1. 1. Characterization of a novel bacteriumoriginating from a biogas process

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Louise Welén; [2023]
   Keywords : biogas; ammonia-tolerance; mesophilic; characterization; bacterium;

   Abstract : An anaerobic bacterium, isolated from an enrichment culture originating from a biogas reactor operating at high ammonia conditions, was characterised via various tests. An analysis of the 16S rRNA gene confirmed that the closest relative was Desulfotomaculum halophilum with 92,5 % similarity. READ MORE

3. 2. Structural and Functional Characterisation of the Human Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

   Author : Simon Gripvall; [2023]
   Keywords : biochemistry; complex; MPC; proteoliposomes; pyruvate; transport; Chemistry;

   Abstract : The metabolism of pyruvate in the cell is abnormally regulated in several human diseases, such as type-II diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, in which the human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (HuMPC) sits at a pivotal point. It transports pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two proteins, MPC1 and MPC2, and is a potential drug target against these diseases. READ MORE

4. 3. Expression and purification of pyruvate transporting human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) protein complex for structural studies

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

   Author : Markus Wendler; [2022]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Pyruvate is one of the main molecules needed for the citric acid cycle, which produces energy in the form of ATP. The citric acid cycle reaction occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and for pyruvate to participate in the reaction, it needs to be transported from the cytosol across the mitochondrial membranes into the mitochondrial matrix.

5. 4. Optimizing Growth Conditions for Lactic Acid Bacteria

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

   Author : Lorenzo García Tejada; [2021]
   Keywords : Lactic Acid Bacteria; Optimization; Cell growth; Lactic acid production; Oxygen; Yeast extract; Wood hydrolysate; Poly-lactic acid; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : High production titers are paramount in lactic fermentation processes aimed towards poly lactic acid (PLA) manufacturing. Optimization of the fermentation stage is therefore essential for the viability of the process. READ MORE

6. 5. Neuroprotective effects of magnesium sulphate evaluated by fluoride resistant acid phosphatase, inorganic phosphate, lactate dehydrogenase and nitric oxide in rats with ischemia

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

   Author : Maria Dorelis Montero Jimenez; [2020]
   Keywords : Biomarker; Magnesium; Neuroprotection; Respiratory arrest.;

   Abstract : Brain ischemia events are among the first three mortalities causes in the world associated with high treatments costs and in most cases some degree of permanent functional disability, thus it is necessary with new low cost and effective treatments. In the present study the potential neuroprotective effect of magnesium sulphate was evaluated by quantification of ischemic biomarkers: fluoride resistant acid phosphatase (FRAP), inorganic phosphate (Pi), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and nitric oxide (NO) in rats with global ischemia.
