  1. 16. Dynamic modelling of bathing water quality with biodegradation of Escherichia coli in TELEMAC-3D

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Louise Selméus; [2018]
    Keywords : Escherichia coli; Bathing water quality; TELEMAC-3D; Biodegradation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Bathing water is of great concern as almost all bodies of water in Sweden today are affected by human activities. Usage of models for bathing water quality may give the possibility to assess and evaluate short-term contamination. READ MORE

  3. 17. Biodegradation of organic micropollutants dibutyl phthalate and bisphenol A by fungi

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Lena Carstens; [2018]
    Keywords : micropollutant; dibutyl phthalate; bisphenol A; fungi; biodegradation; biosorption; endocrine disrupting chemical;

    Abstract : Fungi represent a promising and relatively untapped resource in regard to the bioremediation of micropollutants. Degradation efficiencies of the ubiquitous endocrine disrupting chemicals dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and bisphenol A (BPA) by selected fungal strains with different ecophysiologies were determined via ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC).

  5. 19. Characterization of microbial growth in lignin-based residues and biodegradation of vanillin: : Optimizing factors for maximizing the extraction of a biodegradation compound of vanillin and investigating the potential for lipid accumulation.

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Miljöteknik

    Author : Oscar Rosales; [2017]
    Keywords : Yeast; vanillin biodegradation; vanillyl alcohol; lignin-based substrates; microbial lipid accumulation; Thin-layer chromatography;

    Abstract : Vanillin (4-hydroxy-3methoxybenzaldehyde) is one of the most employed aromatic and flavoring additives in food and cosmetic industry. The industrial interest in vanillin could also apply to its biodegradation products. READ MORE

  6. 20. Growth and biodegradation by Sporidiobolales yeasts in vanillin-supplemented medium

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för arbets- och folkhälsovetenskap

    Author : Natalia González Gaarslev; [2017]
    Keywords : Sporobolomyces; Vanillin; Internal Transcribed Spacer ITS ; Thin layer chromatography TLC ; Neubauer’s chamber; Sporobolomyces; Vainillina; Espaciador Transcribible Interno ETI ; Cromatografia en capa fina CCF ; Cámara de Neubauer;

    Abstract : Studies of biodegradation in lignins by basidiomycetes yeasts show the conversion of lignin in various degradation products among which vanillin, a valuable substance, suggested to be a strong inhibitor of both fermentation and growth of yeasts, stands. Sporidiobolales yeasts used in these experiments were aimed to be identified by their highly conserved ITS region as well as studied in vanillinsupplemented medium through, vanillin-supplemented plates, TLC and Neubauer’s chamber to find out which, among the several isolates tested, were the most resistant ones, understand how they take up vanillin and how their growth is affected by the presence of the phenolic compound.
