  2. 1. Rhodothermus marinus: a cell factory : Exploring products and cultivation technology

    Author : Emanuel Ron; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rhodothermus marinus; Extremophiles; Carotenoids; Exopolysaccharides;

    Abstract : The unsustainable human impact on ecology and ensuing climate change necessitates the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The largest contributing industrial sector is the chemical industry, due to its petrochemical dependency. READ MORE

  4. 2. When bioelectrochemical systems meet extremophiles, possibilities and challenges

    Author : Gaofeng Ni; Mark Dopson; Bert Hamelers; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; acidophiles; psychrophiles; haloalkaliphiles; bioelectrochemical systems; microbial sulfur metabolism; 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing; metagenomics; metatranscriptomics; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Extremophiles are microorganisms live and thrive in extreme environments that are harsh and hostile to most forms of life on earth (e.g. low pH, low temperature, high pH and high salinity). They have developed strategies to obtain nutrients and conserve energy to sustain life under these adverse conditions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Glycoside hydrolases from extremophiles isolated in Iceland. alpha-L-Rhamnosidases and pectin degrading enzymes

    Abstract : Extreme environments (high and low temperature, high and low pH, etc.) are inhabited by a vast and diverse flora of microorganisms, which are adapted to these environments (extremophiles). READ MORE

  6. 4. Bench-Scale Production of Heterologous Proteins from Extremophiles- Escherichia coli and Pichia pastoris based expression systems

    Author : Santosh Ramchuran; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Glycoside hydrolase; Heterologous protein; High cell density cultivation Expression systems; Bioteknik; Biotechnology; Fed-batch;

    Abstract : Over the past few years considerable research attention has been assigned to extremophiles as sources of extremozymes due to their applicability in industrial processes, and the development of eco-friendly technologies. The establishment of efficient production strategies for heterologous proteins is an empirical process requiring broad background knowledge on available expression systems together with their major advantages and shortcomings.
