1. 1. Energy & redox fluxes in Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 on different sugars

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

   Author : Katarzyna Bengtsson; [2019]
   Keywords : Energy; redox fluxes; Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938; different sugars; applied microbiology; teknisk mikrobiologi; Biology and Life Sciences; Chemistry; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Under anaerobic condition the specific growth rate of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 on different sugars, was analyzed using spectrophotometry. Electron acceptor (fructose) supported cells to cope with poor energy recovery by re-oxidising the NADH, thus enabling ATP formation thru acetate production, while fermenting glucose via the phosphoketolase pathway (PKP) and simultaneously operating via Embden-Meyerhof pathway (EMP).

3. 2. Mineralization rates of organic matter in freshwater sediments when different electron acceptors dominate.

   University essay from Institutionen för tematisk utbildning och forskning

   Author : Catrin Samuelsson; [2004]
   Keywords : Interdisciplinary studies; Mineralization rate; Organic matter; Electron acceptor; Microbial metabolism; Methane; Carbon dioxide; Stångån; TVÄRVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Microbial decomposition of organic matter in aquatic environments plays an important role in natural fluxes of methane and carbon dioxide because the gases are end-products in microbial energy metabolism of organic matter. Microbial metabolism depends on the use of electron donors and electron acceptors in redox reactions that generate energy for growth and maintenance. READ MORE
