Novel high-performance enzymes and micro-organisms for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to bioethanol (NEMO)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2013,
The NEMO project provides novel efficient enzymes and microbes for 2nd generation bioethanol production. It generates through metabolic engineering and mutagenesis & screening approaches robust yeast strains that have a broad substrate range and can (co-)ferment C6 and C5 sugars to ethanol with high productivity (rate and yield), and that are significantly more stress tolerant, i.e. inhibitor, eth ...

Treatment and Disposal of Irradiated Graphite and Other Carbonaceous Waste (CARBOWASTE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2013,
"Gas-Cooled Reactors (GCR), RBMK and some Material Test Reactors (MTR) make use of graphite as moderator of the fuel, structures of the core and/or thermal columns. During operation, the graphite and other carbonaceous materials like carbon brick, pyrocarbon and silicon carbide coatings are contaminated by fission products and neutron activation. These irradiated carbonaceous wastes are problemati ...

Replacement of sulphur dioxide (SO2) in food keeping the SAme qualitY and shelf-life of the products (SO2SAY)
Start date: May 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
Up to today there are many foodstuffs (including beverages and wine) where sulphites are used as antioxidant and preservative agents. Examples for this foodstuff are dried fruits, some kinds of fruit juices, seafood and convenience food (especially containing potatoes). But these sulphites containing agents are in suspicion to cause some damage to the health and they were blamed for some allergy. ...
