German scientists report success in antibiotic research

PR-Gateway, , ,

German Researcher at the DSMZ in Braunschweig develops new method for the derivatization of antibiotics Professor Dr Yvonne Mast, Head of the Department of Bioresources for Bioeconomy and Health Research, and her working group at the Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures have developed a new method for the derivatization of antibiotics. Antibiotics are medicinally important compounds often produced by microorganisms. Such natural substances often have a chemically complex structure and hence can be difficult or even impossible to chemically synthesize or modify by means of semi-synthesis.…

Gender gap in prokaryotes: Only 14.8 % of bacteria and archaea named after women

PR-Gateway, , , ,

DSMZ researchers analyse names of prokaryotes and find almost no improvement since 1947 In microbiology, microorganisms may be named after well-known scientific personalities to honour them. Such eponyms are common in the natural sciences, such as pasteurisation (after the microbiologist Louis Pasteur). In the recently published study „The gender gap in names of prokaryotes honouring persons“, Dr Heike M. Freese and Associate Professor Dr Markus Göker from the Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH, in collaboration with three other researchers, investigated the origin of the names…

Automatic cleaning and recycling of the process water

PR-Gateway, , , , , ,

Surface improvement with mass finishing In conjunction with surface finishing operations for metallic work pieces the new automatic cleaning centrifuge ZA 04 practically eliminates manual setup operations and drastically reduces maintenance work. In addition, the new machine requires about 30 % less space than its predecessor model. In surface finishing operations the process water coming from mass finishing machines is contaminated with fines from the work pieces and the processing media. In addition, it can contain oil and grease carried into the machine by the work pieces. Before the process…
