Thesis (MScEng (Process Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.<br>The abundance of alkane by-products formed in South Africa presents a feedstock opportunity for the production of a wide range of commercially important products, such as long-chain dioic acids and alcohols. These compounds are formed as intermediates through the biological conversion of alkanes, a route which is particularly attractive when compared with chemical conversion due to its operation under milder process conditions. Furthermore, advances in genetic manipulation, which enable the accumulation of a rang

Abstract:
Cette thèse a pour objet l'étude de la dernière étape de la biosynthèse de la biotine, i. E. La bioconversion déthiobiotine-biotine. Un intermédiaire de type thiol primaire est envisagé; il s'agit ici de vérifier si ce thiol est transformé en biotine selon la même stéréochimie que la déthiobiotine. Une synthèse de ce thiol deutere stereospecifiquement a donc été mise au point. Dans un premier tems, la stratégie de la synthèse et l'introduction du deuterium sont décrites. L'acyne correspondant à la chaine carbonée du thiol est synthétisé à partir du cyclohexene et l'on envisage de construire le

Abstract:
Fundamental processes involved in the microbial degradation of coal and its derivatives have been well investigated and documented over the past two decades. However, limited progress in industrial application has been identified as bottleneck in further active development of the field. The sporadic and unanticipated growth of Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda grass) has been observed on the surface of some coal dumps in the Witbank coal mining area of South Africa. Preliminary investigations showed the formation of a humic soil-like material from the breakdown of hard coal in the root zone of these p

Abstract:
Notre objectif était d’identifier des cytochromes P450 capables d’oxygéner des mono et sesquiterpènes, pour produire des molécules aux propriétés organoleptiques intéressantes labellisés « naturelles » par l’industrie des arômes et du parfum.Nous avons identifié 7 couples P450-substrat catalysant une conversion in vitro supérieure ≥ 45 % et/ou formant un produit attendu. Les quantités de produit obtenu par bioconversion dans la levure restent insuffisantes pour un procédé industriel. Les facteurs limitants ont été identifiés dans le cas du valencène comme : 1) la toxicité induite par les produ

Abstract:
La pollution des eaux superficielles et souterraines par des composés organiques est bien connue comme une préoccupation majeure de l'environnement dans de nombreux pays. Si les polluants prioritaires sont actuellement surveillés par la directive cadre européenne sur l'eau, il est désormais urgent de prendre en considération les nouveaux polluants dérivés de principes actifs des produits pharmaceutiques et d'identifier leurs produits de transformation à risque. Ce travail de thèse propose une étude globale sur l'état et l'avenir des produis pharmaceutiques dans l'environnement, sur l'exemple d
