Investigation Of Lysozyme Refolding Using Ionic Liquids As Refolding Additives, Harpreet Kaur
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
A rapid and inexpensive method for the production of protein is crucial for the biopharmaceutical industry. The bottleneck in the case of genetically engineered systems lies in the recovery of active and properly refolded proteins from inclusion bodies. The correct refolding of a protein from its denatured state is dependent on several parameters including the concentration of the protein, the refolding buffers utilized, the approach employed and finally the type of refolding additives, if any, used in the process.
In this study, an emerging class of refolding additives, namely, ionic liquids were investigated for the refolding of denatured lysozyme protein. …

Effect Of Plant Hormones On The Production Of Biomass And Lipid In Microalgae, Malihe Mehdizadeh Allaf
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Limited fossil fuel reserves, increasing demand for energy in all parts of the world are some driving forces to look for new sources of transportation fuels. Among different options available, microalgae are currently attracting wide interests as an alternative and renewable fuel source.
Microalgae are single cell photosynthetic organisms that are known for rapid growth and high energy content and as a part of photosynthesis; they produce oil that can be used as a feedstock for biodiesel production. Some algae strains could contain lipid up to 80% of the dry biomass. The amount of lipid production is in direct relation …
