Marine Microorganisms: Cultivation Methods for Improving their Biotechnological Applications (MACUMBA)
Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2016,
Marine microorganisms form an almost untapped resource of biotechnological potential. However, its use is hindered by the low success rate of isolation of novel microorganisms and often by poor growth efficiency. Hence, the vast majority of marine microorganisms has not been cultivated and is often considered as ‘unculturable’. MaCuMBA aims at improving the isolation rate and growth efficiency of ...

EUROpean multilevel integrated BIOREFinery design for sustainable biomass processing (EuroBioRef)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,
The development and implementation of bio-refinery processes is an absolute necessity and the key to meet the vision towards bio-based economy. The EuroBioRef concept is an integrated, sustainable and diversified bio-refinery involving all biomass value chain stakeholders. The latter will allow large-scale research, testing, optimisation and demonstration of processes in the production of a wide r ...

A Clostridal Biology Network to Facilitate European-wide Medical Countermeasures and Commercial Exploitation (CLOSTNET)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2013,
"There is an urgent need to better understand the basic biology of Clostridium as a prerequisite for both countering the diseases they cause (C.difficile, C.perfringens and C.botulinum), and exploiting their beneficial properties in industry (biofuels by C.acetobutylicum) and medicine (cancer therapy by C.sporogenes). Attainment of this goal is being impeded because: (i) European research efforts ...

Systems Biology as a Driver for Industrial Biotechnology (SYSINBIO)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2011,
"Metabolic engineering is an applied science focusing on developing new cell factories or improving existing ones. Metabolic engineering is an enabling science, and distinguishes itself from applied genetic engineering by the use of advanced analytical tools for identification of appropriate targets for genetic modifications and the use of mathematical models to perform in silico design of optimiz ...
