  1. 1. Buffer modification: A case study with polystyrene beads, DU145-, and MCF7 cell lines

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Olivia Hansson Rengbrandt; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Separation of cancer cells gives advantages in understanding the disease, guiding treatment decisions, and facilitating drug development. Overall, separation plays an important role in biological research. Acoustophoresis is a technique that utilizes acoustic waves to separate particles and cells suspended in a buffer medium.

  4. 3. Phaeodactylum tricornutum – Compositional Analysis, Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes and Potential Applications of Residual Algal Biomass from Omega 3 Production

    University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

    Author : Isabella Norell; [2020]
    Keywords : Microalgae; diatoms; Phaeodactylum tricornutum; algal biomass; compositional analysis; polysaccharides;

    Abstract : Microalgae are gaining more attention for several reasons such as being potential producers of sustainable fuel, for use as health supplements and in skincare. Simris Alg is a Swedish company that produces Omega 3 supplements from a primary producer of these fatty acids - the algal diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, which is a sustainable alternative to Omega 3 derived from fish.

  5. 4. Growth of filamentous fungi in pure olive oil : a fundamental study for application to vegetable oil-derived waste streams

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Tahir Muhammad Nazir; [2020]
    Keywords : filamentous fungi; oleaginous fungi; Aspergillus oryzae; Neurospora intermedia; olive oil; fat; fungal biomass;

    Abstract : Vegetable oil is more difficult to degrade by microorganisms in comparison to carbohydrates and protein. Thus, it creates serious environmental and health concerns if oil-derived waste streams produced by restaurants and industries remain untreated. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluation of GM trees expressing a fungal enzyme : investigating the effects of the fungal enzyme on activation of jasmonate signaling using JAZ10:GUS reporter lines of Arabidopsis

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology

    Author : Elin Bäckström; Therese Thalin; [2019]
    Keywords : cell wall formation; cell wall composition; genetic modification; genetic improvement; ; GUS;

    Abstract : The fungi enzyme glucuronoyl esterase can be used to change the cell wall composition in plants for easier extraction of cellulosic biomass compounds for the production of biomaterials and biofuels. However, previous studies have shown that expression of glucuronoyl esterase in plants causes stress response, mediated by jasmonate signaling, and growth penalty. READ MORE
