  2. 1. CRISPRi/a for investigating yeast tolerance to inhibitors in lignocellulosic hydrolysates

    Author : Ibai Lenitz Etxaburu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lignocellulosic hydrolysates; ChIP-exo; Screening; Biosensor; Formic acid; Competitive growth assay; Yeast; Tolerance; CRISPRi a; Acetic acid;

    Abstract : Saccharomyces cerevisiae has immense potential as a cell factory in various biotechnological processes where biomass from agricultural industry residues is used as feedstock. Nonetheless, the inhibitors released during the pretreatment of the biomass makes lignocellulosic hydrolysates a challenging substrate for microorganisms. READ MORE

    Abstract : Baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae’s potential in industrial biotechnology for producing valuable products e.g. biofuels, bulk chemicals, bio-flavours and pharmaceuticals is established. READ MORE

  5. 3. Combining Metabolic Engineering and Synthetic Biology Approaches for the Production of Abscisic Acid in Yeast

    Author : Maximilian Otto; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metabolic engineering; Botrytis cinerea; cell factory; abscisic acid; synthetic biology; biosensor; sesquiterpenoid; standardization; Saccharomyces cerevisiae;

    Abstract : Nature presents us with a myriad of complex and diverse molecules. Many of these molecules prove to be useful to humans and find applications as pharmaceuticals, biofuels, agrochemicals, cosmetic ingredients or food additives. One highly promising natural product with a broad range of potential applications is the terpenoid abscisic acid (ABA). READ MORE

  6. 4. Metabolic engineering of S. cerevisiae for the production of flavonoids

    Author : Marta Tous Mohedano; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microbial cell factories; high-value products; sustainability; cinnamic acid; plant natural products; Genetic engineering; yeast;

    Abstract : The interest in the production of natural products such as flavonoids has been increasing during the last decade. Flavonoids have several attractive bioactivities including antitumoral, antioxidant or antimicrobial properties. To produce these high-value products, we usually recur to chemical synthesis or plant extraction. READ MORE
