1. Microbial Production of Bio-Based Chemicals: A Biorefinery Perspective
Sammanfattning : A shift from fossil- to renewable biomass feedstock for the emerging bio-based economy requires the development and adoption of new sustainable technologies that are more suited for transformation of biomass components to chemicals, materials and energy. This thesis presents investigations on the development of processes based on industrial biotechnology as a key element for the production of chemicals from agro-/industrial by-products. LÄS MER
2. Enhancement of Volatile Fatty Acid Production from Dairy Wastewater
Sammanfattning : Resource recovery from waste-streams is a highly promising approach to meet with urbanization and modernization consequences. Rapid human population growth, expanding industrialization and excessive consumption of resources lead to increasing demand for raw materials and energy sources, and an escalation of greenhouse gas emission.

3. High Cell Density Strategies and Adaptive Evolution for Microbial Propionic Acid Production
Sammanfattning : Propionic acid (PA) is a naturally occurring short chain fatty acid produced by microbial fermentation of the indigestible foods in the intestine, having a positive effect on the gastrointestinal health. PA inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and molds; hence it is widely used as preservative for food, feed and grains. LÄS MER
4. Synthesis and characterization of dendritic macromolecules based on 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid
Sammanfattning : Dendrimers are a relatively new type of macromolecules characterized by a well-defined, highly branthed, layered structure with a multitude of chain ends, adopting a globular shape at higher molar masses. Dendrimers are usually constructed from ABx type of monomers in either one of the two step-wise approaches known as thedivergentor theconvergent growth approach. LÄS MER
5. Dendrimers and dendronized polymers : synthesis and characterization
Sammanfattning : The goal of this work was to synthesize complex macromolecular architectures such as dendrimers and dendronized polymers, and evaluate the effect from the dendrons on the optical and material properties. The work presented in this doctoral thesis, Dendrimers and Dendronized Polymers - Synthesis and Characterization, is divided into one minor and one major part. LÄS MER
