    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

    Abstract : People who don’t eat meat can suffer from iron deficiency due to the lower efficiency of absorption of non-heme iron compared to heme iron. The aim of this master thesis was to explore the possibilities of producing a plant-based alternative of heme-iron by evaluating the efficiency of expression of sugar beet hemoglobin in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris.
