1. 6. Production of natural pigments from A. platensis grown on wastewater from local treatment facility.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

   Author : Hana Faulds; [2023]
   Keywords : Cyanobacteria; pigments; microalgae; wastewater treatment; biotechnology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Although microalgae have been considered for the biological treatment of wastewater since the 1950’s, their potential to efficiently remove pollutants from various streams remains largely untapped and is yet to be utilized at large scale. The production of algal biomass and extraction of high-value compounds has, however, become increasingly popular with large scale farms and biorefineries around the world producing many promising alternatives to petroleum-based products and processes.

3. 7. Mussel farming along the south-Swedish coasts - a possible solution to eutrophication?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : David Trulsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Mussel farming; Aquaculture; Spatial suitability analysis; Eutrophication; Baltic Sea; Biology and Life Sciences; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The concept of mussel farming as a mitigator to nutrient pollution is steadily spreading. The southernmost part of Sweden borders the Baltic Sea where the water quality differs between the costs, however, all are affected by eutrophication. READ MORE

4. 8. SubKluster: Novel method to bin scaffolds from cereal genomes into subgenomes using substring frequency analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

   Author : Victor Kalbskopf; [2023]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : The genome of the Belinda variety of the hexaploid oat (Avena sativa) has recently been sequenced and assembled. This project aims to improve the assembly by clustering the thousands of scaffolds into their three ancestral subgenomes using Principle Component Analysis (PCA) of kmer and repeat-element frequencies.

5. 9. Recombinant expression and purification of sugar beet Phytoglobins in Escherichia Coli BL21 (DE3) including metabolic engineering of the heme biosynthesis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

   Author : Pennie Lindblom; Olivia Geel; [2023]
   Keywords : Phytoglobin; Heme; δ-ALA; qPCR; SDS-PAGE; Bacterial cultivation; Escherichia coli; BvPgb1.2; ÄKTA; Applied biochemistry; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : The protein hemoglobin (Hb) is vital for us humans to ensure enough oxygen replacement in the body. Hb-resembling proteins also exist in plants, these are called phytoglobins (Pgbs). Pgbs are very interesting since they can play a considerable role in the development of blood substitutes and iron supplements for human use. READ MORE

6. 10. Let Us Put Our Brains in the Spotlight – Literally!

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

   Author : Elsa Karjalainen; [2023]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Neurons are the working force in each vertebrate’s nervous system. These small cells have the important task of transferring information in the form of electrical charges called action potentials. Neurons make it possible for us to sense touch, process our environment, and store memory. READ MORE
