  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. Physiology of Caulobacter crescentus grown on different carbon sources

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Sara Lind Jónsdóttir Glaser; [2016]
    Keywords : aerobic cultivation; physical characterization; lignocellulosic biomass; xylose degradation; Weimberg; bioreactors; enzyme assays; chemical engineering; kemiteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Freshwater, obligate aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium Caulobacter crescentus strain CB2 is able to metabolise various types of carbon sources. In this degree project, growth characterization of C.crescentus was made on different substrates including glucose, xylose, and mannose using shake-flask cultivations and bioreactor experiments.

  4. 3. Combined production of bioethanol and biogas from wheat straw

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Victor Gustafson; [2015]
    Keywords : lactic acid; chemical engineering; biogas; enzymes; enzymatic hydrolysis; energy recovery; ethanol red; bioethanol; wheat straw; steam pretreatment; inhibitors; kemiteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Currently the production cost of lignocellulosic ethanol is considered to be relatively high. Large fractions of the production cost come from the raw material and the energy consumed in the distillation. Therefore it is desirable to have a process that yields high concentration of ethanol and maximizes the utilization of the biomass. READ MORE

  5. 4. Production of recombinant keratinase for poultry feather degradation

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Institutionen Ingenjörshögskolan

    Author : Saeid Alinezhad; Amir Mirabdollah; [2009]
    Keywords : recombinant keratinase; bacillus megaterium; feathers degradation; expression vector;

    Abstract : The keratinase gene (kerA) of Bacillus licheniformis ATCC®53757 was PCR amplified and subsequently cloned into Bacillus megaterium expression vector; pHIS1525.SPlipA and transformed in Bacillus megaterium ATCC®14945. The kerA gene carrying the recombinant plasmid pKERHIS1525. READ MORE
