Biochemical investigation of catalysis by lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases
Loose, Jennifer Sarah Maria (PhD Thesis;2016:69, Doctoral thesis, 2018-05-04)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes that catalyze the oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds in the presence of dioxygen and an external electron donor. Currently, these enzymes are ... -
Discovery and characterization of bacterial enzymes for processing of lignocellulosic biomass
Jensen, Marianne Slang (PhD Thesis;2019:62, Doctoral thesis, 2019)Utilization of non-edible biomass as a source of renewable carbon can assist the transition to a sustainable bioeconomy. Such biomass includes non-edible plant materials commonly referred to as lignocellulose. Lignocellulose ... -
Discovery and characterization of cellulose-active lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases
Forsberg, Zarah Kristina (PhD Thesis;2014:62, Doctoral thesis, 2014)The efficient depolymerization of lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable sugars by enzymatic hydrolysis is a key step in the transition towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable bio-economy. However, the ... -
Discovery and characterization of enzymes acting on chitin
Tuveng, Tina Rise (PhD Thesis;2017:71, Doctoral thesis, 2017)In the shift from a fossil-based to a bio-based economy, exploration of renewable recourses is needed. Chitin is considered the second most abundant polysaccharide on Earth, after cellulose, and its water-soluble derivatives ... -
The farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) skin-mucus microbiome : bacterial diversity, mucus degrading potential and putative virulence factors
Minniti, Giusi (PhD Thesis;2018:34, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Norway is the main producer and exporter of Atlantic salmon worldwide, representing one of the pillars of the Norwegian economy. Today, about 1.2 million tons of salmonids are produced in Norway and a five-fold increase ... -
Light-driven lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO)-catalyzed solubilization of polysaccharides
Kommedal, Eirik Garpestad (PhD Thesis;2022:38, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are a recently discovered family of enzymes that catalyze oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds in insoluble polysaccharides at a liquid-solid interface. These enzymes are ... -
Studies of molecular determinants of virulence in Aliivibrio salmonicida and Vibrio anguillarum
Skåne, Anna (PhD Thesis;2021:58, Doctoral thesis, 2021)The arsenal of virulence factors possessed by a bacterium can determine its ability to infect the host and cause disease. Chitinases and chitin-active lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) have been indicated to ...
