1. Structural and functional studies of glycoside hydrolase family 12 enzymes from Trichoderma reesei and other cellulolytic microorganisms
Abstract : Cellulose is the most abundant organic compound on earth. A wide range of highly specialized microorganisms, have evolved that utilize cellulose as carbon and energy source. Enzymes called cellulases, produced by these cellulolytic organisms, perform the major part of cellulose degradation. READ MORE

2. Symbiotic and pathogenic factors in plant-microbe interaction: Structural basis of C-glycoside metabolism and lipoprotein transport in bacteria
Abstract : The communication between plants and bacteria involves a complex chemical signaling network that mediates responses to various biotic and abiotic stresses, as well as establishing symbiotic relationships between different organisms.The first part of the thesis focuses on a mechanism for symbiotic communication between plants and bacteria and more specifically on how C-glycosylated aromatic polyketide compounds produced by plants can be used as a mechanism for plants to communicate with beneficial bacteria.

3. Depolymerization of Lignocellulose by Lytic Polysaccharide MonoOxygenases
Abstract : Lignocellulose biomass is considered as one of the most potential and sustainable sources for the production of value-added chemicals and fuels while replacing the traditional petroleum resources. In a biorefinery, by employing biochemical conversion processes,cellulose present in the biomass is broken down into monomeric sugars which can belater converted into fuels or chemicals. READ MORE

4. Lytic Polysaccharide MonoOxygenases; their role for lignocellulose depolymerization and production of (functional) biobased compounds
Abstract : Increased environmental concerns over petroleum-based products triggered the quest to find a sustainable alternative for fuels, chemicals etc. Lignocellulose biomass, due to its abundance, is considered as one of the most promising sustainable sources for the production of fuels and chemicals, while replacing the traditional petroleum resources.
