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 ...

Use of Microorganisms for Carotenoids Delivery: Next Generation of Probiotics for Cardiovascular Disease (CARODEL)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 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 ...
