Chalmers-Gothenburg # SoDoVi - Essential Vitamins from Sourdough # This years project focused on the metabolic pathways of yeast and lactobacillus to try and produce a sourdough, containing the respective microbe, that produced essential vitamins. We designed this to be done by introducing foreign genome from other species of bacteria. Our hope for the project to help combat the issue of malnutrition concerning vitamin A, and offer an alternative source of B12 besides animal based products. ...

USTC # TAGO–Diet Sugar Tagatose Production with Thermotolerant Yeast # Overconsumption of sugars are partly related to the growing rates of obesity and diabetes. Tagatose, a rare hexose, is almost as sweet as surcose while its caloric content is lower. In our project, we engineerd two different metabolic pathways, one using isomerase and the other using reductase and dehydrogenase, to product tagatose with lactose in Kluyveromyces marxianus, a thermotolerant yeast. ...
