16. β-Mannan degradation by gut bacteria - Characterization of β-mannanases from families GH5 and GH26
Abstract : The human gut flora is important for our well-being. The gut bacteria are able to degrade and metabolize complex carbohydrates. Examples of such carbohydrates are β-mannans. β-Mannans consist of a backbone of β-1,4-linked mannose units and are present in e. READ MORE

17. Chemical characterization in the biorefinery of lignocellulose : Formation and management of oxalic acid and analysis of feedstocks for bioethanol production
Abstract : The pulp and paper industry is entering a new era. Pulp mills will be transformed to biorefineries that produce not only pulp, but also biofuels and novel products from lignocellulose. This thesis addresses problems connected with the industrial transition to environmental-friendly technologies and the implementation of the biorefinery concept. READ MORE

18. Investigation of Modified Cellulose and Starch via Hydrolysis and Mass Spectrometry
Abstract : Starches and celluloses can be chemically modified in order to affect their physiochemical properties. Modification of these carbohydrate polymers entails derivatising their free hydroxyl groups with functional groups. READ MORE

19. Physico-chemical characterisation of novel surfactants
Abstract : The aim of this thesis has been to investigate thephysico-chemical behaviour of novel surfactants based onnatural raw materials. Micellization properties, adsorptionatinterfaces and dynamic aspects have been studied. In additioncomplex formation of surfactants with enzymes and polymers hasbeen evaluated. READ MORE

20. Mechanistic Studies of Dinuclear Metalloenzymes - A Model Approach
Abstract : With the goal to study the mechanisms of dinuclear metalloenzymes, a new line of synthetic and computational models were prepared and studied. Mixed imidazole and carboxylate multidentate complexes were synthesized to better simulate carboxylate-rich ligand environments. READ MORE
