Radacsi, N. (author)Crystallization is one of the oldest separation and product formation techniques that continues to be in use today. Despite its long history, it only started to develop significantly in the past few decades. In this thesis, the application of Process Intensification in crystallization is investigated. Process Intensification is a set of often...doctoral thesis 2012

(author), de Visser, P.C. (author), Noort, D. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Drosocin is a 19-mer, cationic antimicrobial peptide from Drosophila melanogaster. The aim of the study was to examine the antibacterial spectrum of unglycosylated drosocin analogues. Furthermore, the amino acid sequence of DnaK, drosocin's intracellular target, from susceptible species was aligned and studied for sequence homology. From this a...article 2006

(author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)An array of analogues of the cationic antimicrobial peptide drosocin was synthesized containing substitutions of Tyr6 and Ser7 in order to increase the proteolytic stability. Stabilizing the N-terminus with unnatural amino acids increased the serum stability of analogues by almost a factor 30 over an 8 h period. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights...article 2005

Sreeramulu, G. (author), Zhu, Y. (author), Knol, W. (author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author)Kombucha was prepared in a tea broth (0.5% w/v) supplemented with sucrose (10% w/v) by using a commercially available starter culture. The pH decreased steadily from 5 to 2.5 during the fermentation while the weight of the 'tea fungus' and the OD of the tea broth increased through 4 days of the fermentation and remained fairly constant...article 2000

Radiobiological Institute TNO (author), van der Waaij, D. (author), Sturm, C.A. (author)In mice, after a few days of oral treatment with antibiotics which are minimally absorbed, the bacterial fecal flora is eliminated. In the course of such treatment, the bacterial population of the skin becomes drastically reduced. After 9 weeks, cultures from the skin of the back are negative. Following 12 weeks of treatment, about 50% of the...article 1971
