  1. 16. Environmental pollutants and the reproductive system in birds : Developmental effects of estrogenic compounds

    Författare :Cecilia Berg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Avian embryo; test system; xeno-estrogen; endocrine disruption; reproductive organ differentiation; oviduct; testis; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; Ecotoxicology; ekotoxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : A number of environmental pollutants have been shown to mimick the action of the female sex hormone estrogen and are, therefore, suspected to be responsible for reproductive abnormalities seen in wildlife. Test systems which can be used in hazard and risk assessment of chemicals with estrogenic effects are consequently needed. LÄS MER

  3. 17. On the way of making plants smell like moths - a synthetic biology approach

    Författare :Bao-Jian Ding; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; moth pheromone; transcriptome; fatty acyl desaturase; fatty acyl reductase; acetyltransferase; chain shortening; chain elongation; heterologous expression; synthetic biology; plant expression;

    Sammanfattning : Moth caterpillars are major agricultural pests in many parts of the world. In general female moths attract male mates with their pheromone over long distance. Most of the described moth pheromones belong to the same class of chemical compounds, fatty acid derivatives that are produced de novo in the pheromone gland. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Promoter Engineering for Cyanobacteria : An Essential Step

    Författare :Hsin-Ho Huang; Peter Lindblad; James Golden; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; synthetic biology; cyanobacteria; promoter; engineering; TetR; DNA breathing dynamics; transcription; regulation;

    Sammanfattning : Synthetic biology views a complex biological system as an ensemble in the hierarchy of parts, devices, systems, and networks. The practice of using engineering rules such as decoupling and standardization to understand, predict, and re-build novel biological functions from model-driven designed genetic circuits is emphasized.

  5. 19. Engineering Transcriptional Systems for Cyanobacterial Biotechnology

    Författare :Daniel Camsund; Peter Lindblad; Brian Pfleger; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cyanobacteria; Synthetic biology; promoters; transcription; LacI; Gal4; Light-regulation; Chemistry with specialization in Microbial Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot mikrobiell kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Cyanobacteria are solar-powered cell factories that can be engineered to supply us with renewable fuels and chemicals. To do so robust and well-working biological parts and tools are necessary. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Improving flavonoid production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using synthetic biology tools

    Författare :Dany Liu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; metabolic engineering; biosensors; in vivo directed evolution; enzyme scaffolding; yeast;

    Sammanfattning : Flavonoids are plant secondary metabolites and represent one of the largest classes of natural products. Due to their health-beneficial properties, they have found potential applications in foods, beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Currently, their production is based on extraction from plant material. LÄS MER
