1. Behaviour and metabolic rates of brown trout and Atlantic salmon : Influence of food, environment and social interactions
Sammanfattning : For Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (Salmo trutta), the decision to migrate or when to migrate is believed to be influenced by the individual’s metabolic rate (MR) relative its food intake. As MR was expected to be related to behaviour, the potential links between behaviour and metabolic costs was studied. LÄS MER
2. Metabolic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for polyhydroxybutyrate production
Sammanfattning : Establishing industrial biotechnology for the production of chemical compounds from the biosynthetic pathway has received a significant boost with the implementation of metabolic engineering. At present, metabolic engineering in Saccharomyces cerevisiae gains significant advantages of integration of knowledge acquired through a long history of use and data acquisition from novel –omics technologies hence enabling the development of a tailor-made S.

3. Caloramator Boliviensis, a New Thermoanaerobe with Interesting Metabolic Properties
Sammanfattning : A novel ethanol-producing thermoanaerobe Caloramator boliviensis 45BT (=DSM 22065T, =CCUG 57396T) was isolated from a hot spring of the Bolivian highlands. C. LÄS MER
4. Causes and consequences of individual variation in energy turnover rates
Sammanfattning : Individual energy turnover rates can vary remarkably, even within a species. In this thesis I study the causes and consequences of this pronounced variation and show that individual energy turnover rates can be affected by a large number of factors. LÄS MER
5. Adaptations and constraints associated with autotrophy in microbial metabolism
Sammanfattning : Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities are driving climate change, but the pending crisis could be mitigated by a circular carbon economy where released CO2 is recycled into commodity chemicals. Autotrophic microbes can make a contribution by producing chemicals, such as biofuels, from CO2 and renewable energy. LÄS MER
