  1. 1. Binuclear zinc transcription factors and the regulation of patulin biosynthesis in the filamentous Ascomycete Penicillium expansum

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

    Author : Robert Hansen Jagrelius; [2021]
    Keywords : secondary fungal metabolism; penicillium expansum; patulin; binuclear zinc transcription factors; dimerization; deepcoil; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis investigated the regulation of patulin production in Penicillium expansum in relation to fungal global regulators as well as the cluster-specific binuclear zinc transcription factor (BZTF) patL in silico. It also explored the state of BZTF research in filamentous ascomycetes fungi, and questioned if results in Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be freely translated to other taxonomic groups. READ MORE

  3. 2. Textile Actuator Fibres : Investigation in materials and methods for coiled polymer fibre muscles

    University essay from Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Rebecca Melvinsson; [2015]
    Keywords : Textile actuators; Soft robots; Coiled muscles; PVDF; SMP; Fibre Anisotropy; Thermal actuation; α-relaxation;

    Abstract : This thesis contains an investigation in materials and methods for coiled polymer muscles where the end application in mind is to be integrated in a textile structure such as an exo-skeleton glove. Previous artificial muscle fibres have proved little success due to performance, cost and scalability. READ MORE
