  1. 1. Phenolics, Nitrogen, and Biotic Interactions : A Study of Phenylpropanoid Metabolites and Gene Expression in the Leaves of Populus tremula

    Författare :Vicki Huizu Decker; Benedicte Riber Albrectsen; George Newcombe; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Populus tremula; condensed tannins; salicinoids; phenolics; genetic variation; soil nitrogen fertilization; herbivory; biology; biologi;

    Sammanfattning : European aspen (Populus tremula) is a fast growing tree species, rich in phenolic compounds. Defense theories suggest that soil nitrogen greatly influence plant allocation togrowth and defense; however, the allocation priorities are not well understood. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Trametes versicolor as biodegrader and biocatalyst when using lignocellulose for ethanol production

    Författare :Marie Holmgren; Anita Sellstedt; Mohammad Taherzadeh; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lignocellulose; 5-carbon; 6-carbon; Trametes versicolor; xylose reductase; xylitol dehydrogenase; xylulokinase; phenolics; levulinic acid; HMF; furfural; biodegrader; biocatalyst; pretreatment; xylanase; beta-glucosidase;

    Sammanfattning : Energy consumption has increased rapidly during the last century due to population growth and greater industrialization. Lignocellulosic-based biofuels are being developed as alternatives to fossil fuels. For many years the question of how 5-carbon sugars in biomass are utilized in nature has been a vexed one. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Effect of Snow on Plants and Their Interactions with Herbivores

    Författare :Mikaela Torp; Johan Olofsson; Christa Mulder; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Snow; arctic ecosystem; plant-herbivore interactions; phenology; nitrogen; phenolics; experimental manipulation; natural gradient; inter-annual variability; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : The ongoing climate changes are predicted to accelerate fast in arctic regions with increases in both temperatures and precipitation. Although the duration of snow cover is generally expected to decrease in the future, snow depth may paradoxically increase in those areas where a large amount of the elevated precipitation will fall as snow.

  5. 4. Improving the Response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to Lignocellulosic Hydrolysate Inhibitors in Ethanolic Fermentation

    Författare :Joao Almeida; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; furfural; ethanol; fermentation; phenolics; furaldehyde; HMF; ADH1; xylose reductase; tolerance; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Lignocellulosic hydrolysate inhibitors; ADH6;

    Sammanfattning : The production of ethanol based on lignocellulosic biomass requires the fermentation of a hydrolysate containing hexose and pentose sugars in an inhibitory environment. In fact, the lignocellulosic hydrolysate obtained from pretreatment and hydrolysis of the raw material contains a variety of inhibitory compounds, including (i) the furaldehydes 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF) and 2-furaldehyde (furfural), (ii) weak acids (e.

  7. 5. Solar-based physicochemical-biological processes for the treatment of toxic and recalcitrant effluents

    Författare :Tamer Essam; Bioteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bioteknik; Biotechnology; combined process; biodegradaiton; phenolics; phenol; Advanced Oxidation Processes; Photodegradation; photolysis;

    Sammanfattning : Wastewater treatment is a worldwide necessity that is even more crucial to countries deprived from abundant fresh water sources or unable to afford advanced and costly processes. With this perspective, this thesis was conducted within an Egyptian-Swedish research collaboration that aimed to develop solar-based (as free renewable energy source available locally) process for hazardous wastewater treatment.
