2. 1. Fungal Redox Enzymes Involved in the Oxidation of Organic Pollutants

   Author : Enrique Terrazas; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biotechnology; Biokemisk teknik; Organic pollutants.; Environmental technology; pollution control; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; Biochemical technology; Laccase; Lignin peroxidase; Manganese peroxidase; Fusarium sp. strain BOL35; Biodegradation; Bjerkandera sp. strain BOL13; Bioteknik;

   Abstract : This work describes the degradation of nonylphenol, toxaphene, phenanthrene, benzo[a]pyrene and dyes using fungi and their redox enzymes. Two fungi, Bjerkandera sp. strain BOL13 and Fusarium sp. strain BOL35 were isolated from different geographic area in Bolivia. READ MORE

4. 2. Spectroelectrochemistry of Redox Enzymes

   Author : Andreas Christenson; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Elektrokemi; Electrochemistry; complex II; bilirubin oxidase; laccase; enzyme mechanism; redox potential; electron transfer; spectroelectrochemistry; redox enzymes; Spectroelectrochemical cell;

   Abstract : A low volume and long optical path spectroelectrochemical cell was constructed and tested in a number of applications such as detection of direct electron transfer (DET) between redox enzymes and gold electrodes, determination of the formal potentials of redox centres in proteins and enzymes, as well as mechanistic studies of heterogeneous and intermolecular electron transfer of copper oxidases and succinate:quinine oxidoreductase (Complex II). The existence of DET between enzymes and electrodes was demonstrated for theophylline oxidase, cytochrome P450 cam, laccase, bilirubin oxidase, sulphite oxidase and Complex II. READ MORE

5. 3. Ethanol from Lignocellulose - Fermentation Inhibitors, Detoxification and Genetic Engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for Increased Resistance

   Author : Simona Larsson; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; detoxification; S. cerevisiae; lignocellulose; inhibition; phenolic compounds; laccase; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

   Abstract : Ethanol can be produced from lignocellulose by first hydrolysing the material to sugars, and then fermenting the hydrolysate with the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Hydrolysis using dilute sulphuric acid has advantages over other methods, however, compounds which inhibit fermentation are generated during this kind of hydrolysis. READ MORE

6. 4. The Use of Lignin Derivatives to Improve Selected Paper Properties

   Author : Stefan Antonsson; Mikael E. Lindström; Gunnar Henriksson; Mats Johansson; Docent Roland Agnemo Tek. Dr. Harald Brelid; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; kraft lignin; black liquor; cross-flow filtration; lignin derivative; kraftliner; oxidative coupling; laccase; manganese; linseed oil; mechano-sorptive creep; kraftlignin; svartlut; tvärsflödesfiltrering; ligninderivat; kraftliner; oxidativ koppling; lackas; mangan; linolja; mekanosorptivt kryp; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

   Abstract : Ved består huvudsakligen av tre typer av polymerer, cellulosa, hemicellulosa och lignin. Lignin bildas i naturen genom enzymatiskt initierad oxidativ koppling av tre olika typer av fenylpropan-enheter. Dessa bygger genom olika kol-kol- och kol-syre-bindningar upp en amorf tredimensionell polymer. READ MORE

7. 5. Treatment of textile wastewaters using combinations of biological and physico-chemical methods

   Author : Maria Jonstrup; Bioteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; azo dyes; anaerobic-aerobic treatment; white rot fungi; laccase; photocatalysis; photo-Fenton;

   Abstract : Considerable amounts of water and chemicals are used in the textile industry, and the presence of dyes in the wastewater is a problem of environmental concern. Synthetic dyes are designed to resist light, water and chemicals to improve the quality of the textiles; however, these properties also contribute to their persistence in the environment. READ MORE
