1. Xyloglucan-active enzymes : properties, structures and applications
Abstract : Cellulosabaserade material är världens rikligast förekommande förnyelsebara råvara. Växters cellväggar är naturliga kompositmaterial där den kristallina cellulosan är inbäddad i en väv av hemicellulosa, strukturproteiner och lignin. READ MORE

2. Design and synthesis of xyloglucan oligosaccharides : structure-function studies and application of xyloglucan endotransglycosylase PttXET16A
Abstract : Primary cell walls are a composite of cellulose microfibrilsand hemicelluloses. Xyloglucan is the principal hemicelluloseof primary cell walls of dicotyledons. Xyloglucanendotransglycosylases (XETs) cleave and religate xyloglucanpolymers in plant cell walls. READ MORE

3. Plant and microbial xyloglucanases: Function, Structure and Phylogeny
Abstract : In this thesis, enzymes acting on the primary cell wall hemicellulose xyloglucan are studied. Xyloglucans are ubiquitous in land plants which make them an important polysaccharide to utilise for microbes and a potentially interesting raw material for various industries. READ MORE

4. Strategies for cellulose fiber modification
Abstract : This thesis describes strategies for and examples ofcellulose fiber modification.The ability of an engineered biocatalyst, acellulose-binding module fused to theCandida antarcticalipase B, to catalyze ring-openingpolymerization of e-caprolactone in close proximity tocellulose fiber surfaces was explored.

5. Surface modification of cellulose materials : from wood pulps to artificial blood vessels
Abstract : This thesis describes the improvement of two radically different cellulose materials, paper and artificial blood vessels, constructed from two diverse cellulose sources, wood pulp and Acetobacter xylinum. The improvement of both materials was possible due to the natural affinity of the hemicellulose xyloglucan for cellulose. READ MORE
