1. 21. Analyses of microbial community in nutrient solution with biofertilizer and risk assessment of establishment of pathogens

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Julia Södergren; [2020]
   Keywords : Biofertilizer; hydroponic; 16S rRNa sequencing; challenge testing; calorimetry; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The societal interest for a more sustainable and circular food production is increasing. Hydroponic farming is an alternative way of growing vegetables that can bring farming into urban environments, reducing long transports of food. In parallel, the focus in waste treatment is being more directed toward resource recovery. READ MORE

3. 22. Development of a Near Infrared Spectroscopy Model for Prediction of Fibre Compounds in Alfalfa

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Christina Andersen; [2020]
   Keywords : alfalfa; lucerne; medicago sativa; green protein powder; NIR; near infrared spectroscopy; model development; matlab; PLS; partial least squares; PCA; principal component analysis; SNV; standard normal variate; fibre prediction; TDF; total dietary fibre; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Background: This project investigates if it is possible to develop a calibration model from near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic measurements, for determination of the amount and type of fibre fractions within protein powder produced from the legume alfalfa, without performing wet experiments. Alfalfa is also known as Medicago sativa and lucerne, but is in this project further referred to as alfalfa. READ MORE

4. 23. CUSTOMIZED QUANTIFICATION OF HOST CELL PROTEIN WITH BIO-LAYER INTERFEROMETRY

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Eva Sjöblom; [2020]
   Keywords : BLI; HCP; CHO; yeast; host cell protein; bio-layer interferometry; immunoassays; quantification; chinese hamster ovary; ELISA; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Host cell protein (HCP) is quantified in the purification steps of biopharmaceutical production and is part of ensuring the purity of the final drug product. The gold standard method for HCP quantification is enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), but a new approach is proposed here with fully customized bio-layer interferometry assays for yeast and chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells.

5. 24. Evaluating the behaviour of probiotic Bacillus coagulans XY1 in fruit juices and survival during heat treatment

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Viktoria Trulsson; [2020]
   Keywords : Fruit juice; Bacillus coagulans XY1; probiotic; storage stability; heat treatment; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Technology and Engineering; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

   Abstract : It has become more important for people worldwide to eat and drink products that offer us health- promoting benefits, which traditional foods do not possess. These kinds of products are called functional foods and have been fortified using vitamins, minerals or probiotics among others. READ MORE

6. 25. Evaluation of ELISA and qPCR assays for detection of Mycoplasma bovis in milk from ruminants

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Jenny Lönsjö; [2020]
   Keywords : applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) infections are difficult to diagnose and treat, causing severe economic losses to farms with infected cows. Eurofins Milk Testing Sweden AB screens cow’s milk using qPCR (quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction) to detect M. bovis infections. READ MORE
