A Practical Solution for 77 K Fluorescence Measurements Based on LED Excitation and CCD Array Detector
Lamb, Jacob Joseph; Forfang, Kristin; Hohmann-Marriott, Martin Frank (Journal article, 2015)The fluorescence emission spectrum of photosynthetic microorganisms at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) provides important insights into the organization of the photosynthetic machinery of bacteria and eukaryotes, which ... -
A Review of the Role of Critical Parameters in the Design and Operation of Biogas Production Plants
Sarker, Shiplu; Lamb, Jacob Joseph; Hjelme, Dag Roar; Lien, Kristian Myklebust (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Many operating parameters, individually or together, may influence the performance of anaerobic digestion towards biogas or digestate yield and quality maximization. The most preferred method of optimizing an anaerobic ... -
Carbohydrate Yield and Biomethane Potential from Enzymatically Hydrolysed Saccharina latissima and Its Industrial Potential
Lamb, Jacob Joseph; Hjelme, Dag Roar; Lien, Kristian Myklebust (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The demand for fuel for utilisation of machinery and transport has culminated in large amounts of fossil fuel usage in the last century. The environmental dangers attached with the usage of fossil fuels have created a large ... -
Characterization of Bacterial Electron Transport to Extracellular Electron Acceptors
Lamb, Jacob Joseph (Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:186, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Photosynthesis in the cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 requires both manganese and a large quantity of iron to maintain its electron transport chain and oxygen evolution; however, in most natural cyanobacterial ... -
Chlorophyll fluorescence emission spectroscopy of oxygenic organisms at 77 K
Lamb, Jacob Joseph; Røkke, Gunvor; Hohmann-Marriott, Martin Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Photosynthetic fluorescence emission spectra measurement at the temperature of 77 K (–196°C) is an often-used technique in photosynthesis research. At low temperature, biochemical and physiological processes that modulate ... -
Digitalization of colourimetric sensor arrays for volatile fatty acid detection in anaerobic digestion
Lamb, Jacob Joseph; Lien, Kristian Myklebust; Hjelme, Dag Roar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)During the process of converting the organic matter into methane, many volatile fatty acids (VFAs) are produced during acidogenesis and acetogenesis phases of the process. The main VFAs of interest are acetic acid, butyric ... -
Effect of power ultrasound and Fenton reagents on the biomethane potential from steam-exploded birchwood
Lamb, Jacob Joseph; Islam, Md Hujjatul; Hjelme, Dag Roar; Pollet, Bruno; Lien, Kristian Myklebust (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The global demand for non-fossil energy sources is increasing rapidly. As a result, biogas presents a suitable alternative; however, first generation biofuels (e.g., sugar cane) potentially impact food crops globally. ... -
Functional Role of PilA in Iron Acquisition in the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
Lamb, Jacob Joseph; Hill, Ryan; Eaton-Rye, Julian J.; Hohmann-Marriott, Martin Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Cyanobacteria require large quantities of iron to maintain their photosynthetic machinery; however, in most environments iron is present in the form of insoluble iron oxides. Whether cyanobacteria can utilize these sources ... -
Manganese acquisition is facilitated by PilA in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
Hohmann-Marriott, Martin Frank; Lamb, Jacob Joseph (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Manganese is an essential element required by cyanobacteria, as it is an essential part of the oxygen-evolving center of photosystem II. In the presence of atmospheric oxygen, manganese is present as manganese oxides, which ... -
Overview of recent progress towards in-situ biogas upgradation techniques
Sarker, Shiplu; Lamb, Jacob Joseph; Hjelme, Dag Roar; Lien, Kristian Myklebust (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Biogas, as derived from the anaerobic digestion process, offers a versatile possibility of renewable and sustainable energy usage. When enriched, upgraded biogas can yield high levels of biomethane, allowing its use as an ... -
Perspectives of optical colourimetric sensors for anaerobic digestion
Lamb, Jacob Joseph; Bernard, Olivier; Sarker, Shiplu; Lien, Kristian Myklebust; Hjelme, Dag Roar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Although biogas is not a new approach to producing renewable fuel, it could further be developed to improve its potential as an alternative energy source. To achieve this, vast improvements in the efficiency and cost of ... -
