Our expertise in the field of biodiversity, synthetic biology, fermentation processes and materials
enable us to engineer selected microorganisms to produce a wide range of bio-based products.
We are able to develop bioprocesses for the production of bulk and fine chemicals from
agro-industrial waste and byproducts, from laboratory scale up to pilot plant scale.
There are generally three phases:
Microbial strain development (proof of concept)
- Pathway identification, strain selection, engineering and optimisation of strain robustness
- Optimisation of fermentation growth conditions (fermentation parameters, composition of substrates and culture broths)
Optimisation of the bioprocess (characterisation and optimisation)
- Testing and analysis of the best fermentation technique to use (Batch, Fed-Batch, Continuous culture)
- High cell density fermentation
- Scale-down
Process development and scale-up (scale-up ready conversion system)
- Scale-up
- Bioreactor process simulation and modelling
- Analysis and purification of bioproducts
