Comparison of the methylerythritol phosphate pathway and the isopentenol utilization pathway for astaxanthin production in Escherichia coli
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-01)Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid belonging to the isoprenoid family of compounds. Currently, the most common method of producing astaxanthin is through chemical synthesis and natural production using Haematococcus pluvialis. ... -
Development of genome editing technique and viability assays for Chlorella vulgaris
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-27)Microalgae have significant potential as sustainable bio-factories for the production of high value compounds such as astaxanthin and for the production of commodity chemicals, like biofuels. However, the use of microalgae, ... -
Direct transesterification of microalgae to biodiesel using ionic liquid catalysts
(University of Waterloo, 2020-10-30)Increasing global energy demand coupled with the environmental effects of fossil fuels have, like global warming, reinvigorated the need for the commercialization and development of alternative renewable energy sources such ... -
Dynamic modeling of recirculating aquaculture systems with an integrated application of nonlinear model predictive control and moving horizon estimation
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-30)Growing concerns regarding the sustainability of the aquaculture industry has led to the development of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) where the addition of wastewater treatment units is accompanied by a reduction ... -
Evaluation of Pulsed Xenon UV Lamp on Inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes on Stainless- Steel Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-08)Foodborne diseases remain a major global public health concern, with Listeria monocytogenes posing a significant risk, particularly for immunocompromised individuals. Ensuring food safety and minimizing contamination has ... -
Kinetic characterization and modelling of sequentially entrapped enzymes in 3D-printed PMMA microfluidic reactors for the synthesis of amorphadiene via the isopentenol utilization pathway
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-19)Recent technological developments in the field of additive manufacturing have gained researcher attention as a low cost, high resolution, method for the fabrication of microfluidic reactors. In recent years cascade immobilized ...
