Engineering of Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a broad-spectrum animal vaccine (MycoSynVac)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2015, Date de fin: 31 mars 2020,
Mycoplasmas are the smallest cell wall less, free-living microorganisms. The lack of a cell wall makes them resistant to many of the common antibiotics. Every year, infections caused by Mycoplasmas in poultry, cows, and pigs, result in multimillion euros losses in USA and Europe. Currently, there are vaccines against M hyopneumoniae in pigs and M gallisepticum and M synoviae in poultry. However, t ...

Synthetic Biology for the production of functional peptides (SYNPEPTIDE)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2017,
"Peptides are among the most versatile natural products that nature provides to cater for a broad set of biotechnological applications ranging from antibiotics to personal hygiene. Their diversity comes from a broad variety of posttranslational modifications that is used to provide additional functionality beyond to what is possible with the classic proteinogenic set of 20 amino acids. In SYNPEPTI ...

Synthetic biology – Engaging with New and Emerging Science and Technology in Responsible Governance of the Science and Society Relationship (SYN-ENERGENE)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2013, Date de fin: 30 juin 2017,
Synthetic biology (SynBio) offers huge potential for applications in energy, health and the environment. It also brings with it various challenges such as regulatory issues of biosafety, biosecurity and intellectual property rights, as well as potential environmental and socio-economic risks in developing countries. As yet, however, there is scant public knowledge about the technology. It is thus ...

BACterial Hosts for production of Bioactive phenolics from bERRY fruits (BacHBerry)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,
Plants synthesize a staggering variety of secondary metabolites, and this chemodiversity is a poorly used pool of natural molecules with bioactive properties of importance for applications in the pharma and food industries. BacHBerry focusses on phenolic compounds, a large and diverse class of plant metabolites, which are currently in the spotlight due to their claimed beneficial effects in preven ...

Code-engineered new-to-nature microbial cell factories for novel and safety enhanced bio-production (METACODE)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2015,
The concept of METACODE is to preform genetic code engineering in microbial strains with parallel recruitment of novel bio-orthogonal chemistries for mass production of desired protein/peptide based products. In combination with computational and classical chemical synthetic approaches as well as chemo-informatics, enzyme guided evolution, synthetic metabolism, and directed evolution of microbial ...

Standarization and orthogonalization of the gene expression flow for robust engineering of NTN (new-to-nature) biological properties (ST-FLOW)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2015,
The ST-FLOW Project merges the efforts of 14 leading European research groups for developing material and computational standards that enable the forward-design of prokaryotic systems with a degree of robustness and predictability that is not possible with customary Genetic Engineering. The central issue at stake is the identification and implementation of rules that allow the conversion of given ...
