1. Metabolically engineer the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 to produce 1,2-propanediol
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Climate change and its effects on our society is a steadily growing problem. In 2010, the industry sector accounted for more than 30% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. The chemical industry is one of the industrial subsectors responsible for the highest emissions of greenhouse gas. READ MORE

2. The kinetic characterization of mutated cyanobacterial dual-functioning fructose/sedoheptulose bisphosphate using a malachite green colorimetric assay
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologiAbstract : The increased human dependence on fossil-based fuels, industrial chemicals, and structural materials has caused a drastic increase in atmospheric CO2 levels during the past 50 years. Consequences of this have been observed in the disruption of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. READ MORE

3. Isolation of the native chloroplast proteome from plant for identification of protein-metabolite interactions
University essay from KTH/ProteinvetenskapAbstract : För att kunna livnära en växande population behöver avkastningen på skördar öka. En lösning på dettaär att optimera plantornas fotosyntes, vilket innefattar förbättrad koldioxidfixering. För att lyckas meddet krävs kunskap i hur reglering av nyckelproteiner i kloroplasten går till. READ MORE

4. Gene overexpression screens to identify limitations on the productivity of cyanobacteria growth
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)Abstract : Cyanobacteria are a model organism for photosynthesis and the Calvin cycle, and a promising chassis for 4th generation biofuel production. There are many ongoing efforts to improve the performance of cyanobacteria, in terms of CO2 fixation and production rate of biofuels. READ MORE

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)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.
