  1. 6. Novel tools for high-throughput genetic engineering, selection, and screening for improved Biotin production in E. coli cell factories

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

    Author : Wibke Vellguth; [2023]
    Keywords : biotin; BioB; biotin synthase; oxidative stress; E. coli; biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Biotin is an essential co-factor in various metabolic processes and is crucial for the growth and maintenance of living organisms. The market need for biotin is multifaceted and driven by its importance in human health, beauty and cosmetics applications, pharmaceuticals, animal nutrition, and other industries. READ MORE

  3. 7. Development and Evaluation of an Enzyme-Based Sunscreen

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

    Author : Karolina Eriksson Torfgård; [2023]
    Keywords : Enzyme activity; UV-filter; Protease; Biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Ultraviolet radiation (UVR), specifically of UVA and UVB, has been associated with the development of both photoaging and photo-carcinogenesis, potentially leading to cancer. The use of sun protection in the form of UV filters is known to minimize these damages. READ MORE

  4. 8. Assessment Of Plastic Degrading Abilities Of Autotransporter Domains Containing Esterase On Synthetic Polyesters

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

    Author : Linus Hansen; [2023]
    Keywords : Biotechnology; Enzymes; Plastic degradation; Plastic waste management; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In today's world, plastic pollution has become a widespread problem with plastics in oceans, rivers and forests. The use of plastic has increased rapidly since it first was developed and that is because of its advantageous abilities. READ MORE

  5. 9. Toward prototyping metabolic pathways in cyanobacteria using cell extracts

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Amina Bensabra; [2022]
    Keywords : cyanobacteria; metabolic engineering; cell-free metabolic engineering; enzymes; sustainability; cyanobakterier; metabolisk genteknik; syntetisk biologi; enzymer; hållbar bioproduktion;

    Abstract : Cyanobakterier är intressanta mikroorganismer för produktion av biobränslen från solljus, vatten och atmosfärisk koldioxid och anses därför vara potentiella mikrobiella cellfabriker. Men på grund av långsam tillväxt och låg produktion är genteknologi processen intensiv och tidskrävande för cyanobakterier. READ MORE

  6. 10. Genetically modified tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants for an increased production of wax esters

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Linn Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Wax esters; metabolic engineering; nicotiana tabacum; fatty acid reductase; phytyl ester synthase;

    Abstract : Wax esters (WE) are naturally occurring lipids consisting of a fatty acid bound to a fatty alcohol with an ester bond. As an alternative to petrochemicals, plant-derived WE:s are of considerable commercial interest as lubricants, but have in recent years also received great attention for their potential as a starting material for bio-fuel production.
