1. 1. Microbial production of chemical building blocks from lignin

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Kevin Bertilsson; [2024]
   Keywords : Lignin; Green plastic; Vanillin; Microbial production; Applied microbiology; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Plastics, derived from fossil fuels, have raised considerable environmental concerns. This has prompted the search for sustainable and safer plastic precursors alternatives. One alternative explored in the present study is vanillin, a phenolic compound derived from lignin, an abundant and renewable natural polymer. READ MORE

3. 2. 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.

4. 3. Creating, delivering, and capturing value through sustainability : an exploratory study on the early development of commercial aquaponics in Sweden

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Author : Fardosa Farah; Rita Ndum; [2022]
   Keywords : aquaponics; business model; business model innovation; sustainability; sustainable innovation; sustainable business model innovation; aquaculture; recirculating aquaculture system;

   Abstract : Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing food sectors in the world, and the increasing world population is said to only increase the need for more seafood. However, the sustainability of the aquaculture has been questioned recently and measures have been taken to overcome and internalize the negative externalities. READ MORE

5. 4. 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.

6. 5. 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
