1. 1. Evaluating Sugar Signaling during Xylose Oxidation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Viktor Persson; [2020]
   Keywords : Saccharomyces cerevisiae; yeast; xylose oxidation; sugar signaling; biosensor; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The sugar signaling state of cells oxidizing xylose was investigated through the chromosomal integration of the Weimberg pathway into previously established biosensor strains capable of monitoring the Snf3p/Rgt2p, SNF1/Mig1p, and cAMP/PKA pathways through the expression of HXT1, SUC2, and TPS1, respectively. Ultimately, two new strains were successfully developed containing both the Weimberg pathway and a biosensor for either HXT1 (TMB CB 112) or TPS1 (TMB CB 117). READ MORE

3. 2. Using CRISPR/Cas9 to regulate enzyme expression levels in the Weimberg pathway for optimal xylose consumption in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Anna Heiling; [2020]
   Keywords : Yeast; Weimberg pathway; xylose consumption; Applied Microbiology; Teknisk mikrobiologi; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a commonly used industrial organism which cannot consume xylose naturally. This is a problem since xylose is a major component in renewable resources, for instance lignocellulose. The Weimberg pathway is a pathway that converts xylose into α-ketoglutarate. It has been successfully integrated into S. READ MORE

4. 3. Physiology of Caulobacter crescentus grown on different carbon sources

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Sara Lind Jónsdóttir Glaser; [2016]
   Keywords : aerobic cultivation; physical characterization; lignocellulosic biomass; xylose degradation; Weimberg; bioreactors; enzyme assays; chemical engineering; kemiteknik; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Freshwater, obligate aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium Caulobacter crescentus strain CB2 is able to metabolise various types of carbon sources. In this degree project, growth characterization of C.crescentus was made on different substrates including glucose, xylose, and mannose using shake-flask cultivations and bioreactor experiments.
