2. 1. Antifungal properties of dairy propionibacteria

   Author : Helena Lind; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Today global agriculture is facing major challenges. The world's population is growing rapidly and we need to meet the increasing need for food with new strategies, including environmentally sustainable practices. Production must be enhanced with optimised resource utilisation and improved storage and distribution techniques. READ MORE

4. 2. Midkine - a host defence protein

   Author : Sara Nordin; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antimicrobial polypeptides; Midkine; antibacterial; antifungal; innate immunity; epithelial surfaces;

   Abstract : Every day we encounter many potentially harmful microbes in our environment. The epithelial linings constitute an anatomical barrier protecting us and they also produce antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs) that act as a chemical barrier. These AMPs are small and positively charged, killing a broad range of microbes rapidly. READ MORE

5. 3. Antimicrobial materials from cellulose using environmentally friendly techniques

   Author : Anna Ottenhall; Monica Ek; Josefin Illergård; Orlando Rojas; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibacterial; antifungal; cellulosic; mold; bacteria; biobased; bio-based; renewable; insulation; packaging; water treatment; water purification; paper filter; paper; membrane; Antibakteriell; fungicid; mögel; antimögel; pappersfilter; vattenrening; membran; papper; bakterier; cellulosa; förpackning; isolering; förnyelsebar; biobaserade; nya material; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : The transition to a more biobased society introduces both new opportunities and new challenges as we replace nonrenewable materials with renewable alternatives. One important challenge will be to control microbial growth on materials, both to protect the materials from biological degradation and to prevent the spread of infections and toxins that can cause illness.

6. 4. Wheat Gluten -Based Materials and Composites: Extrusion, Casting and Antimicrobial Properties

   Author : Hasan Türe; Mikael Hedenqvist; José-Maria Lagaron; KTH; []
   Keywords : wheat gluten; extrusion; urea; montmorillonite; sol-gel process; hybrid materials; casting; compression moulding; potassium sorbate; antifungal; plasticiser; thermal; mechanical and barrier properties.;

   Abstract : The use of bio-based polymers as packaging materials has gained much attention due to increasing environmental concerns regarding non-biodegradable petroleum-derived plastics. Wheat gluten (WG) is a valuable renewable resource for the production of bio-based materials because of its low price, biodegradability, good film-forming properties and good gas barrier properties under dry conditions.

7. 5. Antimicrobial activity of human seminal plasma and seminal plasma proteins

   Author : Anneli Edström; Infektionsmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; semenogelin; antibacterial peptides; antifungal peptides; seminal plasma; antimicrobial peptides; vaginal pH; beta-microseminoprotein; peptides;

   Abstract : Seminal plasma is semen without the spermatozoa. Human seminal plasma is a complex mixture of secretions from the sex accessory glands, mainly the seminal vesicles and the prostate. Seminal plasma has high protein content and it also contains ions, sugars and low molecular weight components. READ MORE
