2. 1. Expression and synthetic activation of [FeFe]-hydrogenases in cyanobacteria

   Author : Adam Wegelius; Peter Lindblad; Karin Stensjö; Namita Khanna; Matthew Posewitz; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry with specialization in Microbial Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot mikrobiell kemi;

   Abstract : Photosynthetic microbes can be utilized for hydrogen production, generating a clean, carbon neutral energy carrier from abundant substrates. Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes with large potential for biotechnological energy applications and several strains are capable of hydrogen production. READ MORE

4. 2. Engineering Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 for microbial terpenoid production

   Author : João S. Rodrigues; Pia Lindberg; Patrik R. Jones; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Synechocystis; metabolic engineering; bisabolene; isoprene; cyanobacteria; Chemistry with specialization in Microbial Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot mikrobiell kemi;

   Abstract : As part of the efforts to develop a carbon-neutral economy, photosynthetic microorganisms such as cyanobacteria have been extensively studied as solar-powered cell factories for the production of organic compounds with industrial interest, using the atmospheric CO2 as carbon source.Among other metabolites, cyanobacteria produce terpenoids, a diverse group of natural products that play pivotal roles in the cell.

5. 3. Towards renewable chemicals production in cyanobacteria

   Author : Kateryna Kukil; Pia Lindberg; Yu Jianping; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Synechocystis PCC 6803; metabolic engineering; succinate; phenylpropanoids; laboratory evolution; Chemistry with specialization in Molecular Biomimetics; Kemi med inriktning mot molekylär biomimetik;

   Abstract : The intensive fossil fuel combustion by humanity resulted in the increase of atmospheric CO2 concentration creating the greenhouse effect, which in turn causes severe environmental problems. Thus, humanity should find solutions to decrease dependency on fossil hydrocarbons in order to lower CO2 emission into the atmosphere. READ MORE

6. 4. Adsorption of dissolved organic matter in aquatic ecosystems : Effects on composition and reactivity

   Author : Marloes M. Groeneveld; Lars Tranvik; Dolly Kothawala; Suzanne Tank; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : dissolved organic matter; DOM; carbon; aquatic; adsorption; mineral particles; Biology with specialization in Limnology; Biologi med inriktning mot limnologi;

   Abstract : Inland waters receive organic matter from terrestrial ecosystems and in situ production. In transit from land to the ocean, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) may be mineralised to inorganic forms (CO2 and CH4) by microbial degradation and photodegradation. READ MORE

7. 5. The Cyanobacterial Uptake Hydrogenase : Regulation, Maturation and Function

   Author : Marie Holmqvist; Peter Lindblad; Karin Stensjö; Kornél Kovács; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biohydrogen; CalA; Cyanobacteria; Hydrogenase; Maturation; Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133; Nostoc sp. PCC 7120; Transcriptional regulation; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Chemistry with specialization in Microbial Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot mikrobiell kemi;

   Abstract : With accellerating global warming and pollution problems a change of energy regime is necessary. Solar energy offers a clean and unlimited energy source of enormous potential. Due to it’s intermittenet nature solar energy must be stored - ideally in the chemical bond of a carrier molecule. READ MORE
