Integrative regulation of major bioenergetic pathways in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-03-16)
Cyanobacterial photosynthetic and respiratory electron transport chains are both located in the thylakoid membrane producing ATP and reducing agent NADPH. The other major cellular reducing equivalent, NADH, is mainly ...
Photosynthetic cyanobacteria as future biotechnological hosts; considerations in regards to metabolite toxicity and cofactor redox balance
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-11-02)
There is an increasing global need for developing new sustainable alternatives and technological solutions for replacing oil‐based products currently in use. In response to this demand, photosynthetic cyanobacteria have ...
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 ...
Postprandial lipid metabolism resulting from heated beef, homogenized and heat treated milk and interesterified palm oil
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-12-05)
Today, although our food is more processed than ever the effects of food processing on dietary lipids and their absorption and postprandial metabolism are not fully understood. The lipid composition of food impacts ...
Acclimation responses of hydrogen producing cyanobacteria
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-09-14)
During recent years, cyanobacteria have been gaining popularity rapidly as a platform for CO2 sequestration and production of a wide range of industrially attractive products. Factors such as simple nutritional requirements, ...
Dynamic regulation of photosynthesis by chloroplast thioredoxin systems
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-08-08)
Oxygenic photosynthesis is sunlight-energized conversion of CO2 into
carbohydrates using electrons extracted from water. It occurs in
cyanobacteria and in their endosymbiotic evolutionary descendants, the
chloroplasts ...
Proteomic investigation of Synechocystis SP. PCC 6803: S/T/Y phosphorylation and response of proteins to bioengineering tools based on the copper-regulated PETJ promoter
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-10-16)
Cyanobacteria are unique prokaryotic organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis. Their ability to transform sunlight and CO2 to sugar, together with the flexibility of metabolism, have made cyanobacteria interesting ...
Ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductases and protein acetylation in the regulation of photosynthesis
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-08-15)
Photosynthesis sustains life on Earth by converting carbon dioxide into organic compounds which can be utilized as an energy source by non-photosynthetic organisms. Photosynthetic light reactions produce NADPH and ATP, the ...
Lateral flow immunoassays with fluorescent reporter technologies
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-02-23)
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are user-friendly diagnostic test devices most commonly known from the home pregnancy tests. Since their appearance in the market in 1980’s, LFAs have become well-established and products have ...
Plant defence and stress acclimation : regulation by protein phosphatase 2A
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-06-08)
Environmental alterations challenge the plant growth and reproduction in nature and in crop fields. Plants harbour acclimatory and defensive mechanisms that become activated under unfavourable conditions to ensure the plant ...
