  1. 1. Abiotic Stress Tolerance. Metabolic and Physiological Effects of Compatible Solutes and Calmodulin on E. coli and Tobacco

    Författare :Jenny Lindberg; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Abiotic stress; compatible solutes; osmotic stress; osmoprotectants; trehalose; calmodulin; E. coli; N. tabacum; genetic engineering; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; Biochemistry; Metabolism; Biokemi; metabolism; glycine betaine;

    Sammanfattning : In their natural habitats, bacteria and plants can be exposed to abiotic stresses such as drought, high salt concentrations and freezing, which are factors limiting their capacity for growth and proliferation. To withstand environmental stresses, they have evolved specific stress responses. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Production of Ectoines and Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate): High Cell-Density Cultivation of Halomonas Boliviensis

    Författare :Hector Guzmán; Bioteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; poly 3-hydroxybutyrate ; hydroxyectoine; ectoine; Halomonas boliviensis; compatible solutes; Fed-batch cultivation;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis reports a study involving the use of Halomonas boliviensis, a moderate halophile, for production of biopolyester poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and compatible solutes ectoine and hydroxyectoine through high cell-density cultivation comprising fed-batch cultures. PHB is a biodegradable plastic produced by bacteria as energy reserve and can potentially be used as a replacement of fossil based plastic. LÄS MER
