1. 1. Development of genetic tools for hydrogen production in cyanobacteria

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Inés Varela; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Today, due to the realization of problems such as climate change and limited resources, a lot of focus is being dedicated to find more sustainable and environmentally friendly ways of producing fuels. Cyanobacteria has the ability of meeting these challenges. However, production in cyanobacteria can still not compete with other fuels. READ MORE

   Abstract : The filamentous cyanobacteria Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133 is a model species fordevelopment of sustainable production methods of numerous compounds. One of its uniquefeatures is the anaerobic environment of the strains nitrogen fixing heterocyst cells. READ MORE

4. 3. Engineered light controlled cell development for enhanced hydrogen production in Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mikrobiell kemi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Marcel Llavero Pasquina; [2016]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to enhance heterocyst-based hydrogen production inNostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133. We envision to do so by finely regulatingthe ratio of heterocyst in order to optimize the filament energy balance. Wehereby report the development of an optogenetic synthetic switch basedon the native PcpeC promoter. READ MORE
