  2. 26. Hybrid antibacterial microneedle patches against skin infections

    Author : Jill Ziesmer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are a major healthcare burden that has increased in incidence since the beginning of the 21st century resulting in an annual spending of approximately 15 b$ in 2012 in the United States (US).1 Treatment of SSTIs is complex and typically involves the administration of antibiotics.

  4. 27. Four carbon oxychemicals from renewable resources

    Author : Adam Marschall Jaros; Christian Andersson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biokemisk processteknik; Biochemical Process Engineering;

    Abstract : Butanol, butyric acid and butyraldehyde are important 4-carbon oxychemicals typically generated from petro-chemical sources. All have significant markets in the food industry either for direct use as flavorings or as chemical feedstocks for generating butyric acid and butyraldehyde derived flavour compounds. READ MORE

  5. 28. Microbial polymers produced from residual biomass: exploring the potential of different microbes

    Author : Luis Alejandro Romero Soto; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microbial polymers; Exopolysaccharides; Polyhydroxybutyrates; residual biomass; agrowaste; pretreatment; hydrolysates; optimisation;

    Abstract : Microorganisms are important sources of diverse intracellular and extracellular biopolymers havingdifferent functions such as serving as carbon and energy reserves, or as protective layers around the cells in theform of capsules and/or biofilms. They have also found use in foods, medicine and other industrial applications. READ MORE

  6. 29. Remediation of mercury contaminated soil and biological mercury methylation in the landscape

    Author : Jingying Xu; Stefan Bertilsson; Andrea Garcia Bravo; Dario Acha; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mercury contamination; Soil remediation; Methylmercury; Mercury methylation; hgcA; Community composition; Bacteria; Landscape; Biologi med inriktning mot mikrobiologi; Biology with specialization in Microbiology;

    Abstract : Accumulation of mercury (Hg) in soil originating from both natural and anthropogenic sources poses a major hazard to environmental and human health. Inorganic Hg(II) in soil can be transformed to highly toxic methylmercury (MeHg) mainly via methylating microorganisms. READ MORE

  7. 30. Flame nanoengineering of antibiofilm surfaces for medical implants

    Author : Felix J. Geissel; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Infection of bone implants is a major problem in the Healthcare sector today. Over the last years it has started to become more problematic due to biofilm formation and increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). A biofilm provides mechanical shielding to bacteria by ingulfing them leading to a less effective treatment with antibiotics. READ MORE
