  1. 1. Biokinetic Characterization of Methane Oxidizing Microbiomes Co-metabolizing Trace Organic Chemicals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Hugo Möller; [2024]
    Keywords : Methanotrophs; organic micropollutants; co-metabolism; biodegradation; applied microbiology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater effluents is concerning, as they pose a threat to human and aquatic health. Biodegradation via methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is an attractive option, as the method is cheap and effective. MOB can co-metabolize a variety of substrates, there among organic micropollutants.

  3. 2. Influence of different carbon sources on methane fluxes in sediments of eelgrass beds and unvegetated areas: a case study on the Swedish west coast

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap; Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Hampus Holmberg; [2023-06-22]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : One of the best ways to mitigate climate change is through natural carbon sequestration. An efficient way to mitigate climate change is through carbon sequestration from coastal habitats. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effects of mixed surfactant system on chemical and physical stability of human growth hormone

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Karnsinee Viriyayudhakorn; [2023]
    Keywords : human growth hormone; surfactant; refolding; protein stability; physical degradation; chemical degradation; pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In protein formulation, addition of surfactants is commonly executed to enhance product stability and shelf-life. The reason is that surfactants can protect proteins against surface-induced aggregation. However, the interaction between surfactant and protein depends on the type of surfactant used. READ MORE

  5. 4. Tuning physical and chemical attributes of the synthetic implant poly(L-lactic acid) and its effects on biological stimulation

    University essay from

    Author : Gabriella Sverlinger; Felicia Norman; Nora Othman; Wilma Hämäläinen; Michaela Thyberg; Maja Jonsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Polylactic acid; degradation rate of PLLA; physio- chemical properties of PLA; injectable PLLA;

    Abstract : Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a polymer chain consisting of repeating units of lactic acid (LA) used in various biomedical applications because of its biocompatible features. It is commonly used as a subdermal filler and constitutes as the main ingredient in SculptraR, which is a collagen regenerating filler used to treat lipoatrophy of the cheeks or to rejuvenate the skin.

  6. 5. Långsiktig torvnedbrytning för olika vegetationstyper på dikad skogsmark

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Carl Carlsson; Sofie Jönsson; [2023]
    Keywords : växthusgaser; torvmark; dikning;

    Abstract : Skogsklädda torvmarker i Sverige dikades i stor utsträckning mellan 1930- och 1980-talen i syfte att höja virkesproduktionen. Till följd av klimatproblemet har intresset för dikade torvmarkers bidrag till växthusgasutsläppen ökat under de senaste decennierna. READ MORE
