Boosting Lignocellulose Biomass Deconstruction with Designer Cellulosomes for Industrial Applications (CellulosomePlus)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 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 ...

Integration of Bio-Conversion and Separation Technology for the production and application of platform chemicals from 2nd generation biomass (BIOCONSEPT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
BioConSepT aims to demonstrate the technically feasibility of White Biotech processes for the conversion of 2nd generation biomass into platform chemicals, which are 30% cheaper and 30% more sustainable than existing chemical routes or 1st generation processes. BioConSepT uses lignocellulose and non-edible oils & fats as cheap, abundantly available feedstocks, which cannot be used as food. The ma ...
