Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are widely used in industrial manufacture of fermented foods and regarded as cell factories for production of pharmaceutical and food products.
Lactococcus lactis, due to its small genome size and simple metabolism, has been considered a model organism for strain design strategies and metabolic engineering.
Metabolic modelling provides a platform to conduct in silico experiments with biotechnological and biomedical applications.

With a fully detailed kinetic model, time-course simulations, response to different input can be predicted and system controllers can be designed.
For L. lactis, the dynamic models for the central carbon metabolism have already been constructed.
However, these models lack our compound of interest and need to be extended.
Provided the topology of pathway and kinetic parameters, a dynamic model that describes the glycolytic pathway in L. lactis is reconstructed using convenience kinetics.

This model is now improved by estimating the parameters using in vivo Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) data fitting.
Sensitivity analysis was performed in the reconstructed model for acetoin and butanediol production which suggests that down expression of the enzyme levels for lactate dehydrogenase, phosphofructokinase, pyruvate dehydrogenase causes a rise in production of acetoin and 2,3-butanediol.
In addition to these enzyme levels, down expression of acetoin transportase and alcohol dehydrogenase levels accounts for enhanced production of 2,3-butanediol.

The reconstructed model can be used as a basis to design metabolic engineering experiments and also to predict the phenotype of the bacterium under different environmental and genetic conditions.
The model can also serve as a starting point to model other LAB for instance Streptococcus pneumoniae.
