BioLPG can be used within a full range of…
Corinne Baumgartner describes how green production values drive Givauden production of flavor and fragrance compounds
Purifying water is one of the great challenges facing society and now biotechnology is being used to improve water purification techniques. This is very important for removing pollution and producing water thst is safe to drink (desperately needed in poorer countries). Aquaporin is a Danish company named after a protein that transports water molecules across…
At our recent workshop at Dechema DTU presented a series of posters that give a good ovedrview of their contributions to ROBOX 1. Oxygen Supply to Biooxidation Reactions Quantification of Glucose Oxidase Reaction Kinetics 2. Stability of Enzymes under Industrial Process Conditions 3. Evaluation of Oxygen Supply Methods for Oxidative Biocatalysis 4. Kinetic Measurements of…
In an interesting preliminary report scientists claim feeding seaweed to cows could slash the amount of climate change-inducing methane emissions from their burps. A small amount of marine algae added to cattle food can reduce methane emissions from cattle gut microbes by as much as 99 per cent. Whilst their early results are yet to…
During the course of ROBOX a number of public deliverables have become available which describe more details. The ones below give an ovderview of the technical work in the ROBOX project- Completion of benchmarking protocol and flowsheets established for the case studies Identification of genes predicted to encode relevant robust BVMOs and oxidases Structural elucidation…
