Lopez Garzon, C.S. (author), Straathof, A.J.J. (author)The present invention is in the field of a process for producing an ester, such as a biobased ester, from an aqueous biomass comprising solution, batch wise or continuously, wherein use of raw material is limited and if possible re-used. The present invention is in the field of green technology.patent 2014

Van Leeuwen, B.N.M. (author), Van der Wulp, A.M. (author), Duijnstee, I. (author), Van Maris, A.J.A. (author), Straathof, A.J.J. (author)Isobutene (2-methylpropene) is one of those chemicals for which bio-based production might replace the petrochemical production in the future. Currently, more than 10 million metric tons of isobutene are produced on a yearly basis. Even though bio-based production might also be achieved through chemocatalytic or thermochemical methods, this...journal article 2012

Jin, J. (author), Straathof, A.J.J. (author), Pinkse, M.W.H. (author), Hanefeld, U. (author)A bifunctional hydratase/alcohol dehydrogenase was isolated from the cyclohexanol degrading bacterium Alicycliphilus denitrificans DSMZ 14773. The enzyme catalyzes the addition of water to ?,?-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and the subsequent alcohol oxidation. The purified enzyme showed three subunits in SDS gel, and the gene sequence revealed...journal article 2010

Saric, M. (author), Van der Wielen, L.A.M. (author), Straathof, A.J.J. (author)Irreversible reactions are being applied in enzymatic kinetic resolution to obtain enantiomerically pure compounds from racemic mixtures. Using model calculations for situations without mass transfer limitation, we show that reversible reactions might also be useful for enzymatic kinetic resolution, provided that countercurrent systems are used...journal article 2010
