3. Production and evaluation of enzymatically processed oat fibres as potential prebiotics
University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)Abstract : Insoluble oat bran fibres, with substantial arabinoxylan (AX) content, are obtained as a byproduct from industrial processing of oat. By further processing it is possible to solubilise and hydrolyse AX into (arabino)xylo-oligosaccharides ((A)XOS). READ MORE

5. Purification, activity assays and crystallization of GtCel45A - a small cellulase enzyme from the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum expressed in Aspergillus nidulans
University essay from Uppsala universitet/StrukturbiologiAbstract : Cellulose is the most abundant polymer on earth. It is one of the main components in lignocellulosic biomass, which has great potential as a renewable energy source. To utilize the biomass, for instance in biofuel production, cellulose needs to be degraded. READ MORE
