  2. 21. Systems and Synthetic Biology: ​“Mining human gut microbial metabolism through in vitro and in silico approaches”

    Author : Promi Das; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gut; bile acids; metatranscriptomics; in vitro co-cultures; metagenomics; co-occurrence network; short chain fatty acids; metabolomics; metabolism; vitamins;

    Abstract : The human gut microbiome is a consequence of mutual co-evolutionary interaction between the eukaryotic and prokaryotic parts of the mammalian holobiont. Based on the environmental and dietary inputs, there is a succession of microorganisms living inside the human colon. READ MORE

  4. 22. 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.

  5. 23. Expanding role of caveolae in control of adipocyte metabolism : proteomics of caveolae

    Author : Nabila Aboulaich; Peter Strålfors; Alexander Vener; Hans Jörnvall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diabetes; Insulin signalling; Fatty acid metabolism; Proteomics; Mass spectrometry; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : The primary function of adipose tissue is to store energy in the form of triacylglycerol, which is hydrolyzed to fatty acids to supply other tissues with energy. While insulin promotes the storage of triacylglycerol, catecholamines stimulate its hydrolysis. READ MORE

  6. 24. The control of growth and metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Author : Josefin Friberg; Simon Tuck; Cathy Savage-Dunn; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TGFβ; insulin; collagen; p70 S6K; metabolism; growth; dauer; Caenorhabditis elegans; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : The control of growth is a poorly understood aspect of animal development. This thesis focuses on body size regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans, and in particular, how worms grow to a certain size. In C. elegans, a key regulator of size is the TGFβ homologue DBL-1. READ MORE

  7. 25. Multidimensional engineering for the production of fatty acid derivatives in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Author : Yating Hu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; protein engineering; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; fatty acid derivatives; metabolic engineering; tolerance; transporter;

    Abstract : Saccharomyces cerevisiae , also known as budding yeast, has been important for human society since ancient time due to its use during bread making and beer brewing, but it has also made important contribution to scientific studies as model eukaryote. The ease of genetic modification and the robustness and tolerance towards harsh conditions have established yeast as one of the most popular chassis in industrial-scale production of various compounds.
