Evaluating the possibilities and limitations of cyanobacterial hosts for future biotechnological applications
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-06-26)
Carbon neutral solutions and circular economy are a relevant part of a sustainable future. Solutions based on photosynthetic cyanobacteria have potential due to several facts: i) Cyanobacteria can produce target compounds ...
Unveiling the secrets of DNA : Improved expression and phage display efficiency of synthetic recombinant binding proteins in E. coli through modulation of codon usage
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-05-15)
Recombinant binding proteins are becoming increasingly important in various applications, including diagnostics, basic research, and therapeutics. Therefore, the demand for recombinant binding proteins will increase in ...
Calcium signalling in the filamentous and nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-08-09)
Cyanobacteria fix atmospheric CO2 into sugars using water and sunlight in a process
called photosynthesis, generating O2 as a by-product. Cyanobacteria not only
contribute substantially to global primary production, but ...
Prostate cancer : the role of extracellular matrix and α2β1 integrin-mediated signaling in stem cell-like cancer cells
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-11-08)
Prostate cancer, with an estimated 1.3 million new cases and 360,000 deaths every year, affects elderly men worldwide. Prostate cancer can either develop slowly without symptoms or aggressively by quickly disseminating the ...
Sensory properties and underlying chemistry of Finnish edible wild mushrooms
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-05-03)
Mushrooms have been part of the human diet for many millennia. They represent an evolutionarily old and large group of edible organisms. Finnish people have a long history of picking and using wild mushrooms for food ...
Rapid diagnostic tests for resource-poor areas
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-11-15)
Rapid diagnostic tests, such as lateral flow immunoassays may enable diagnostics in resource poor areas, thus improving health outcomes by helping to control and eliminate infectious diseases. This thesis focuses on the ...
Regulation of stress induced metabolic rearrangements in plants : from model species to crops
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-12-16)
In nature, plants are exposed to continuous changes in the environment. To ensure their growth and survival, plants have evolved intrincate molecular machinery that allows rapid adjustments in cellular functions in response ...
Cyanobacteria as biocatalysts for the production of volatile hydrocarbons
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-03-29)
The genetic engineering of cyanobacteria is seen as a promising strategy to develop future photosynthetic microbial cell factories capable of generating carbon-based compounds from water, CO2 and solar energy. This synthetic ...
Phenolic compounds from Finnish berry species to enhance food safety
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-09-25)
Food safety is of worldwide importance and in close relation to human daily life and wellbeing. Preservatives are often necessary to ensure the shelf life of food products. Despite the generally proven safety of synthetic ...
Evolution of transport specificity and potassium requirement in membrane pyrophosphatases
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-09-07)
My PhD research project focused on membrane-bound inorganic pyrophosphatases (mPPases). mPPases are integral membrane proteins that hydrolyze pyrophosphate (PPi) and transport H+ and/or Na+ ions across membranes thereby ...
