Immobilization of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b in a Biolamina Plate Reactor for the Oxidation of Methane to Methanol

Creator:

Fuchs, Brian K.

Abstract:

Methane is a flammable gas that is the main component of natural gas. It is a highly potent greenhouse gas, and accounts for about 20% of greenhouse gas emissions. Methane is routinely flared in many industrial processes without harnessing any of its energy. The environmental impact and wasted energy potential...

Biosynthesis studies and mutasynthesis of myxobacterial secondary metabolites

Creator:

Knight, Eva W.

Abstract:

Myxobacteria represent an interesting class of Gram-negative soil bacteria. These bacteria utilize organic materials from the environment as a food source by the action of their extracellular hydrolytic enzymes. They grow vegetatively in the presence of adequate nutrients. During starvation conditions, however, they aggregate and form multicellular structures called fruiting...
