18. End-of-life scenarios for bioplastic food and drinking packages : a study of Swedish bioplastic waste disposal habitsand environmental impacts
University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular SciencesAbstract : The aim of this study was to investigate real end-of-life scenarios for some of the most common bioplastics, such as PLA and Bio-PET, for food and drinking packages in Sweden and to evaluate some of the potential environmental consequences of these scenarios. Life Cycle Analysis often evaluate intended end-of-life scenarios for bio-plastic products, but this study used an explorative research method, gathering infor-mation of the conduction and habits of bioplastics to evaluate if these scenarios were the ones occurring.

20. Construction and Characterization of 3rd Generation Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strains for PHB production form Xylose
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/BioteknikAbstract : Poly-3-D-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biopolymer naturally produced by a range of bacterial species. PHB production both from glucose and xylose has also been enabled by engineering the robust baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, however yields remain low. In the present study, additional modifications were carried out in S. READ MORE
