2. 1. Perinatal essential fatty acid deficiency in mice: effects on metabolism and behaviour

   Author : Vilborg Palsdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : essential fatty acids; perinatal period; maternal diet; diet-induced obesity; insulin resistance; lipids; behaviour;

   Abstract : Maternal nutritional status during pregnancy and lactation influences the health of the adult offspring and an adequate supply of essential fatty acids is important for foetal and postnatal growth and development. The overall aim of this thesis was to study short- and long-term effects of perinatal essential fatty acid deficiency in mice on metabolism and behaviour. READ MORE

4. 2. Elovl3 and very long chain fatty acids; role in metabolism

   Author : Andreas Jakobsson; Anders Jacobsson; James Ntambi; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fatty acids metabolism elongation; Physiology; Fysiologi;

   Abstract : Fatty acids (FA) are important in several aspects of cellular function, for example as structural molecules and metabolic substrates. The bulk of FA up to 16 carbons (palmitic acid) in length are synthesised by a cytosolic enzyme complex called fatty acid synthase (FAS), while FA can be further elongated into very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) by membrane-bound enzymes in the endoplasmatic reticulum (ER).

5. 3. Developing a food waste-based volatile fatty acids platform using an immersed membrane bioreactor

   Author : Steven Wainaina; Jukka Rintala; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; food waste; anaerobic digestion; volatile fatty acids; immersed membrane bioreactor; edible filamentous fungi; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

   Abstract : Approximately 1.3 billion tons of food waste is produced globally every year. In principle, all the resources in the supply chain are lost (e.g. READ MORE

6. 4. Evaluation of precursor and cofactor engineering strategies influencing fatty acid metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

   Author : Alexandra Linda Bergman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; metabolic engineering; fatty acids; oleochemicals; NADPH; Sustainability; phosphoketolase; acetyl-CoA; transcription factor;

   Abstract : If humanity is to reduce the rate of climate change, it is essential that our societies switch to a more sustainable production of fuels and chemicals, which in turn depends on technological development. Oleochemical production via microbial catalysts – such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae – can use a considerably broader range of renewable substrates compared to the conventional production processes.

7. 5. Filamentous Fungi as a Sustainable Ingredient for Fish Feed

   Author : Sajjad Karimi; José Teixeira; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; compound feed; edible filamentous fungi; essential amino acids; low-value substrates; polyunsaturated fatty acids; protein sources; submerged cultivation; thin stillage; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

   Abstract : Limited feed ingredients hinder aquaculture’s rapid growth. Current unsustainable fish feeding practices use ingredients like fishmeal and soybean meal, which could be directly consumed for as human food. This demands novel alternatives for fish nutrition. READ MORE
