Developing a validated technology platform for the application of oxygen dependent enzymes in synthesis and transformation of alcohols (BIOOX)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Currently the aerobic bio-catalytic oxidation reaction is the one that would have the biggest impact on the future uptake of industrial biotechnology in Europe. Chemical oxidation is both hazardous and has high environment impacts. Many oxidative bio-catalytic reactions and transformations have been identified in academic laboratories but only a very small number have been applied by industry to o ...
