  1. 1. Engineering central carbon metabolism with phosphoketolase pathways in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Författare :John Hellgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; precursor supply; transcriptomics; sustainability; non-oxidative glycolysis; Carbon-conservation; metabolic engineering; platform strain; GATHCYC; proteomics;

    Sammanfattning : We need more efficient biocatalysts to make sustainable microbial production of chemicals and fuels more profitable before they can replace petroleum-based sources. Rewiring the metabolic pathways in the biocatalysts to avoid the loss of carbon as CO2 can aid in improving product yields and thereby the profitability of the process. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Seagrass meadows are effective carbon sinks, sequestering atmospheric CO2 and capturing allochthonous organic material, storing organic carbon (Corg) in their sediments, so called Blue Carbon. In tropical areas, seagrass meadows have a high number of calcareous organisms, which can offset carbon sequestration by releasing CO2 through their calcification. LÄS MER
