  1. 1. Production of 5-ketogluconic acid using recombinant strains of Gluconobacter oxydans

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

    Author : Aakash Reddy Murugadasan; [2022]
    Keywords : Gluconobacter oxydans; Escherichia coli; 5-Keto-D-gluconic acid; Alcohol dehydrogenase; Biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : 5-Keto-D-gluconic acid (5-KGA) is a valuable compound that has a wide range of applications in the chemical and food industries and is commonly used as a precursor for manufacturing tartaric acid (TA). Industrial production of 5-KGA through chemical approaches was practiced in the early 1920’s and was dropped immediately due to several drawbacks because of its complicated process that resulted in lower 5-KGA yield and higher accumulation of impure gluconic acid.

  3. 2. The importance of the two- and three component systems WalRK and VraTSR for antibiotic resistance and phage susceptibility in Staphylococcus aureus

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Jack Abrahamsson; [2022]
    Keywords : MRSA; Vancomycin; VISA; phage; bacteriophage; Staphylococcus aureus; antibiotic resistance; chemical engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Staphylococcus aureus is a human commensal bacterium, living primarily on the skin and in the nose. It is also a pathogen able to cause a wide range of diseases, including food poisoning, infection of wounds but also more serious infections such as bacteremia and endocarditis. READ MORE

  4. 3. Surface crevasses on Svalbard: Spatial Distribution Analysis with Focus on the Lomonosovfonna Ice Cap

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Monika Hawrylak; [2021]
    Keywords : crevasses; spatial distribution; model; glacier velocity; Lomonosovfonna; Svalbard;

    Abstract : Understanding the formation mechanics of glacial crevasses is crucial in a variety of glacial applications. Besides being a serious safety hazard during field campaigns, crevasses influence calving rates, mass balance, and the hydrological network of glaciers. READ MORE

  5. 4. Characterization and optimization of Rhodosporidium toruloides for production of lipids

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Niharika Singh; [2021]
    Keywords : chemical engineering; oily yeasts; lipids; nitrogen limitation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Oleaginous microorganisms provide an opportunity to produce oils without the use of arable land for cultivation of oil-containing plants. Oleaginous microorganisms are also capable of storing products of pharmaceutical interest alongside storing polymers, which could open new opportunities in the bioplastic industry. READ MORE
