1. Adaptations and constraints associated with autotrophy in microbial metabolism
Sammanfattning : Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities are driving climate change, but the pending crisis could be mitigated by a circular carbon economy where released CO2 is recycled into commodity chemicals. Autotrophic microbes can make a contribution by producing chemicals, such as biofuels, from CO2 and renewable energy. LÄS MER
2. Low temperature acclimation in plants : alterations in photosynthetic carbon metabolism
Sammanfattning : Although low temperature plays an important role in determining agricultural yield, little is known about the effect on the underlying biochemical and physiological processes that influence plant growth. Photosynthesis and respiration are central to plant growth and both processes are heavily affected by temperature. LÄS MER
3. Nitrogen fixation among marine bacterioplankton
Sammanfattning : While bacterioplankton indisputably control vital biogeochemical paths in the cycling of carbon and nutrients in the world’s oceans, our knowledge about the functional and genetic diversity of bacterioplankton communities is negligible. In this thesis, molecular and more traditional microbiological methods were used to study the specific function of N2-fixation and in a general sense diversity of marine bacterioplankton species.

4. Increased Carbon Fixation for Chemical Production in Cyanobacteria
Sammanfattning : The combustion of fossil fuels has created many environmental problems, the major one, the greenhouse effect. Thus, we need solutions in order to replace fossil fuels and recycle the CO2 in the atmosphere. Renewable energies have created attention the last decades but electricity is the main energy form obtained. LÄS MER
5. Regulation of nitrogen fixation in Rhodospirillum rubrum : Through proteomics and beyond
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
