1. Ethanol from woodCellulase enzyme production
University dissertation from Department of Chemical Engineering, Lund UniversityAbstract : Conversion of biomass to liquid fuels, such as ethanol, has been investigated during the past decades. First due to the oil crisis of the 1970s and lately because of concerns about greenhouse effect, ethanol has been found to be a suitable substitute for gasoline in transportation. READ MORE

5. A study of ethylene production via the 2-oxoglutarate dependent pathway in S. cerevisiae
University dissertation from Stockholm : KTH Royal Institute of TechnologyAbstract : The detrimental effect of the petroleum industry on the environment combined with the threat of peak oil has driven the exploration for alternative strategies to produce traditional petrochemicals. Biotechnological production could be an alternative, using microorganisms to convert renewable feedstocks into desired products. READ MORE
