  2. 1. Exploring Yeast as a Cell Factory for the Production of Carboxylic Acids and Derivatives

    Author : Diogo Portugal-Nunes; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Poly-3-D-hydroxybutyrate PHB ; Carboxylic acids; Alpha-ketoglutarate AKG ; Xylose assimilation; Weimberg pathway;

    Abstract : Baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a promising cell factory for the sustainable utilization of renewable resources for the formation of products with commercial value. Among these, poly-3-D-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is an extensively studied biopolymer naturally accumulated in some bacteria and archaea species through the formation of carbon granules. READ MORE

  4. 2. The role of sugar sensing and pathway selection on D-xylose utilization by Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Author : Celina Tufvegren; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Biorefineries have the potential to partially or entirely replace petrochemistry for the production of our daily bulk and fine chemicals. However, this replacement can only be sustainable and cost-effective if the raw material used is cheap, renewable and does not compete with the food and feed industry. READ MORE

  5. 3. Dicarboxylic acids from xylose, using natural and engineered hosts

    Author : Henrik Almqvist; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : Xylose; Dicarboxylic Acids; Biorefineries; Actinobacillus succinogenes; Basfia succiniciproducens; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Caulobacter crescentus;

    Abstract : Chemical building blocks for plastics can be produced from renewable biomass feedstocks using microbial production organisms, such as yeast or bacteria, in a biorefinery. One class of chemical building blocks that are suitable for production of biobased and biodegradable plastics are dicarboxylic acids, e.g. succinic acid. READ MORE
