1. 16. 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

3. 17. Impact of light quality on leafy green vegetables

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

   Author : Muhammad Abdul Aziz; [2021]
   Keywords : blue light; controlled light; E. coli; spinach;

   Abstract : Fruits and vegetables are a vital part of the human diet, and their consumption is on the rise because they are considered as a healthy intake. However, ingredients of fruits and vegetables are vulnerable in postharvest handling like moisture loss, wrong handling, physical damage, and microbial contamination. READ MORE

4. 18. Engineering Rhodosporidium toruloides for the production of polyhydroxybutyrate

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Tova Lindh; [2021]
   Keywords : Applied microbiology; Bioplastics; Rhodosporidium toruloides; Polyhydroxybutyrate; Non-conventional yeast; Oleaginous yeast; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : The increased use of plastics has become an environmental problem where plastics, due to the slow degradation, accumulate in the oceans and landfills. Although plastics are a very cheap and useful material with desirable properties and a wide variety of applications, they are primarily made from petroleum-based resources which are non-renewable and of fossil origin.

5. 19. Exploring Flow Cytometry for Monitoring of Microbial Water Quality During Maintenance of Drinking Water Pipes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Måns Zamore; [2021]
   Keywords : flow cytometry; microbiology; drinking water; applied microbiology; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Faster methods of analysing microbial drinking water quality after pipe breaks or new pipe installations would have beneficial implications. This thesis investigates the use of flow cytometry and cultivation-based techniques in connection to maintenance works, and how flow cytometry can aid in the decision-making around putting drinking water pipes in operation.
