  1. 16. Glycoside hydrolases from Rhodothermus marinus Modular organisation and structure-function relationships

    Författare :Maher Abou-Hachem; Bioteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; calcium-binding; modular; endoglucanase; thermostable; CBM; xylanase; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The thermophilic bacterium Rhodothermus marinus produces several thermostable glycoside hydrolases. The studies presented in this thesis were performed on two enzymes, belonging to glycoside hydrolase families 10 and 12, produced by this microorganism. The family 10 xylanase, Xyn10A, is modular in architecture consisting of five domains or modules. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Understanding and manipulating primary cell walls in plant cell suspension cultures

    Författare :Felicia Leijon; Vincent Bulone; Katja Salomon Johansen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Callose synthase; carbohydrate-binding module; cell wall engineering; cellulose microfibril; cellulose nanocrystal; glycosyltransferase; mass spectrometry; plasmodesmata; Populus; primary cell wall; radiometric assay; spectrophotometric assay; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Sammanfattning : The cell wall is required for many aspects of plant function and development. It is also an accessible and renewable resource utilized both in unrefined forms and as raw material for further development. Increased knowledge regarding cell wall structure and components will contribute to better utilization of plants and the resources they provide. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Structural studies of sugar binding proteins

    Författare :Sanjeewani Sooriyaarachchi; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Binding proteins, which are themselves non-enzymatic, play an important role in enzymatic reactions as well as non-enzymatic processes by providing a binding platform for the specific recognition of particular molecules. For example, periplasmic binding proteins play a vital role in nutrient uptake in Gram-negative bacteria. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Biosynthesis of bacterial polysaccharides by novel glycosyltransferase enzymes

    Författare :Shu-Chieh Chang; Yves S. Y. Hsieh; Ute Römling; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Sammanfattning : Within the intricate microbiological realm, exopolysaccharides (EPS) emerge as a significant class of high molecular weight polysaccharides, serving pivotal roles in bacterial survival, virulence, communication, and defense against environmental adversities. The versatile nature of bacterial EPS extends beyond mere biological functions, reaching into medications, cosmetics, functional food, and sustainable industries. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Alternative feed sources : Effect on gut microbiota, immunity and health of rainbow trout

    Författare :Aprajita Aprajita; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Shifting from conventional fishmeal- and soymeal-based aquafeed to low-cost, sustainable dietary alternatives is essential for expansion and resilience in aquaculture. Possible alternative feed resources include under-utilised organic wastes from agriculture and households and by-products from forestry. LÄS MER
