Applying NMN+ as non-canonical redox cofactor in Escherichia coli
Product yield is an important parameter that indicates the efficiency of microbial cell factories. The maximum theoretical yield can only be reached... -
Applying NMN+ as non-canonical redox cofactor in Escherichia coli
Applying NMN+ as non-canonical redox cofactor in Escherichia coli - WUR Project Applying NMN+ as non-canonical redox cofactor in Escherichia coli... -
Enzymes in a box: Engineering bacterial microcompartments for biotechnological applications
What if we could generate fuels directly just from Carbon dioxide and sunlight? In fact, the tiny green single celled microalgae are capable of doing... -
Enzymes in a box: Engineering bacterial microcompartments for biotechnological applications
The focus of this project is on metabolic engineering of microbes for the production of ester compounds that can be used as biofuels or... -
Valorization of milk components
The use of industrial fermentations to valorise milk components is relatively new to the Dutch dairy sector. FrieslandCampina and WUR will explore the... -
Evolving ways towards green esters
The focus of this project is on molecular biology methods, specifically enzyme expression and characterisation followed by protein engineering and in... -
Sustainable production of volatile esters
In this project, we aim on producing volatile esters as a bulk product by mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria. Due to the esters volatility a process... -
Metabolic engineering of E. coli for additional energy generation
Currently, some microbial processes used for bulk chemicals production do not compete with petrochemical-based processes because they are not... -
Metabolic engineering of eukaryotic microalgae to improve lipid content
Microalgae accumulate large quantities of lipids under stress conditions, which makes them a valuable feedstock for biotechnological applications. In... -
Green Terpene: Sustainable production of terpenes by redesigning isoprene biosynthesis
Terpenes are a class of molecules naturally produced in plants, but in low quantities. Recent improvements in biotechnological methods made terpene...
