Blöbaum, Luisa (author), Haringa, C. (author), Grünberger, Alexander (author)Bioprocesses are scaled up for the production of large product quantities. With larger fermenter volumes, mixing becomes increasingly inefficient and environmental gradients get more prominent than in smaller scales. Environmental gradients have an impact on the microorganism's metabolism, which makes the prediction of large-scale performance...review 2023

Stouten, G.R. (author)Quickly, the show is about the start. Date: 3.5 thousand million years ago, location: planet Earth, event: life. Naturally, life is starting small, even microscopically tiny. Life in the form of microorganisms endures eons of time in which the world changes. They survived, failed, adapted, thrived, and they actually changed the world. They have...doctoral thesis 2021

(author)All known facultatively fermentative yeasts require molecular oxygen for growth. Only in a small number of yeast species, these requirements can be circumvented by supplementation of known anaerobic growth factors such as nicotinate, sterols and unsaturated fatty acids. Biosynthetic oxygen requirements of yeasts are typically small and,...journal article 2021

Kheybari, Siamak (author), Javdanmehr, Mahsa (author), Rezaie, Fariba Mahdi (author), Rezaei, J. (author)The purpose of this paper is to streamline the supply of corn, one of the key ingredients in the production of bioethanol. Using a comprehensive sustainable framework of criteria (including social, economic, and environmental dimensions), the potential locations of corn cultivation in Iran are examined from a multi-criteria decision analysis...journal article 2021

Rabl, Vincent (author)This thesis compares the state of the cultivated meat (CM) industry in the USA and Europe. To do so, extensive desk-research was conducted, summarising existing data, and 21 interviews with CM experts were held. The result is an analysis comprised of both quantitative and qualitative data. In this thesis, the CM industry was understood as...master thesis 2020

Pol, Lucas (author)The project named production biospheres created a process design aimed on the adaptive reuse of the Plots In The Woods site on the Hembrug terrain near Zaandam. The landscape and urban design for the site is based on methods used by landscape architects and ecologists based on the three terms cultivate, stage and set up, not just creating. The...master thesis 2020

Valk, L.C. (author), Luttik, M.A.H. (author), de Ram, C. (author), Pabst, M. (author), van den Broek, M.A. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Pronk, J.T. (author)D-galacturonate, a key constituent of pectin, is a ubiquitous monomer in plant biomass. Anaerobic, fermentative conversion of D-galacturonate is therefore relevant in natural environments as well as in microbial processes for microbial conversion of pectin-containing agricultural residues. In currently known microorganisms that anaerobically...journal article 2020

Schuit, David (author)Indoor cultivation by use of climate-cells provides a higher consistency, quality and more reliable method of producing fruits and vegetables in comparison to greenhouse cultivation. These aspects become increasingly important as we face the challenges brought by higher populations and climate change. However, currently the costs of indoor food...master thesis 2019

Perera-Hammond, Sara (author)Since the disturbance of the civil wars from 1991-1996 a multiplicity of ruined, abandoned and contested landscapes can be found in the city of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Defining those spaces today implies not only thinking of the violent circumstances that shaped them, but also of the slow but persistent transformation caused by neglect...master thesis 2019

Athanasiou, Antonis (author)The thesis explores design methods to integrate social-ecological and morphological relationships of the<br/>peri-urban areas into one network by using existing altered systems on site. The course of the research is mainly focused on the questionable relation of these in-between landscapes with the urban and rural realm and their future...master thesis 2018

Dorsman, eli (author)This projects proposes a semi-institutional building for food production and culture in Bogota, to alleviate the pressure on agricultural land in Colombia as well as to give a close look to one of the answers to important challenges surrounding food today (hunger, resilience, refugees, climate change, territorial conflicts). The project is based...master thesis 2017

Suarez-Mendez, C.A. (author), Sousa, A. (author), Heijnen, J.J. (author), Wahl, S.A. (author)Microorganisms are constantly exposed to rapidly changing conditions, under natural as well as industrial production scale environments, especially due to large-scale substrate mixing limitations. In this work, we present an experimental approach based on a dynamic feast/famine regime (400 s) that leads to repetitive cycles with moderate changes...journal article 2014

August, K. (author)In the aftermath of a normalized Foucaultian world with an all encompassing web of biopower, one remaining hope is to cultivate nimbleness. Nimbleness is an embodied aesthetic sensitivity to the material presence. Cultivating nimbleness is a particular style of cultivation; it is to willfully gather together one’s self in the wake of a formative...doctoral thesis 2013

Knijnenburg, T.A. (author)Exactly how an organism adapts its transcriptional program in response to intra- and extracellular signals remains elusive. Development of computational approaches that use the large amounts of diverse intracellular data to unravel the cell's transcriptional program is one of today's main challenges in bioinformatics research.
