16. Influence of Herring (Clupea harengus) Intake on Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes four studies that investigated whether or not herring (Clupea harengus) intake decreases cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. It has previously been shown that fatty fish and fish oil intake decreases the risk of atherosclerosis and CVD. LÄS MER
17. Engineering Saccharomyces cerevisiae for mixed-sugar fermentation
Sammanfattning : Efficient fermentation of all the monomeric sugars derived from lignocellulose is crucial to increase the economy of bioethanol production, since they can account for a considerable fraction of the fermentable sugars in the raw material. This thesis describes the engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains for improved xylose, galactose and/or arabinose utilization. LÄS MER
18. Engineering synthetic pathways for adipic acid biosynthesis
Sammanfattning : Utilization of petroleum in consumer product manufacturing is causing irreversible environmental damage. Its impact on land, sea, and air calls for the development of more sustainable technologies based on the use of renewable materials such as lignocellulosic biomass and its conversion into platform chemicals.

19. Metabolic Engineering of Synechocystis PCC 6803 for Butanol Production
Sammanfattning : There is an urgent demand for renewable alternatives to fossil fuels since the extraction and utilization cause a series of environmental problems in the world. Thus, the utilization of solar energy has attracted much attention in the last decades since there is excess amount of light on Earth. LÄS MER
20. Silicon Nanowire Based Sensors for Bacterial Tests
Sammanfattning : Rapid and reliable antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) is urgently required to diagnose bacterial infectious diseases and avoid antibiotic misuse, providing valuable information on the efficacy of antibiotic agents and their dosages for treatment. However, the currently employed phenotypic ASTs normally demand the growth of bacteria into colonies, which usually takes more than two days. LÄS MER
