The research herein builds on the work of Rojek (2003) and further investigates the bioremediation of NOM wastes. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of selected white-rot fungi and yeast for the biodegradative removal of concentrated NOM from solution. The effectiveness of the white-rot fungus P. chrysosporium ATCC 34541 for the biological degradation of different batches of MIEXTM NOM concentrate and the effects of different characteristics of the NOM on the process and thus the resistance of the NOM to microbial removal were investigated.

The aim of this research was to investigate the formation of hydrogen sulphide for different sewage characteristics and flow rates. An experimental set-up was developed to simulate a section of a gravity sewer pipe, the set-up comprised of a pipe of 2 m long and 155 mm inside diameter, referred to in this thesis as a laboratory sewer pipe. The first stage of the experimental program involved developing a biological growth rich in sulphate-reducing bacteria inside the laboratory sewer pipe using synthetic sewage.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the technological feasibility of biological filtration process for Mn control in Lorne WTP. This thesis consists of eight chapters. Project background and research objectives are described in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 presents an extensive literature review covering the nature of manganese, manganese analytical methods, manganese control methods, the nature of MOB and biological control of Mn in drinking water treatment. The materials and methods used throughout the experimental investigation for this study are described in Chapter 3.

Currently, the ability to convert raw materials from lignocellulose-rich biomass by traditional methods has many limitations. Therefore, the objective of the thesis is to exploit a variety of biocatalysts (hydrolases) from fungi to efficiently convert lignocellulose-rich biomass from ABP into sugars (C5 and C6) capable of fermenting for bioethanol production. The thesis uses "enzyme cocktail" synergistic catalyst to increase the ability of biological transformation.

For 30 years, the field of medical device technology has struggled to identify the specifications for optimal biocompatibility. For the vast majority of devices, clinical experience has eventually confirmed that the best performance is achieved when biocom-patibility is equated with biological safety that is materials are selected on the basis of maximizing bioinertness and minimizing toxicity and irritation.

Our previous studies revealed that the double variant of cytochrome P450 (CYP)105A1, R73V⁄R84A, has a high ability to convert vitamin D3 to its biologically active form, 1a,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1a,25(OH)2D3 ], suggesting the possibility for R73V⁄R84A to produce 1a,25(OH)2D3 . BecauseActinomycetes, including Streptomyces, exhibit properties that have potential advantages in the synthesis of secondary metabolites of industrial and medical importance

Evolution tinkers with odds and ends, but the resulting systems look like circuits designed according to good engineering princi-ples. This talk will discuss several design principles, and how they can be used to make sense of complex transcription and signal-ling networks in cells.

A series of RNA-cleaving or DNA-cleaving DNAzymes have been obtained by in vitro selection. However, engineering an allosteric DNAzyme with dual RNA-cleaving and DNA-cleaving activities is very challenging. We used an in vitro-selected pistol-like (PL) DNAzyme as a DNA scaffold for designing a DNAzyme with dual catalytic activities.

Fluorescent proteins have become essential tools in molecular and biologi-cal applications. Here, we present a novel fluorescent protein isolated from warm water coral, Cyphastrea microphthalma. The protein, which we named vivid Verde fluorescent protein (VFP), matures readily at 37C and emits bright green light.

Background: To be useful for genetic display of foreign peptides a viral coat protein must tolerate peptide insertions without major disruption of subunit folding and capsid assembly. The folding of the coat protein of RNA phage MS2 does not normally tolerate insertions in its AB-loop, but an engineered single-chain dimer readily accepts them as long as they are restricted to one of its two halves.
