Novel approaches to a sustainable industrial «white» biotechnology
Cluster BIOCATALYSIS2021 - Research Goals
Biocatalysis reaching beyond conventional Paths
- Novel or optimised enzymes
- Development/intensification of process technology: biocata-lysis and chemocatalysis going hand in hand
- Simplification of production processes: Replacement of multistage chemical synthetic processes by biotechnological processes (fermentation and/or enzymatic synthesis) thus eliminating various stages in production
- Optimisation of product processing and purification as compared to chemical synthetic processes
- Saving raw materials and energy used
- Elimination and/or reduction of by-products and waste products
