Production of biofuels and biodegradable plastics from common waste substrates in engineered Ralstonia eutropha
… and complex carbon sources derived from common waste streams. When experiencing nutrient stress in the presence of high carbons, R. eutropha can store carbon and energy in the form of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), a biodegradable and biocompatible plastic. In this thesis, the native carbon …

Investigations of various agro-wastes as substrates for cultivation of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostratus (Jacq: FR) P. Kumm And Pleorotus pulmonarius (Fr.)(Quel)
… conducted to assess the effects of various agro-waste substrates on the production of oyster mushrooms (P. ostreatus and P. pulmonarius). The substrates utilised in this research were banana pseudo-stems (BP), macadamia husks (MH), macadamia nutshells (MnS) and maize stalks (MS) as control. The …

Semi-biological domino catalysis using acetate- and propionate-producing microbes
… and glycerol, both of which can be derived from waste streams, can be converted into acetate and propionate, respectively, via microbial fermentation. This thesis demonstrates new production routes to acetate and propionate utilising acetate-producing (acetogenic) and propionate-producing …
