  1. 26. Lipid content and profile of Rhodotorula toruloides during fermentation

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Khairul Kibria; [2021]
    Keywords : Rhodotorula toruloides; fatty acids; lipid class; triglycerides; phospholipid; gas chromatography;

    Abstract : Oleaginous yeast such as Rhodotorula toruloides is a promising organism for production of lipids from lignocellulosic substrates. Microbial lipids have potential applications in energy, food, feed and pharmaceutical industry, because most of the lipids are triglycerides with long chain fatty acids that are comparable to typical vegetable oils and can be obtained without arable land requirement.

  3. 27. Renewable Microgrid : Design and modelling of a potential microgrid by analyzing the renewable resource at island Östergarnsholm to supply the inhabitants of Herrvik with electricity and fresh drinking water

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

    Author : Noor E Hira Gilani; [2021]
    Keywords : Renewable microgrid; Östergarnsholm; Herrvik; Islanded microgrid;

    Abstract : This project is aimed at developing a model for an off-grid microgrid by studying the wind and solar resource at Östergarnsholm, an island to the east of Gotland, Sweden. For the required consumption, a study and analysis of Herrvik’s local demand has been made which is a village close to the island and the possibility for implementing the microgrid to supply electricity to the inhabitants of Herrvik has been examined.

  5. 29. Purification, activity assays and crystallization of GtCel45A - a small cellulase enzyme from the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum expressed in Aspergillus nidulans

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturbiologi

    Author : Louise Fitkin; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cellulose is the most abundant polymer on earth. It is one of the main components in lignocellulosic biomass, which has great potential as a renewable energy source. To utilize the biomass, for instance in biofuel production, cellulose needs to be degraded. READ MORE
