Boosting plant-Endophyte STability, compatibility and Performance Across ScaleS (BestPass)
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2019,
We need to increase the crop yield while reducing pesticide and use of inorganic fertiliser to meet the challenges of world population growth and climate change. Plant endophytic microorganisms can improve plant yield and enhance plant tolerance to abiotic stress as well as to pathogens under experimental conditions, but these effects are often not sufficiently stable for practical application. Ho ...

Expanding the industrial use of Robust Oxidative Biocatalysts for the conversion and production of alcohols (ROBOX) (ROBOX)
Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2019,
Oxygen functionalities are key functional groups in many of today’s chemicals and materials. The efficient introduction of oxygen-functionalities into raw materials are key chemical transformations in bulk and fine chemicals. Innovative bio-catalytic oxidation routes using molecular oxygen (from air) under benign and mild (pH) conditions such as ambient temperature and pressure can greatly improve ...

Sucrose Synthase as Cost-Effective Mediator of Glycosylation Reactions (SUSY)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
Glycosyl transferases (GT) are extremely efficient biocatalysts that can be used for the synthesis of special carbohydrates and glycoconjugates. Famous examples of such products include human milk oligosaccharides that serve as prebiotics, and glycosides of flavonoids with improved stability and solubility. Unfortunately, the large-scale application of GT has been hampered by their low operational ...

Chemical Manufacturing Methods for the 21st Century Pharmaceutical Industries (CHEM21)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
CHEM21 is a project that will develop a broad based portfolio of sustainable technologies for green chemical intermediate manufacture aimed at the pharmaceutical industry. Initially working with the EFPIA members the collaborators of CHEM21 will analyse a number of projects that are in development to decide which the priorities are for technology development. This analysis will also be used to upd ...

The discovery, development and demonstration of biocatalysts for use in the industrial synthesis of chiral chemicals (KYROBIO)
Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
The objective of KYROBIO project is to broaden the toolbox of single enantiomer chiral chemicals that are produced by industry in Europe using biotechnological routes. The main target is applications of lyase enzymes to selectively synthesize molecules with multiple chiral centres applying enzymatic carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bond formation as the key technical platforms. We will then apply ...

Developing the Next Generation of Biocatalysts for Industrial Chemical Synthesis (BIONEXGEN)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,
BIONEXGEN will develop the next generation of biocatalysts to be used for eco-efficient manufacturing processes in the chemical industry. A collaboration by industrial and academic partners have identified the key technology fields of amine synthesis, polymers from renewable resources, glycoscience and wider oxidase application as four key areas where the next generation of biocatalysts that will ...
