  1. 1. Spray Induced Gene Silencing in Phytophthora infestans : investigating exogenous dsRNA application for the control of potato late blight

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Poorva Sundararajan; [2024]
    Keywords : Phytophthora infestans; RNAi; potato late blight; gene silencing; SIGS;

    Abstract : Phytophthora infestans is an oomycete pathogen and the causal agent of late blight disease in potato and tomato. Even today, it causes massive loss to crop and economy worldwide. Current disease control strategies include breeding for resistance and extensive fungicide spray. READ MORE

  3. 2. The production of recombinant 6LZE_A and NS2B-NS3 in E. coli

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Raluca Svensson; [2024]
    Keywords : coronavirus; dengue; protease; pandemic; SARS-Cov-2; DENV; viral replication; proteins; Escherichia coli; DL-BAPNA; computational modeling; recombinant protein production; biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Even though the first coronavirus pandemic was registered in 1965, SARS-CoV-2 was better acknowledged when it caused the worldwide pandemic in 2019 in which millions of individuals lost their lives. Due to its facile way of spreading from one individual to another, the number of infected cases has gone up to more than 750 million to this day. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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 Environment

    Author : Bella Strid; [2024]
    Keywords : nitrogen; tannins; condensed tannins; MnP; manganese peroxidase; peptidase; saprotrophic basidiomycetes;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. Feasibility Study of Energy Harvesting via Biofuel Cell for Miniaturised Implantable Biosensors

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Rebecca Bonato; [2024]
    Keywords : Biofuel cell; Blood; Energy Harvesting; Glucose; Power Density; Oxygen;

    Abstract : In the current pursuit of sustainable energy, biofuel cells are attracting considerable attention. Within biomedical engineering, the concept of harnessing energy from biological fluids, such as blood, holds significant promise, enabling both full autonomy and miniaturization. READ MORE
