  2. 1. Metabolic engineering and cultivation strategies for recombinant production of (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate

    Author : Mariel Perez-Zabaleta; Gen Larsson; Antonius J. A. van Maris; Diethard Mattanovich; KTH; []
    Keywords : Escherichia coli; R -3-hydroxybutyrate; nitrogen limitation; nitrogen depletion; lignocellulose; fed batch; acetate; β-ketothiolase; acetoacetyl-CoA reductase; Halomonas boliviensis.; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Metabolic engineering and process engineering are two powerful disciplines to design and improve microbial processes for sustainable production of an extensive number of compounds ranging from chemicals to pharmaceuticals. The aim of this thesis was to synergistically combine these two disciplines to improve the production of a model chemical called (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), which is a medium-value product with a stereocenter and two functional groups.

  4. 2. Application of Synthetic Biology for Biopolymer Production using Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Author : Alejandro Muñoz De Las Heras; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : Saccharomyce cerevisiae; Xylose; Poly-3-d-hydroxybutyrate PHB ; NADH; NADPH; Acetyl-CoA; Metabolic engineering;

    Abstract : Plastics are versatile, cheap and durable materials that are omnipresent in modern society. Since most of them are derived from crude oil and are not biodegradable, their production leads to the depletion of fossil fuels and the accumulation of enormous amounts of plastic waste that pollutes ecosystems worldwide.

  5. 3. 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
