frying is the technique of deep frying foods under vacuum, and is essentially a dehydration process that develops the desirable sensory properties of traditional fried foods. READ MORE
