Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a fermentation medium and a fermentation method using said fermentation medium wherein the fermentation medium comprising a basal medium and a chelating agent having the formula (I) R1—CH(COOX1)—N(CH2COOX1)2, wherein R1 is selected from hydrogen, linear or branched C1-C4-alkyl, phenyl, benzyl, CH2OH, and CH2CH2COOX1, X1 is (MxH1-x), M being a monovalent cation, preferably being selected from ammonium or alkali metal or combinations of at least two of the foregoing, x is in the range of from zero to 1, wherein x is an average value.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to repetitive self-assembling precursor proteins, nucleic acid sequences and expression constructs encoding the same, and to methods for recombinant production of peptides using such precursor proteins.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing, in a pharmaceutical carrier, a peptide comprising at least one sequence motif of the following general formula (I) Hel1 - HB - Hel2. The invention also relates to the use and production of said pharmaceutical compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for cultivating a nitrile hydratase producing microorganism, compositions for cultivating a nitrile hydratase producing microorganism, and use of compositions comprising a saccharide and an organic acid for cultivating a nitrile hydratase producing microorganism. The composition provided in and to be employed in context with the present invention is particularly suitable for inducing both, growth and nitrile hydratase production of corresponding microorganisms.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of an enzyme preparation which catalyzes the degradation of formaldehyde for reducing the formaldehyde content in a formaldehyde-containing formulation. In a preferred embodiment, the enzyme preparation contains a formaldehyde dismutase from a Pseudomonas putida strain. Further, the invention refers to a process for reducing the formal dehyde content in cross-linking agents for textile finishing or in polymer dispersions used, e.g. in construction chemistry. Further the invention relates to the use of an enzyme preparation which catalyzes the degradation of aldehydes for reducing the formaldehyde content in an aldehyde-containing formulation. Furthermore, the invention relates to a novel variant of the formaldehyde dismutase from Pseudomonas putida.
