(promotor) Faculty Applied Sciences Department Biotechnology Date 2010-09-13 Abstract Life sciences will be one of the decisive factors in the 21st century. A major part of this field is the so-called white biotechnology, also known as industrial biotechnology. White biotechnology is an emerging field where bio-chemicals are produced using micro-organisms. However, the production of bio-chemicals is severely inhibited due to toxicity of the product towards the host-organism. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the products from the micro-organisms’ environment. One approach for achieving this is applying so-called in-situ product removal. In this thesis solvent impregnated resins are added to a fermentation broth as an in-situ product removal tool. These particles contain an organic phase able to selectively extract a certain product from an aqueous phase such as fermentation broths.
