  2. 1. Used but not Sensed - The Paradox of D-xylose Metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Author : Karen Ofuji Osiro; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; saccharomyces cerevisiae; sugar sensing signalling; D-Xylose; XR XDH; GFP biosensor; cAMP PKA; Snf3p Rgt2p; SNF1 Mig1p; flow cytometry;

    Abstract : The realization that the extraction and combustion of fossil fuels is having serious effects on the environment and the climate, together with the ever-growing need for fuels, has led to the development of the concept of the biorefinery. Biorefineries are refineries in which fossil resources, such as oil, are replaced by renewable biomaterials to produce biofuels and biochemicals. READ MORE

  4. 2. Understanding and improving microbial cell factories through Large Scale Data-approaches

    Author : Daniel Brink; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microbiology; lignocellulose; lignin; D-xylose; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Pseudomonas putida; bioinformatics; genome assembly; flow cytometry; metabolic engineering; sugar sensing signalling;

    Abstract : Since the advent of high-throughput genome sequencing methods in the mid-2000s, molecular biology has rapidly transitioned towards data-intensive science. Recent technological developments have increased the accessibility of omics experiments by decreasing the cost, while the concurrent design of new algorithms have improved the computational work-flow needed to analyse the large datasets generated.

  5. 3. The role of sugar sensing and pathway selection on D-xylose utilization by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Author : Celina Tufvegren; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Biorefineries have the potential to partially or entirely replace petrochemistry for the production of our daily bulk and fine chemicals. However, this replacement can only be sustainable and cost-effective if the raw material used is cheap, renewable and does not compete with the food and feed industry. READ MORE

  6. 4. Gastrointestinal involvement in familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy : a clinical study

    Author : Lars Steen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amyloidosis; electromyogram; malabsorption syndrome; gastric acid; gastroscopy; radioisotopes; radiography; intestinal mucosa;

    Abstract : Familial Amyloidosis with Polyneuropathy was first recognized in Portugal and reported by Andrade in 1952. The disease is rare, but clustering of the patients has been reported from Portugal, Japan and northern Sweden. The gastrointestinal involvement in the Swedish form of the disease was studied in this investigation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Three-dimensional structure of oligosaccharides from molecular dynamics simulations

    Author : Christer Höög; Lennart Nilsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organic Chemistry; organisk kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the conformation and flexibility of oligosaccharides around the glycosidic linkage. The methods employed for the elucidation of the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules are briefly described. The main techniques used here are computer simulations and molecular dynamics simulations in aqueous solution in particular. READ MORE
