  1. 21. Bioplastics from Biomass - Acetylation of Xylans with Green Chemistry

    Författare :Agnes Stépán; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : There is social, environmental and increasing economic pressure on the industrial sector to substitute non-renewable resources with renewable ones as the increasing World population is exponentially depleting the fossil fuel supplies of the Earth. Each year about 260 million tons of plastics are produced from crude oil and most of it ends up as waste. LÄS MER

  3. 22. The GRE3 encoded aldo-keto reductase and its influence on xylose fermentation in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains

    Författare :Karin Träff; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biochemical technology; Biokemisk teknik; dihydroxyacetone phosphate; xylose reductase; xylose; xylose isomerase; GRE3; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; aldo-keto reductase;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to improve ethanol formation from xylose in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. This was achieved by decreasing the xylitol by-product formation. Gre3p is the major xylose-reducing enzyme in S. cerevisiae. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Design of kinetic models for assessment of critical aspects in bioprocess development : A case study of biohydrogen

    Författare :Johanna Björkmalm; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; kinetic models; biohydrogen; Caldicellulosiruptor; substrate; diauxic; inhibition; osmotolerance;

    Sammanfattning : The world faces major climate challenges and extensive efforts need to be taken to combat this issue. Replacing fossil-derived fuels and chemicals with renewables are one important step on the way. Hydrogen has a great potential as a renewable energy carrier for the transport sector and as a green chemical for the industry. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Appraisal of strategies to improve thermophilic hydrogen production exploiting Caldicellulosiruptor species

    Författare :Eoin Byrne; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Caldicellulosiruptor; Hydrogen; osmotolerance; Biorefinery; Osmolarity; Adaptive laboratory evolution; Co-culture; Volumetric productivity; Methane; Polyhydroxybutyrate; Coprothermobacter proteolyticus;

    Sammanfattning : The transition from a fossil to a bio-based economy is of vital importance to stem the effects of ongoing climate change.This bio-based economy will necessitate the production of both biofuels and chemical compounds from biologicalsources. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Study on the structure and properties of xylan extracted from eucalyptus, sugarcane bagasse and sugarcane straw

    Författare :Danila Carvalho; Mikael Lindström; Åsa Emmer; Sverker Danielsson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Lignocellulosic biomasses are an important source of chemical components such as cellulose, lignin and hemicelluloses, and can be used for a variety of purposes in both the pulp and paper and chemical conversion industries. Xylan, the main hemicellulose found in hardwood and grass plants, plays an important role during the pulping/pretreatment process reactions, including those used in 2nd generation bioethanol production.
