Bacteriophages as antimicrobial agents against bacterial contaminants in yeast fermentation processes
DownloadFall 2013
Bacterial contaminants are ubiquitous in yeast fermentation processes for biofuel production. In general, they compete with yeasts for nutrients, reducing overall production yield. The present project investigates the application of bacteriophages (phages), viruses infecting and killing...

Fall 2009
This study develops the water requirement factors for different thermo-chemical and biochemical biomass conversion pathways for production of biofuels and biopower. Twelve biomass conversion pathways based on six biomass feedstocks are assessed. For all these pathways integrated water and...

Growth of oleaginous yeasts on mixed C5 and C6 sugar streams to generate lipid feedstocks for renewable hydrocarbon production
DownloadSpring 2022
Microbial lipids are a promising feedstock to produce renewable fuels. Lignocellulosic feedstocks can provide multiple carbon sources for microbial growth, such as hexoses (C6) and pentoses (C5). Oleaginous yeasts can convert C5 and C6 sugars to microbial lipids that can be further processed into...

Maternal Essential Fatty Acid Status During Pregnancy and Postpartum in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) Study and Infant Outcomes
DownloadSpring 2017
Docosahexaenoic (DHA) and arachidonic (AA) acids are essential fatty acids found in breast milk and are important for the infant’s brain development and cognitive functions such as those that regulate sleep and crying. The overall goal of this research was to use a large maternal infant cohort,...

Metabolic Engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the Production of Isopentenol, a Valuable Biochemical and Potential Biofuel
DownloadFall 2015
The rising concern about limited fossil fuel resources and the environmental factors associated with it has motivated the development of alternative fuels. Ethanol is currently the primary substitute to gasoline, however the intrinsic properties of ethanol have limited its ability to fully...

Modeling and Optimization of Wastewater Treatment and Lipid Production using a Mixed-Culture of Algae and Bacteria in a High Rate Algal Pond
DownloadSpring 2019
Biofuels are being considered as an alternative source of energy produced from fossil fuels. Among various biological resources, microalgae have captured lots of attention in recent years due to their potential use as renewable energy source for biofuel production since they offer high growth...

Fall 2010
This study experimentally evaluated wheat straw slurry pipelines. Tests were conducted to determine the particle properties of the biomass mixed in water over time. The saturated particle density of 1,060kg/m3 was reached after 24 hours, while the saturated moisture contents of 78.5% and 79.5%...

Using biosolids as a water source in non-catalytic hydrolysis reactions for biofuel production
DownloadFall 2017
Biosolids are residues produced from the treatment of municipal sludge and are rich in organic materials. The growing volume of biosolids and concerns over microbial safety highlight the difficulties associated with biosolids disposal. Canada generates about 660,000 dry tons of biosolids...
