2. 1. Cyanobacterial Hydrogen Metabolism : Regulation and Maturation of Hydrogenases

   Author : Ellenor Devine; Peter Lindblad; Karin Stensjö; Laurent Cournac; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cyanobacteria; hydrogenase; hydrogenase specific protease; maturation; regulation; transcriptional studies; hupW; hoxW; hyp; NtcA; CalA; Biology; Biologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi; Chemistry with specialization in Microbial Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot mikrobiell kemi;

   Abstract : In times with elevated CO2 levels and global warming there is a need of finding alternatives to carbon based energy carriers. One such environmental friendly solution could be H2 produced by living organisms. READ MORE

4. 2. Development of Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics Tools : From Hydrogen Evolution to Cell Division in Cyanobacteria

   Author : Fernando Lopes Pinto; Peter Lindblad; Röbbe Wünschiers; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : The use of fossil fuels presents a particularly interesting challenge - our society strongly depends on coal and oil, but we are aware that their use is damaging the environment. Currently, this awareness is gaining momentum, and pressure to evolve towards an energetically cleaner planet is very strong. READ MORE

5. 3. Biological Production of Hydrogen and Methane: Process Evaluation and Design through Modeling

   Author : Mattias Ljunggren; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biological hydrogen production; dark fermentation; photofermentation; process simulation; economic evaluation; gas upgrading; anaerobic digestion;

   Abstract : A great deal of research is being carried out on the biological production of hydrogen and methane. However, little effort has been devoted to studying the technical and economic feasibility of these processes. READ MORE

6. 4. Influence of electrode material and stochastic factors on the performance and microbial community assembly in microbial electrochemical systems

   Author : Marie Abadikhah; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microbial community assembly; bioanode; biocathode; biochemical system;

   Abstract : Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) are systems with microbial communities in the form of biofilms on electrode surfaces. The electrogenic bacteria in the anode biofilm act as catalysts for the oxidization of organic compounds, leading to release of electrons, generation of electrical current, and production of hydrogen and methane at the cathode.

7. 5. Caldicellulosiruptor Saccharolyticus: an Ideal Hydrogen Producer?

   Author : Sudhanshu Pawar; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Keywords : Caldicellulosiruptor owensensis; Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus; hydrogen; volumetric hydrogen productivity; biofilm; osmotolerance; wheat straw hydrolysate; evolutionary engineering; CSTR; UA reactor and uracil auxotrophy;

   Abstract : Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus is an extremely thermophilic, strictly anaerobic, Gram-positive and cellulolytic microorganism with a natural ability to produce hydrogen (H2) at nearly theoretical maximum yield, i.e. 4 mol/ mol of glucose. READ MORE
