  3. 12. Signal peptide exchange for higher expression of Bjerkandera adusta Loosenin 1 in P. pastoris

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Linus Brinkenstråhle; [2018]
    Keywords : Loosenin; cellulose; signal peptide; expansin; Pichia pastoris; recombinant expression;

    Abstract : The protein Loosenin 1 from the wood degrading fungus Bjerkandera adu-sta (BaLOOS1) has been shown to loosen up recalcitrant biomass and en-hance enzymatic saccharification. BaLOOS1 is the only loosenin protein that has been biochemically characterised so far. READ MORE

  6. 15. Skördeeffekter av biokolstillsats och kompletterande gödsling i två fältförsök

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Elin Laxmar; [2017]
    Keywords : terra preta; biokol; pyrolys; skörd; kväve;

    Abstract : Biokol är ett material med hög kolhalt som framställs genom en reaktion som kallas pyrolys. Pyrolys är en upphettning av biologiskt material under förhållandevis låga temperaturer och begränsad tillgång till syre. Biokolet som bildas innehåller en hög andel kol och har en stor specifik yta.
