  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. Validation of a dispenser machine and enzyme kinetics for alcohol dehydrogenase

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Emelie Andersson; [2018]
    Keywords : enzyme kinetics; dispenser machine; Gradis; alcohol dehydrogenase; biochemistry; biokemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : To optimize precision and accuracy of small dispensed volumes, a dispenser was built. A 96-well plate was loaded with four replicates of a linear pyranine dilution series to test the accuracy and precision of the dispenser machine. Three dilution series of pyranine (100-0 percent, 10-0 percent and 1-0 percent) were made. READ MORE

  4. 3. Metabolic channeling for biofuel production : Co-localization of Pdc and Adh

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Isabel Moreno de Palma; [2017]
    Keywords : Bioethanol; Metabolic channeling; Synthetic biology; fusion of proteins; RNA scaffold; DNA scaffold; protein scaffold;

    Abstract : Enhancing productivity in bioprocesses, especially for biofuel production, is crucial for achieving an environmentally and economically sustainable biotechnology industry.Metabolic channelling occurs in nature when the intermediate between two consecutive enzymes in a pathway is directed from the first enzyme to the second avoiding diffusion in the cytosol.
