Accelerated food source location in aging Drosophila

Creator:

Egenriether, Sada

Abstract:

Adequate energy stores are essential for animal survival, and sophisticated neuroendocrine mechanisms evolved to stimulate foraging in response to nutrient deprivation. Food search behavior is usually investigated in young animals, and it is not known how aging alters this behavior. To address this question in Drosophila, we compared the ability...

Partial purification of endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase I of Trichoderma reesei and use in small-scale enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose

Creator:

Pautsch, Lindsay

Abstract:

In order to reduce the cost of lignocellulosic ethanol production, a model was previously developed to predict the amount of fermentable sugar released based on parameters concerning both biomass and enzymes. To validate this model, enzymatic hydrolysis must be carried out using individual purified cellulase enzymes. Endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase I (EG I),...

Impact of lignin on efficiency of small-scale enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass

Creator:

Potapchuk, Angelica

Abstract:

Energy production and consumption is a major environmental and economic concern in the world today. Biofuel produced from lignocellulosic biomass is being explored as an alternative energy source to petroleum. Lignocellulosic biomass is comprised of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. To produce biofuels, lignocellulosic biomass must be broken down to expose...
