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

   Author : Sweta Singh; [2024]
   Keywords : lactic acid bacteria; solid-state fermentation; Alaria esculenta; Saccharina latissima; seaweed fermentation; biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Fermentation has played a vital role in human history, offering solutions for food preservation, culinary diversity, and the creation of diverse and flavorful foods and beverages. Its importance continues today, both in traditional practices and in modern industrial applications. READ MORE

3. 2. 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

4. 3. Biokinetic Characterization of Methane Oxidizing Microbiomes Co-metabolizing Trace Organic Chemicals

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

   Author : Hugo Möller; [2024]
   Keywords : Methanotrophs; organic micropollutants; co-metabolism; biodegradation; applied microbiology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater effluents is concerning, as they pose a threat to human and aquatic health. Biodegradation via methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is an attractive option, as the method is cheap and effective. MOB can co-metabolize a variety of substrates, there among organic micropollutants.

5. 4. ASSESSING MICROBIAL COMMUNITY RESPONSES IN A CHEMICALLY STRESSED FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEM USING ENVIRONMENTAL DNA

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Nicolai Laufer; [2023-06-21]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Microbial communities represent the fundamental cornerstones of riverine ecosystems because they are involved in numerous processes which mediate ecosystem services. However, riverine ecosystems are currently massively altered by a variety of anthropogenic activities which includes changes in landuse and chemical pollution. READ MORE

6. 5. SOIL GROSS NITROGEN MINERALISATION AND FOREST GROWTH IN FOUR HEMIBOREAL FOREST STANDS IN SOUTHWEST SWEDEN

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Linnéa Eriksson; [2023-04-20]
   Keywords : soil C:N; forest production; 15N isotope dilution; gross N mineralisation; ammonium; soil carbon; soil nitrogen; root exudates; stoichiometric decomposition; boreal forests; priming; microbial C limitation;

   Abstract : Boreal and temperate forests together make up the largest terrestrial net C sink in the world. They take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it in plant biomass and soil as they grow, making them crucial in mitigating global climate change. READ MORE
