  1. 16. Pollen identification using sequencing techniques

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Bimaljeet Kaur; [2022]
    Keywords : pollen; rbcL gene; barcoding; metabarcoding; Sanger sequencing; MinION sequencing;

    Abstract : Palynology or the study of pollen, is essential understand the relationship between plants and their pollinators. Traditionally, pollen grains are identified by microscopy. The method has several shortcomings, such as being time-consuming and having low taxonomic resolution. READ MORE

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Robherta Ferreira de Vilcinskas; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Honey is a natural product composed of numeral substances and microorganisms. Although honey presents physicochemical properties that confer antimicrobial characteristics, certain microorganisms are still able to survive and multiply in honey. READ MORE

    Keywords : Affibody AB; Pichia pastoris; pAOX1; pAOX2; pFLD1; pGAP; cultivation; fermentation; glycosylation;

    Abstract : Producing pharmaceuticals in Escherichia coli inevitably comes with an extensive purification process. This is because many of the native proteins of E. coli are immunogenic to humans, especially the heat and pH resistant endotoxins located in the membrane of E. coli. READ MORE

  5. 19. Social Behavior in a Zebrafish Model of Schizophrenia

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

    Author : Dagmar Halldorsdottir; [2022]
    Keywords : Zebrafish; Schizophrenia; RNA binding motif protein 12 gene RBM12 ; Personal space; Average inter-fish distance; Anxiety-like behavior; Wall-hugging; Speed; Bottom-dwelling;

    Abstract : Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder with unsatisfactory treatment options and poorly under- stood etiology. Genetic models are a suitable tool for studying this disorder with its high heritability. However, currently available animal models do not cover the broad range of schizophrenia symptoms and are not disorder-specific. READ MORE

  6. 20. Production of 5-ketogluconic acid using recombinant strains of Gluconobacter oxydans

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

    Author : Aakash Reddy Murugadasan; [2022]
    Keywords : Gluconobacter oxydans; Escherichia coli; 5-Keto-D-gluconic acid; Alcohol dehydrogenase; Biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : 5-Keto-D-gluconic acid (5-KGA) is a valuable compound that has a wide range of applications in the chemical and food industries and is commonly used as a precursor for manufacturing tartaric acid (TA). Industrial production of 5-KGA through chemical approaches was practiced in the early 1920’s and was dropped immediately due to several drawbacks because of its complicated process that resulted in lower 5-KGA yield and higher accumulation of impure gluconic acid.
