  1. 1. Measuring bacterial metabolism and antibioticsusceptibility : using silicon nanowire field-effect transistor.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fasta tillståndets elektronik

    Author : George Alhoush; [2024]
    Keywords : Silicon nanowire field effective transistor; SiNWFET; Ion-selective filed effect transistor; ISFET; Antibiotic susceptibility test; AST; Measuring bacterial metabolism using microchip;

    Abstract : Antimicrobial resistance is considered by many prominent researcher and scientist as a profound global health crisis that us humans must face in the next decade. It is threatening the effectiveness of these once-reliable weapons against bacterial infections and leaving us susceptible to pathogenic agents. READ MORE

  3. 2. Finding the physiological function of the enzyme GPCAT. : a gene expression study using Arabidopsis plants with silenced GPCAT gene

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Ida Hallström; [2022]
    Keywords : enzyme GPCAT; gene expression; glycerophosphocholine acyltransferase; GPCAT; PC recycling pathway; physiological function; sphingolipids;

    Abstract : The aim of this project was to study the enzyme Glycerophosphocholine Acyltransferase (GPCAT) and try to find its physiological function. The biochemical reaction that the enzyme GPCAT catalyses is known, but its physiological function, e.g. why and when plants need the enzyme GPCAT, is unknown. READ MORE

  4. 3. Designing an optmized met X/Y enzymes for an efficient methionine production in E.coli

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Luísa Rodrigues; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Methionine is a proteinogenic amino acid critical amino for the pharmaceutical, biotechnological and agricultural industries. The overall methionine biosynthetic pathway is as follows: 1. Acetylation of homoserine and its subsequent activation 2. Formation of homoserine through the replacement hydroxyl group by a thiol group, 3. READ MORE

  5. 4. Engineering Rhodosporidium toruloides for the production of polyhydroxybutyrate

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Tova Lindh; [2021]
    Keywords : Applied microbiology; Bioplastics; Rhodosporidium toruloides; Polyhydroxybutyrate; Non-conventional yeast; Oleaginous yeast; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : The increased use of plastics has become an environmental problem where plastics, due to the slow degradation, accumulate in the oceans and landfills. Although plastics are a very cheap and useful material with desirable properties and a wide variety of applications, they are primarily made from petroleum-based resources which are non-renewable and of fossil origin.

  6. 5. Identification of metabolite-protein interactions among enzymes of the Calvin Cycle in a CO2-fixing bacterium

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Emil Sporre; [2020]
    Keywords : Cupriavidus necator; chemolithoautotroph; limited proteolysis; Calvin Cycle; carbon fixation; proteomics; allosteric regulation; metabolite-protein interactions.;

    Abstract : The Calvin – Benson cycle is the most widespread metabolic pathway capable of fixing CO2 in nature and a target of very high interest to metabolic engineers worldwide. In this study, 12 metabolites (ATP, AMP, NADP, NADPH, 2PG, 3PGA, FBP, RuBP, PEP, AKG, Ac-CoA and phenylalanine) were tested for protein – metabolite interactions against the proteome of Cupriavidus necator (previously Ralstonia eutropha) in the hopes of finding potential examples of allosteric regulation of the Calvin – Benson cycle.
