Biomacromolecules from municipal solid bio-waste fractions and fish waste for high added value applications. (DAFIA)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2017, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2020,
Municipal solids waste (MSW) are collected by municipalities and represents more than 500 kg/capita (EU-27 average), 300 million tonnes overall every year in the EU-32. Currently, approximately 50% of this volume is landfilled. More than 1.3 million tonnes of Marine rest raw material (MRRM) are generated in Europe each year. Some countries, such as Norway and Denmark, have traditionally for anima ...

Validating C. elegans healthspan model for better understanding factors causing health and disease, to develop evidence based prevention, diagnostic, therapeutic and other strategies. (Ageing with elegans)
Date du début: 1 mai 2015, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2020,
Healthspan (the life period when one is generally healthy and free from serious disease) depends on nature (genetic make-up) and nurture (environmental influences, from the earliest stages of development throughout life). Genetic studies increasingly reveal mutations and polymorphisms that may affect healthspan. Similarly, claims abound about lifestyle modifications or treatments improving healths ...

Boosting Lignocellulose Biomass Deconstruction with Designer Cellulosomes for Industrial Applications (CellulosomePlus)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2017,
The major bottleneck for plant biomass processing is fiber saccharification: the conversion of cell wall lignocellulosic biomass into fermentable sugars (en route to production of value-added chemicals like second generation biofuels). Some microbes enhance this step by using natural self-assembling proteinaceous nanocatalists known as cellulosomes. CellulosomePlus targets rational design of optim ...

Optimized oxidoreductases for medium and large scale industrial biotransformations (INDOX)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,
The INDOX proposal on industrial oxidoreductases aims to provide relevant industrial case stories to demonstrate the efficacy of optimized biocatalysts on targeted reactions, and to establish the processes scalability, sustainability and cost-efficiency versus chemical conversion processes. The chemical industry (specialties excluded) is not yet embracing enzymatic oxidation reactions to a signifi ...

Biopolymers from syngas fermentation (SYNPOL)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2012, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2016,
"SYNPOL aims to propel the sustainable production of new biopolymers from feedstock. SYNPOL will thereto establish a platform that integrates biopolymer production through modern processing technologies, with bacterial fermentation of syngas, and the pyrolysis of highly complex biowaste (e.g., municipal, commercial, sludge, agricultural). The R&D activities will focus on the integration of innovat ...

Use of Microorganisms for Carotenoids Delivery: Next Generation of Probiotics for Cardiovascular Disease (CARODEL)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
CARODEL aims to valorise the results from the previous FP7 COLORSPORE project, in which initial isolation and characterization work was performed on Bacillus strains producing gastric-stable carotenoids. As the stability in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), antioxidant activity and bioavailability of particular Bacillus carotenoids was shown to be higher than those of common dietary carotenoids, t ...
