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. Amine Transaminases in Biocatalytic Amine Synthesis
University dissertation from Stockholm : Henrik LandAbstract : The use of enzymes, nature´s own catalysts, both isolated or as whole cells to perform chemical transformations is called biocatalysis. As a complement to classical chemical catalysis, biocatalysis can be an environmentally friendly and more economical option in the production and synthesis of chemicals. READ MORE
