  1. 1. A study of ethylene production via the 2-oxoglutarate dependent pathway in S. cerevisiae

    Författare :Nina Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ethylene forming enzyme; Ethylene; respiration rate; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; cultivation; production; nitrogen metabolism; 2-oxoglutarate; enzyme engineering; metabolic modeling;

    Sammanfattning : The detrimental effect of the petroleum industry on the environment combined with the threat of peak oil has driven the exploration for alternative strategies to produce traditional petrochemicals. Biotechnological production could be an alternative, using microorganisms to convert renewable feedstocks into desired products. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Nitrogen and Redox Metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Författare :Eva Albers; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; glutamate; protein expression; anaerobic physiology; nitrogen metabolism; redox; serine;

    Sammanfattning : Anaerobic conversion of glucose to ethanol by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been studied. Glycerol is formed as a by-product in order to maintain the overall redox balance. LÄS MER

  4. 3. PII proteins as global regulators of bacterial nitrogen metabolism

    Författare :Pedro Filipe Teixeira; Stefan Nordlund; Ray Dixon; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rhodospirillum rubrum; nitrogen metabolism; signal transduction; PII proteins; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Nitrogen is an essential element to sustain life, being a component of most biological macromolecules. In spite of the abundance of gaseous N2, the availability of nitrogen compounds that can be readily used by most microorganisms is scarce and its production energetically demanding. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Redox balancing in recombinant strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Författare :Mikael Anderlund; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; xylose isomerase; xylitol dehydrogenase; xylose reductase; glycerol; xylitol; xylose; E. coli; A. vinelandii; T. thermophilus; S. cerevisiae; P. stipitis; transhydrogenase.; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Sammanfattning : In metabolically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing Pichia stipitis XYL1 and XYL2 genes, encoding xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH), respectively, xylitol is excreted as the major product during anaerobic xylose fermentation and only low yields of ethanol are produced. This has been interpreted as a result of the dual cofactor dependence of XR and the exclusive use of NAD+ by XDH. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Regulation of nitrogen fixation in Rhodospirillum rubrum : Through proteomics and beyond

    Författare :Tiago Selao; Agneta Norén; Daniel Arp; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rhodospirillum rubrum; nitrogen fixation; redox balance; switch-off; DRAT; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Adaptability is one of the reasons for the success of bacteria, allowing them to survive in conditions where no other organisms would be able to thrive. Nitrogen deficiency, for example, can be a limiting factor for the growth of micro-organisms, as this element is an essential part of almost all types of biomolecules. LÄS MER
