Streptomyces are filamentous bacteria that produce more than two-thirds of known antibiotics.

The increasing resistance of pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics necessitates the discovery of new medicines.

Dit artikel levert een bijdrage aan een groeiend aantal onderzoeken naar radicalisering. Het richt zich specifiek op het onderscheid tussen individuen die radicalisering en daardoor betrokken raken bij terroristisch geweld en individuen die radicaliseren maar niet betrokken raken bij geweld.

The aim of this thesis was to study phage infection in Streptomyces, focused on cell wall-deficient cells. Bacteriophages (or phages in short) attach to the cell wall of bacteria after which they replicate and lyse the host cell.

Of all the mass in our Universe, 80% is thought to consist of a hypothetical and invisible substance called dark matter (DM).

Freshwater is an important resource, but at a great risk of species decline due to habitat loss, pollution and over-exploitation, and invasive alien species.

This thesis focuses on amyloid proteins, a class of proteins that convert into amyloid fibrils.

The Sun and all the stars in the night sky reside in the Milky Way galaxy. In the at-rest reference frame of the Galaxy, typical stars travel with velocities of about 100-200 kilometres per second.

Stars and planets form within cold, dense clouds of gas and dust drifting through interstellar space. Although dust makes up only a small fraction of this material, it plays a key role in shaping the chemical evolution of these environments.

By growing in a soil plants change the biotic and abiotic properties of the soil in which they grow.

The thesis describes experimental steps towards reduction of friction on the macroscopic scale by scenarios of thermo- and superlubricity well-known on the nanoscale.

Innovation plays an essential role in firms' competitiveness and long-term success. It varies from different types, ranging from run-of-the-mill innovation that brings incremental changes to existing technologies to radical innovation that breaks from existing trajectories.

In this thesis, we have studied cell images from two types of cells, including pollen grains and the immune cells, neutrophils. These images are captured using a bright field microscope and a confocal microscope.
