  1. 1. Engineering cytosolic acetyl-CoA metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Författare :Yiming Zhang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reverse engineering; flavodoxin; genomic DNA sequencing; ferredoxin; histone deacetylase; adaptive evolution; ferredoxin flavodoxin NADP reductase; pyruvate decarboxylase; citrate synthase; hexose transporter; yeast; mitochondria; aerobic growth; metabolic engineering.; acetyl-CoA; central carbon metabolism;

    Sammanfattning : A Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain carrying deletions in all three pyruvate decarboxylase genes (also called Pdc negative yeast) represents a non-ethanol producing platform strain for biochemical production. However, it cannot grow on glucose as the sole carbon source due to the lack of cytosolic acetyl-CoA for lipid biosynthesis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Electron transport to nitrogenase in Rhodospirillum rubrum

    Författare :Tomas Edgren; Stefan Nordlund; Patrick Hallenbeck; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rhodospirillum rubrum; nitrogen fixation; electron transport; FixABCX; ferredoxin; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Sammanfattning : Biological nitrogen fixation is a key step in the global nitrogen cycle. In this process, dinitrogen in the air is converted to biologically accessible ammonia, which is further assimilated in to the biosphere. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Ultrafast Structural and Electron Dynamics in Soft Matter Exposed to Intense X-ray Pulses

    Författare :Olof Jönsson; Carl Caleman; Nicusor Timneanu; Olle Björneholm; Jörgen Larsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X-ray free-electron laser; Serial Femtosecond Crystallography; Radiation Damage; Plasma Simulations; Ultrafast Lasers; X-ray Imaging; Diffraction Theory; Ultrafast Phenomena; Hit Detection; Plasma Emission Spectra; Serial Femtosecond Crystallography; Protein Structure; Protein Crystallography; Metalloprotein; Non-thermal Heating; Water; Ferredoxin; NLTE Simulation; XFEL; FEL; SFX; Physics with specialization in Biophysics; Fysik med inriktning mot biofysik;

    Sammanfattning : Investigations of soft matter using ultrashort high intensity pulses have been made possible through the advent of X-ray free-electrons lasers. The last decade has seen the development of a new type of protein crystallography where femtosecond dynamics can be studied, and single particle imaging with atomic resolution is on the horizon.

  5. 4. Insights into the metabolism of Clostridium thermocellum for cellulosic ethanol production

    Författare :Johannes Yayo; Antonius J. A. van Maris; Richard Sparling; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Clostridium thermocellum; ethanol; glucose; fructose; amino acids; pyrophosphate; chaotropicity; thermodynamic driving force; laboratory evolution; chemostats; metabolic engineering; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Sammanfattning : The societal goal of reaching net-zero CO2 emissions requires development of integrated biorefineries to produce biomass-derived fuels and chemicals. For sustainable second-generation bioethanol production, consolidated bioprocessing with the thermophile Clostridium thermocellum is regarded as a promising concept in view of the microorganism’s native ability to efficiently degrade plant cell wall material.
