General information.
The know-how contains a methodology for production of innovative and efficient antimicrobial peptide (AMP) R10. This peptide, serving as a highly effective pharmaceutical base, can be utilized successfully in treating skin and soft tissue infections as an alternative to conventional antibiotics. This becomes particularly crucial due to the rising resistance of infectious agents, specifically pathogens of the ESKAPE group. The production methodology involves utilizing the E. coli BL21 DE3 bacterial culture as a producer.
In comparison to existing antibiotics in this class on the market, the peptide R10 demonstrates an increased efficacy in inhibiting the growth of ESKAPE pathogens. Depending on the species, this inhibition occurs within the concentration range of 2-16 µk/ml. Notably, this range signifies that the peptide R10 is 5-10 times more effective than, for instance, the commercially available preparation Oligo 10, thus requiring lower R10 concentrations. Furthermore, the R10 exhibits relatively low cytotoxicity against a mammalian skin cell model at 90 µk/ml. The developed production scaling methodology enables the achievement of moderately high productivity of R10 production, yielding 0.93 mg of the R10 from 1 g of biomass of the initial bacteria.

General information.
In an equipment, which is designed for growing crystals under electromagnetic levitation conditions, the crystal growing area is completely isolated from the linear feed drive motors; the link between them is realized by hydraulic pipelines. In order to achieve a smoother movement of the molten material volume relative to the growing crystal, vibrations are dampened by moving the molten material volume (including the electromagnetic levitation coil and its power source) by a hydraulic movement system. The reduced amplitude of vibrations (at least by half) in the crystallization zone during the crystal growth process reduces the concentration of defects and crystal lattice dislocations in the grown crystals, significantly increasing the quality of the crystals grown in the electromagnetic levitation process within the classic crystal growth speed range (0.5 – 500 mm/h).
The system can be used not only to reduce the impact of vibrations in the crystal growth process, but also for precise, smooth, vibration-free movement of objects weighing several hundred kilograms for other purposes as well.
