Optimized esterase biocatalysts for cost-effective industrial production (OPTIBIOCAT)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
"OPTIBIOCAT is a 48 months project aimed at developing biocatalysts based on feruloyl esterases (FAEs) and glucuronoyl esterases (GEs) for production of phenolic fatty- and sugar- esters with antioxidant activity for cosmetic industry, expanding the number/type of industrial biotransformations. Selected FAEs and GEs available within the consortium will be improved for their thermo- and solvent- re ...

A systematic analysis of parasite metabolism - from metabolism to intervention (ParaMet)
Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,
Parasites exact a devastating toll on health and economic productivity, infecting man and also domestic livestock. Drugs used to combat parasitic diseases are deficient in many ways and new, better drugs are needed to establish sustainable means to combat diseases caused by protozoan parasites that include malaria, trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis in man, and coccidiosis among others in animals. ...

Products from methanol by synthetic cell factories (PROMYSE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
There is a high societal need for a sustainable production of key chemistry, food and health care compounds. Microbial cell factories are logical production systems, but up to now they use sugars and other food derived raw materials as substrates. Sugars originating from plants demand cultivable land which is more and more needed for human nutrition. Methanol - with a worldwide production capacity ...

Alternative Fuels and Biofuels for Aircraft Development (ALFA-BIRD)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,
"ALFA-BIRD aims at developing the use of alternative fuels in aeronautics. In a context where the price of oil is increasing and with impact of fossil fuels on climate change, the sustainable growth of the civil aviation is conditioned by the respect of the environment. In this context, using biofuels and alternative fuels in aeronautics is a great challenge, since the operational constraints (e.g ...
