2. 1. Microbial Fuel cells, applications and biofilm characterization

   Author : Adolf Krige; Paul Christakopoulos; Sebastià Puig; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MFC; Microbial fuel cell; Raman microscopy; BES; Geobacter sulfurreducens; Biokemisk processteknik; Biochemical Process Engineering;

   Abstract : Since the 1900’s it has been known that microorganisms are capable of generating electrical power through extracellular electron transfer by converting the energy found organic compounds (Potter, 1911). Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has garnered more attention recently, and have shown promise in several applications, including wastewater treatment (Yakar et al. READ MORE

4. 2. Development of biocatalytic processes for selective antioxidant production

5. 3. Sound, Light and Electricity : as applications and analysis techniques to study metabolic effect and biofilm characterization of Geobacter sulfurreducens

   Author : Adolf Krige; Paul Christakopoulos; Ulrika Rova; Ashley Franks; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MFC; Microbial fuel cell; Raman microscopy; BES; Geobacter sulfurreducens; Biokemisk processteknik; Biochemical Process Engineering;

   Abstract : ElectricityBio-electrochemical systems such as microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and microbial electrolysis cells have shown promise in wastewater treatment, bioremediation, desalination, carbon sequestration and as an alternative, renewable energy source. MFCs produces electricity via anaerobic oxidation of substrates with the subsequent extracellular electron transfer to an electrode. READ MORE

6. 4. Depolymerization of Lignocellulose by Lytic Polysaccharide MonoOxygenases

   Author : Madhu Nair Muraleedharan; Paul Christakopoulos; Ulrika Rova; Mats Sandgren; Johan Larsbrink; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biokemisk processteknik; Biochemical Process Engineering;

   Abstract : Lignocellulose biomass is considered as one of the most potential and sustainable sources for the production of value-added chemicals and fuels while replacing the traditional petroleum resources. In a biorefinery, by employing biochemical conversion processes,cellulose present in the biomass is broken down into monomeric sugars which can belater converted into fuels or chemicals. READ MORE

7. 5. Lytic Polysaccharide MonoOxygenases; their role for lignocellulose depolymerization and production of (functional) biobased compounds

   Author : Madhu Muraleedharan Nair; Paul Christakopoulos; Ulrika Rova; Mats Sandgren; Francisco Vilaplana; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biokemisk processteknik; Biochemical Process Engineering;

   Abstract : Increased environmental concerns over petroleum-based products triggered the quest to find a sustainable alternative for fuels, chemicals etc. Lignocellulose biomass, due to its abundance, is considered as one of the most promising sustainable sources for the production of fuels and chemicals, while replacing the traditional petroleum resources.
