  1. 6. Evaluation of strategies for construction of protease libraries in yeast.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Sidharth Jaya Sankar; [2022]
    Keywords : Yeast; GFP-fusion technology; protease; applied microbiology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Proteases are a group of enzymes that are involved in breaking down larger proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids, and they are used in various applications. In this project, the potential of budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as host for the construction of protease libraries is evaluated. READ MORE

  3. 7. Genetically modified tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants for an increased production of wax esters

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Plant Biology

    Author : Linn Nilsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Wax esters; metabolic engineering; nicotiana tabacum; fatty acid reductase; phytyl ester synthase;

    Abstract : Wax esters (WE) are naturally occurring lipids consisting of a fatty acid bound to a fatty alcohol with an ester bond. As an alternative to petrochemicals, plant-derived WE:s are of considerable commercial interest as lubricants, but have in recent years also received great attention for their potential as a starting material for bio-fuel production.

  4. 8. Active Learning for Solving Expensive Optimization Problems

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Siwei Fu; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Many practical engineering and computer science problems can be translated into a global otimization problem where the task is to find the best (optimal) vector 𝒙𝒙∗ that gives the smallest possible function value 𝑓𝑓 = 𝑓𝑓(𝒙𝒙∗) for some function 𝑓𝑓() of interest. Often the function 𝑓𝑓() is expensive in the sense that it cannot be easily evaluated computationally or experimentally in terms of time and/or resources required. READ MORE

  5. 9. Assessment of promoter regulation in Pseudomonas putida using GFP and flow cytometry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Luka Cululejevic; [2022]
    Keywords : applied microbiology; Pseudomonas putida; promoter characterization; aromatic compounds; vanillin; guaiacol; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Lignin is found in all biomass and is an abundant natural source of aromatic compounds. It has the potential to serve as a renewable raw material for a variety of chemicals currently derived from fossil fuel sources such as muconic acid, an important platform chemical. Kraft lignin is a waste stream from the pulp and paper industry. READ MORE

  6. 10. Development of a novel quantitative PCR analysis method for HIV-1

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Anna-Malin Hallberg; [2021]
    Keywords : HIV; PCR; primers; probes; virus; detection; blood plasma; pathogen; biological pharmaceutical; protein-based pharmaceutical; genotype; subtype; RT qPCR; extraction; TaqMa; RNA virus; cross-dimer; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Biological pharmaceuticals are the answer to many severe diseases of today’s society. Some of these are protein-based drugs and can be produced from human blood plasma. In order to guarantee the safety of patients, absence of any pathogens needs to be ensured. READ MORE
