  1. 1. The influence of differentially expressed Nicotina tabacum Rubisco small subunit on holoenzyme structure

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturbiologi

    Author : Frida Boström; [2022]
    Keywords : Strukturbiologi; Rubisco; Cryo-EM;

    Abstract : Characterization of Rubisco plays a crucial role when it comes to the development and understanding of carbon sequestration in plants. This project took place at BMC in Uppsala, in the Gunn lab, and aimed to structure three Rubisco structures and analyze these with regard to the assembly pathway of the biogenesis of Rubisco but also how fast the reaction of binding of atmospheric carbon dioxide takes place with regard to different isoforms of the small subunit.

  3. 2. The kinetic characterization of mutated cyanobacterial dual-functioning fructose/sedoheptulose bisphosphate using a malachite green colorimetric assay

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Albert Jousif Anis; [2021]
    Keywords : Cyanobacteria; carbon fixation; metabolic engineering; protein engineering; colorimetric enzyme assay; rational design; enzyme kinetics; applied microbiology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : 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

  4. 3. Isolation of the native chloroplast proteome from plant for identification of protein-metabolite interactions

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Linnéa Strandberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Chloroplast; metabolism; proteomics; Calvin cycle; Arabidopsis; Kloroplast; metabolism; proteomik; Calvincykel; Arabidopsis;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 4. Photosynthesis response to temperatures – A study of fertilized and unfertilized Picea abies : Fotosyntes i respons till temperatur – En studie av gödslad och ogödslad Picea abies

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för skog och träteknik (SOT)

    Author : Anna Schyman; [2018]
    Keywords : photosynthesis; CO2; nitrogen; Picea abies; Rubisco;

    Abstract : The effect climate change has on forest trees is a large scaled topic. It is to believe that one of the largest threat to the environment today is global warming (IPPC, 2007). The use of fossil fuels seems to be the big threat with its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and therefore forest is of interest. Forest contributes in several ways. READ MORE

  6. 5. Bacteria in biofuel production

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Microbiology

    Author : Afsar Ali; [2012]
    Keywords : Rubisco; Cyanobacteria; RBC operon; pDF-Trc plasmid; infusion cloning; Carbon fixation; Lactobacillus vini; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Dekkera bruxellensis; ethanol production; Tranformation; coculture; ethanol tolerance;

    Abstract : In this work, bacteria are regarded either as production organisms or as interacting organisms with another production organism, namely yeast. The aim of using bacteria as a production organism was, to optimize Rubisco activity by introducing additional gene cassettes of Rubisco in Cyanobacteria. READ MORE
