  2. 1. Transglycosylation by Glycoside Hydrolases - Production and modification of alkyl glycosides

    Author : Pontus Lundemo; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Glycoside hydrolases; Cyclodextrin glucanotransferases; β-glucosidases; Alkyl glycosides; Thermotoga neapolitana; Organic reaction media;

    Abstract : To enable the transition to a green, bio-based economy, an extensive enzymatic toolbox competitive to traditional chemical procedures is needed. One strong area for enzymes is carbohydrate chemistry, due to the over-functionalized nature of carbohydrates, difficult to handle in traditional chemistry. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular development of a thermostable β-glucosidase for modification of natural products

    Author : Sami Khan; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : Thermotoga neapolitana; TnBgl1A; Mutagenesis; Flavonoid; Quercetin; Immobilisation; Chaperones;

    Abstract : The gene encoding a β-glucosidase originating from the extreme thermophile Thermotoga neopolitana has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The aim was to produce a thermostable enzyme that could be used to remove sugar residues from glucosylated natural products classified as flavonoids by applying a method combining extraction in hot pressurized water with enzymatic hydrolysis.

  5. 3. Exploring thermostable glycoside hydrolases: Amylases and beta-glucosidases

    Author : Pernilla Turner; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bioteknik; Biotechnology; Proteiner; beta-glucosidase; thermostability; activity; cyclodextrinase; enzymology; crystallization; enzymologi; expression; glycoside hydrolase; Proteins; transglycosylation;

    Abstract : Two putative cyclodextrinases (CDases) were amplified from two moderate thermophiles isolated in Iceland: Anoxybacillus flavithermus and Laceyella sacchari. They were cloned, expressed and characterized. The expression of the former was optimized in E. READ MORE

  6. 4. Enzymatic hydrolysis coupled to hot water extraction for determination of flavonoids in plants

    Author : Sofia Lindahl; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; extraction; flavonoids; quercetin; biocatalysis; beta-glucosidase; sustainable chemistry; hyphenation; molecularly imprinted polymers; onion;

    Abstract : The word sustainability is more and more frequently used within the field of chemistry and in many other fields. Green or sustainable chemistry was introduced during the 90 ́s as a field of chemistry where the environmental and health impacts of processes and products are evaluated and improved. READ MORE

  7. 5. Conversion of xylan into value-added products

    Author : Reza Faryar; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; xylooligosaccharides; biosurfactant; prebiotic; xylan-based film; Lactobacillus brevis;

    Abstract : Today’s high demand on finding sustainable energy sources, replacing petroleum-based products and the needfor healthier food alternatives have forced us to search for natural recoverable resources and explore their manyhidden applications. One such resource is xylan, which has gained much attention as possible raw material forvarious exploitations. READ MORE
