1. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

2. Development of osmo- and appetite regulation during transfer of smolt from freshwater to increasing salinities
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is common in Scandinavian aquaculture and must be transferred from freshwater to seawater to grow properly. Despite being assessed as ready smolts, meaning they have gone through the physiological changes to prepare for SW transfer, the transfer result in a mortality rate of around 13-19%, and significant appetite- and growth reductions.

3. Cloning and expressing the genes encoding Glycerol dehydratase (GDHt) and 1,3-Propanediol dehydrogenase (1,3-PDDH) in E. coli
University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)Abstract : The biodiesel sector has witnessed tremendous growth in recent years, leading to a significant increase in glycerol production as a by-product. Addressing the challenge of glycerol valorization is crucial for the sustainability of the biodiesel industry. READ MORE

4. Relations between intracellular pH and gamma-aminobutyric acid levels in tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves, after two types of anaerobic treatment
University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant BiologyAbstract : Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the three major non-alcoholic beverages in the world. In Gabaron tea, the levels of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are more than 1.3 mg/g. In the human body, GABA lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels. READ MORE

5. Biopolymers processed and used as enzyme carriers
University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologiAbstract : Syftet med detta masterprojekt var att undersöka möjligheten att använda biobaserat, mjukgjort natriumalginat (NaAlg) som enzymbärare. Alginaterna görs traditionellt bearbetbara genom att tillsätta olika mjukgörare, såsom polyoler (glycerol, sorbitol, etc.), i detta arbete användes glycerol. READ MORE
