  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. Method development of flow cytometry analysis of yeast and lactic acid bacteria viability for alcohol fermentation

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

    Author : Megha Komahan; [2023]
    Keywords : Flow cytometry; yeast; lactic acid bacteria; fermentation; cell viability; applied microbiology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The usage of yeast in conventional brewing techniques involving alcoholic fermentation is an age-old process. Analyzing the viability and obtaining physiological information regarding the microbial diversity of the fermentation samples plays a pivotal role in obtaining real-time information as well as developing a more efficient process design.

    Keywords : Animal feed; filamentous fungi; bio-circular economic; mycoprotein; pretreatment;

    Abstract : Banana peels account for about 61 million tons of waste each year globally. The aim of this project was to investigate the possibility of using banana peels as a substrate to cultivate edible filamentous fungi. READ MORE

  5. 4. Aggregating predictions of a yeast semantic segmentation model : Reducing a pixel classifier into a binary image classifier

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Ali Muquri; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The introduction of machine learning in clinical microbiology is important for aiding clinical laboratories with highly repetitive tasks that are fatiguing, error-prone, and require long employee training time due to the complex nature of the task. A challenging task that belongs to the subareas that need assistance is yeast detection in fluorescence microscopy where various yeast morphologies exist. READ MORE

  6. 5. Cultivating oleaginous yeast on spent mushroom substrate and logging residues hydrolysate : an assessment of yeast growth on side product substrates from the food, agriculture, and forestry industry

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Robin Lukic; [2023]
