1. 1. 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

3. 2. Characterization of ulvan polysaccharide degrading enzymes from Wenyingzhuangia fucanilytica

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

   Author : Erik Apelqvist; [2022]
   Keywords : Enzyme; Enzymatic characterization; Recombinant protein producaiton; Protien purification; E. coli; W. fucanilytica; Transformation; Overexpression; Seaweed; Ulvan; Polysaccharides; biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to fully characterize the enzyme WFp-105, including bioinformatic analysis, structural modeling, full activity and stability characterization and product determination. As well as for the enzyme WFp-37; optimize protein production in regard to expression strains and cultivation temperature, analyzing the genomic context as well as performing an initial activity detection.

4. 3. Production and evaluation of enzymatically processed oat fibres as potential prebiotics

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master)

   Author : Elin Johansson; [2021]
   Keywords : Arabinoxylan; AXOS; L.brevis; B.adolescentis; Biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Insoluble oat bran fibres, with substantial arabinoxylan (AX) content, are obtained as a byproduct from industrial processing of oat. By further processing it is possible to solubilise and hydrolyse AX into (arabino)xylo-oligosaccharides ((A)XOS). READ MORE

5. 4. Användningen av pro- och prebiotika till häst

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

   Author : Malin Hägg; [2021]
   Keywords : mjölksyrabakterier; saccharomyces cerevisiae; frukto-oligosackarider; bakterier; foder; grovtarmsjäsare;

   Abstract : Hästen får största delen av sin energi genom mikrobernas fermentationen av fiber i grovtarmen. Miljön i grovtarmen är känslig och tillstånd som kolik, kolit och diarré hos häst har kunnat associeras till en obalans i grovtarmens bakterieflora. READ MORE

6. 5. Purification, activity assays and crystallization of GtCel45A - a small cellulase enzyme from the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum expressed in Aspergillus nidulans

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Strukturbiologi

   Author : Louise Fitkin; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cellulose is the most abundant polymer on earth. It is one of the main components in lignocellulosic biomass, which has great potential as a renewable energy source. To utilize the biomass, for instance in biofuel production, cellulose needs to be degraded. READ MORE
