1. Glycolytic flux regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae during anaerobic growth and starvation
Abstract : The physiology of S. cerevisiae under anaerobic growth conditions is of interest not least during implementation and development of industrial yeast-catalysed ethanol fermentations in order to maintain a productive yeast population. READ MORE

2. Metabolic engineering and random mutagenesis for improved xylose utilisation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract : In this thesis I have summarised my work on the analysis and improvement of xylose utilisation by recombinant S. cerevisiae. A metabolic flux model was developed and used to analyse the intracellular fluxes in the recombinant xylose utilising S. cerevisiae TMB 3001 cultivated in chemostat at various dilution rates and xylose/glucose concentrations.

3. Modulators of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytochrome c oxidase : Implications for the regulation of mitochondrial respiration
Abstract : Oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria is performed by enzyme complexes and electron carriers that reside in the inner membrane. It is now generally accepted that these respiratory enzyme complexes assemble into larger so-called supercomplexes. However, it is presently not known why, under which conditions or how these supercomplexes form. READ MORE

4. Engineering Saccharomyces cerevisiae for mixed-sugar fermentation
Abstract : Efficient fermentation of all the monomeric sugars derived from lignocellulose is crucial to increase the economy of bioethanol production, since they can account for a considerable fraction of the fermentable sugars in the raw material. This thesis describes the engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains for improved xylose, galactose and/or arabinose utilization. READ MORE

5. Nitrogen and Redox Metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract : Anaerobic conversion of glucose to ethanol by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been studied. Glycerol is formed as a by-product in order to maintain the overall redox balance. READ MORE
