  1. 21. Production of succinic acid by Actinobacillus succinogenes in attached-growth bioreactors and dynamic modelling of biofilm formation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Henrik Östberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Actinobacillus succinogenes; Succinic acid; Biofilm; Attached-growth bioreactor; Dynamic modelling; Cell cultivation; Applied microbiology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Actinobacillus succinogenes is a microorganism is a very efficient producer of succinic acid, a chemical with a wide range of industrial applications. The bacterium is prone to form biofilm, a flocculation of cells attached to a surface. READ MORE

  3. 22. The Potential Use of Degradable Starch Microspheres as a Carrier for Nasal Drug Administration

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Rojda Unal; [2023]
    Keywords : Pharmaceutical technology; Nasal administration; Läkemedel; Pulverformiga bärare; Sfärer; Pulverinhalation; Bärarmaterial; Läkemedelseffektivitet; Pulverteknik; Partikelformulering; Nasal deposition; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Intranasal drug delivery is a practical and accessible method for treating localized symptoms as well as achieving systemic drug absorption. The approach takes advantage of the permeability, vascularization, and limited enzymatic activity of nasal tissue, leading to enhanced drug absorption. READ MORE

  4. 23. The Examination of Alternative Methods for Sperm Cell Lysis and Purification of Sexual Assault Samples

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Emilie Boson; [2023]
    Keywords : Differential lysis; Differential extraction; Sexual assault samples; Sperm cells; Forensic; DNA recovery; DNA profiling; DNA purification; Applied microbiology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Forensic sexual assault samples typically contain a mixture of a small quantity of sperm cells and a high quantity of epithelial cells. This relationship complicates the generation of a DNA profile, which prompts the need for differential lysis and extraction of the DNA. READ MORE

  5. 24. Biocatalysis in Pickering emulsions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Christine Vera Isabel Schmidt; [2023]
    Keywords : Enzymes; Pickering emulsion; Amine Transaminases; Green Chemistry; Stereoselectivity; Biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Employing enzymes as catalysts in the production of chiral amines that are both used as building blocks and active pharmaceutical ingredients might be promising due to milder reaction conditions compared to non-biological catalysts, exclusion of heavy metals, high selectivity towards substrates and precision in chirality of the products. Transaminases are attractive for the use in this process. READ MORE

  6. 25. Evaluating targeted combination therapies in EGFR wild-type non-small-cell lung cancer using mass spectrometry-based proteomics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för immunteknologi

    Author : Johan Thorsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Survival for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients has been significantly improved by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with EGFR mutations. However, certain subpopulations of NSCLC patients with EGFR wild-type (wt) status have been shown to also respond to EGFR-TKIs. READ MORE
