Abstract:
This thesis addresses the need for environmentally and socially responsible sources of energy. Biofuels, made from organic matter, have recently become a viable alternative to petroleum-based fossil fuel. Sugar and starch make up the majority of feedstock used in biofuel production as it is easily digested. However, the use of these feedstocks is problematic as they consume resources with negative implications. By using a bacterium able to utilise five and six carbon sugars, such as the thermophile Geobacillus thermoglucosidans, organic lignocellulosic waste material can be used as a feedstock

Abstract:
The genomes of diverse organisms are predicted to contain 20 – 30% membrane protein encoding genes and more than half of all therapeutics target membrane proteins. However, only 2% of crystal structures deposited in the protein data bank represent integral membrane proteins. This reflects the difficulties in studying them using standard biochemical and crystallographic methods. The first problem frequently encountered when investigating membrane proteins is their low natural abundance, which is insufficient for biochemical and structural studies.

In general, we have no clear sense of how to build knowledge via replication, particularly given the practical realities of our research field.

Abstract:
In the Paris Agreement from 2015, nations agreed to limit the effects of global warming to well below 2°C. To be able to reach those goals, cheap, abundant and carbon neutral energy alternatives needs to be developed.

Due to their capacity for photosynthesis, metabolic engineering of cyanobacteria can reroute the carbon dioxide they fix from the atmosphere into valuable products, thereby converting them into solar powered cell factories.
