In order to reduce CO2 emissions and the use of fossil resources, microbial production platforms offer a vast range of possibilities. Many different compounds and/or precursors can be produced by micro-organisms from renewable resources and their production can be enhanced by means of metabolic engineering.Ethyl acetate is a popular solvent used in...
Over the past decades, bacteriophage research has revealed the abundance of phages in nature, their morphological and genomic diversity, their influence in the regulation of microbial balance in the ecosystem and their impact on the evolution of microbial diversity. Since the 1950s, phages have also played a central role in some of the most signifi...
Aan dit rollenspel nemen deel: een maïsteler, een manager van FrieslandCampina, een verkoper van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen en een actievoerder van Greenpeace. Voor elk van de vier rollen is een informatieblad. Doel is niet te winnen maar samen te leren om voor- en nadelen goed af te wegen. Voorbereidingstijd, duur van het gesprek en de evaluatie in...
Presentatie over regelgeving rondom GG planten, met toelichting.
Currently, fungicides are necessary to protect potato crops against late blight, Phytophthora infestans, one of the world’s most damaging crop pathogens. The introgression of plant resistance genes from wild potato species targeted specifically to the late blight pathogen into susceptible potato varieties may alleviate the environmental impact of c...
Presentation about coexistence of GM and non-GM cultivations, consumers' preference.
The research of Bacterial Cell Factories aims to apply bacteria for production of biobased chemicals from renewable resources. The focus lies on thermophilic Gram-positives. This group of relatively unexplored thermophiles has many relevant characteristics that make them attractive as production organism for green chemicals. Development of genetic ...
