6. Molecular mechanisms involved in prokaryotic cycling of labile dissolved organic matter in the sea
Sammanfattning : Roughly half of the global primary production originates from microscopic phytoplankton in marine ecosystems, converting carbon dioxide into organic matter. This organic matter pool consists of a myriad of compounds that fuel heterotrophic bacterioplankton. LÄS MER
7. Exploring glycoside hydrolase family 5 (GH5) enzymes
Sammanfattning : In 1990, the classification of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) was introduced by the scientist Bernard Henrissat. According to sequence similarity, these enzymes were separated into families with conserved structures and reaction mechanisms. LÄS MER
8. Structure and functional studies of plant cell wall degrading enzymes : glycoside hydrolase family 3 β-glucosidases and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases
Sammanfattning : Presently, plant biomass is considered as one of the major future renewable sources for the production of second-generation biofuels. While the first generation biofuels essentially are based on starch and sucrose rich feed stocks and which production may compete with food production, the second-generation biofuels may be based on lignocellulose as feedstock, which is less problematic from an ethical point of view.

9. Functional genomics of wood degradation and biosynthesis
Sammanfattning : Forest biotechnology is a fast emerging field of research. The application of biotechnological tools will enhance the quality of the forest products. The resultant value added and environmentally sustainable products are an absolute necessity in the future. LÄS MER
10. Discovery and Characterization of a Novel Microtubule Associated Protein Involved in Cellulose Biosynthesis
Sammanfattning : Cell walls are a distinct feature of plants and their chemical constituents, cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin, are economically valuable. Plant fibres rich in cellulose, which mainly resides in their cell wall, are traditionally used in making paper and textiles. LÄS MER
