  2. 1. Fungal cellulases: Study of hydrolytic properties of endoglucanases from Trichoderma reesei and Humicola insolens

    Author : Johan Karlsson; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Humicola insolens; Trichoderma reesei; endoglucanases; cellulose hydrolysis; carboxymethyl cellulose; synergy; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Metabolism; Chemical technology and engineering; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi;

    Abstract : Cellulose is one of the most abundant biopolymers on earth. Several organisms degrade cellulose, one of the most studied is the fungus Trichoderma reesei which produces seven genetically different cellulases. READ MORE

  4. 2. Enzyme Hydrolysis of Cellulose Derivatives. Active Site Studies and Polymer Characterisation

    Author : Herje Schagerlöf; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Kemi; Chemistry; Humicola insolens; Trichoderma reesei; Bacillus agaradhaerens; Mass spectrometry; Substituent distribution; Characterisation; Endoglucanases; Cellulose derivatives;

    Abstract : Soluble derivatives of cellulose have become increasingly important in industrial products e.g. in pharmaceutical applications and in technical dispersions. The polymer characteristics of modified celluloses are to a high degree determined by the substituent distribution along the polymeric backbone. READ MORE

  5. 3. Plant and microbial xyloglucanases: Function, Structure and Phylogeny

    Author : Jens Eklöf; Harry Brumer; Harry Gilbert; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; xyloglucan; xyloglucanases; XTH; XET; XEH; endoglucanases; EG16; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis, enzymes acting on the primary cell wall hemicellulose xyloglucan are studied.  Xyloglucans are ubiquitous in land plants which make them an important polysaccharide to utilise for microbes and a potentially interesting raw material for various industries. READ MORE

  6. 4. Biochemical modification of wood components

    Author : Peter Josefsson; Lars Wågberg; Mark Rutland; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Abstract : The degradation of cellulose found in wood is one of the most important degradation processes for the carbon flux on earth. The degradation is performed by microorganisms that typically use enzymes. READ MORE

  7. 5. New Mass Spectrometric Methods for Structure Analysis of Carboxymethyl Cellulose

    Author : Jonas Enebro; Sigbritt Karlsson; Dane Momcilovic; Ulf Germgård; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; carboxymethyl cellulose; substituent distribution; rheology; enzyme hydrolysis; cellulase; permethylation; liquid chromatography; MALDI; ESI; mass spectrometry; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a cellulose derivative, made from cellulose by introduction of carboxymethyl groups along the molecules. The properties of CMC are affected by several parameters where the molar mass and molar mass distribution, degree of substitution (DS) and the distribution pattern along, and between, the cellulose molecules are the most prominent.
