Metabolic Engineering of Central Carbon Metabolism for Production of Isobutanol and other Higher Alcohol Biofuels in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
DownloadFall 2012
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was engineered for production of high-value alcohols including isobutanol and isopentanol. This strategy uses the host’s highly active valine amino acid biosynthetic pathway and diverts its 2-ketoacid intermediate for alcohol synthesis. A 2-ketoacid...

Novel properties of the multifaceted drug phenelzine and its metabolite β-phenylethylidenehydrazine
DownloadFall 2015
Phenelzine is a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor that has been used for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders since the 1960s. In recent years, there has been renewed interest in this drug following reports of its neuroprotective properties in animal models of cerebral ischemia,...

Nutritional Characterization of Wheat Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles in Grower-Finisher Pigs
DownloadFall 2011
Co-product feedstuffs, if properly characterized nutritionally, are an important component to maintain the feed competitiveness of the pork industry. Hence, nutrient digestibility of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) was measured using grower-finisher pigs. In Exp. 1, two methods were...

Price Relationships and Feedstock Supply for a Second-Generation Ethanol Industry in Canada
DownloadFall 2020
There is potential for a second-generation ethanol industry that uses wheat straw as a feedstock to emerge in Western Canada. This thesis presents three analyses that investigate regional and international factors that influence the future success of this industry. The first two analyses...

Fall 2010
Molecules of anthocyanins and quinones possess distinctive electrophilic character, which is demonstrated by their facile reactions with nucleophiles such as sulfite, thiols, amines and water. In food systems, one of their likely targets would be nucleophilic centers in the side chains of amino...

Simultaneous measurement of protein and energy metabolism and application to determine lysine requirements in sows
DownloadSpring 2011
Simultaneous measurements of energy and protein metabolism can provide valuable information about their interactions. Dietary lysine is limiting in typical feedstuffs fed to swine and, therefore, limits protein synthesis. Current recommendations for dietary amino acid and energy intakes may not...

The Influence of High Temperature Pyrolysis Melt and Lignin on Cellulose Pyrolysis Chemistry: A First-principles based Investigation
DownloadFall 2023
Lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis for biofuel production shows potential but is challenged with issues of bio-oil instability and low yield. To address these challenges, a bottom-up approach integrating reaction chemistry and transport within biomass particle during pyrolysis is crucial for...
