Publications of the --------------------- Main research areas
Continuous
cultivation and cell-recycle techniques are used in optimizing microbial
metabolite production processes together with metabolic engineering
techniques. Simulation, modelling and mutation techniques are used in the
systematic change of enzyme properties like stability and catalytic
specificity. The laboratory specializes in production and analysis of rare
sugars, sugar derivatives and carbohydrate modifying enzymes. We have also
initiated the study of novel food production and food protection methods. Research targets The research is
application oriented. Process research concentrates on developing
measurement, sampling and control systems for microbial cultivations and
studying alternative production hosts for recombinant proteins. Protein
engineering aims at developing industrial enzymes with improved temperature
and pH stability, changed pH optima and altered substrate specificity.
Microbial production process research aims at developing new biotechnical
methods for the production of rare sugars like l-ribose, l-arabinose,
l-xylose and sugar alcohols like xylitol and mannitol. We also develop
alternative uses for food process side-streams, methods for preservation of
berries, fruits and vegetables and study truffle cultivation techniques. |
