  2. 1. Cyanobacterial Hydrogen Metabolism : Transcriptional Regulation of the Hydrogenases in Filamentous Strains

    Author : Rikard Axelsson; Peter Lindblad; Tomás Ruiz-Argüeso; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Cyanobacteria are a heterogeneous group of phototrophic microorganisms. Many cyanobacteria have the capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen. During the process of nitrogen fixation, molecular hydrogen is produced. Three enzymes are directly involved in hydrogen metabolism in cyanobacteria. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cyanobacterial Hydrogen Metabolism : Regulation and Maturation of Hydrogenases

    Author : Ellenor Devine; Peter Lindblad; Karin Stensjö; Laurent Cournac; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : In times with elevated CO2 levels and global warming there is a need of finding alternatives to carbon based energy carriers. One such environmental friendly solution could be H2 produced by living organisms. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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

  6. 4. Maturation and Regulation of Cyanobacterial Hydrogenases

    Author : Åsa Agervald; Peter Lindblad; Karin Stensjö; Ann Magnuson; Poul Erik Jensen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biohydrogen; Cyanobacteria; Nostoc sp. PCC 7120; Nostoc punctiforme PCC 73102; Hydrogenase; Maturation; Transcriptional regulation; CyAbrB; CalA; FeSOD;

    Abstract : Accelerated global warming plus an increasing need for energy is an equation not easily solved, thus new forms of sustainable energy production are urgently requested. In this context hydrogen production based on a cyanobacterial system offers an environmentally friendly alternative for energy capture and conversion. READ MORE

  7. 5. Engineering Transcriptional Systems for Cyanobacterial Biotechnology

    Author : Daniel Camsund; Peter Lindblad; Brian Pfleger; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cyanobacteria; Synthetic biology; promoters; transcription; LacI; Gal4; Light-regulation; Chemistry with specialization in Microbial Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot mikrobiell kemi;

    Abstract : Cyanobacteria are solar-powered cell factories that can be engineered to supply us with renewable fuels and chemicals. To do so robust and well-working biological parts and tools are necessary. READ MORE
