New week, new publication! ?? Excited to share our latest work in Organic Process Research & Development: "Assessing the Industrial Edge of the Lipase-Mediated Oxidation of 2,5-Diformylfuran to 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid: Rotating Bed Reactors, an 'Acyl-Donor-Free' Oxidation Concept, and Environmental Aspects." Our study explores innovative, sustainable methods for FDCA production—a key building block for eco-friendly polymers. Congratulations to Milica Mili?, Guillem Vernet Armengol, Hai Yen Le, Ningning Zhang, Emil A. Bystr?m, Pablo Domínguez de María, and Selin Kara for this achievement! https://lnkd.in/eiCYtY9V
关于我们
The research of the ‘Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing’ is aimed at environmentally benign and highly productive biotransformations by combining biotechnology, chemistry and reaction engineering in a multi-disciplinary platform. Our focus is the optimization of enzymatic conversions by (i) substrate-, (ii) biocatalyst-, (iii) medium-, and (iv) reaction engineering. Therefore, alternative reaction routes, especially meant for substrate engineering, are explored to reduce the environmental impact compared to established biotransformations. What medium engineering concerns, the evaluation of e.g. the use of two-liquid phase systems, neat organic solvents or solvent-free systems, and deep-eutectic-solvents (DES) is one of our targets to enhance the productivity of the biocatalytic reactions. Furthermore, to meet the needs of practical- and economical biotransformations, biocatalyst engineering, e.g. enzyme immobilization and modification, are explored to establish robust biocatalysts in an industrially relevant environment i.e. high substrate and product loadings, and the use of organic solvents. The optimized reaction conditions, including all above given aspects, will be combined with reaction engineering, leading to the development of improved reactor concepts running in batch-, fed-batch-, or in continuous mode. Our research group offers challenging and novel projects for B.Sc. and M.Sc. students aiming for a career in industrial biotechnology (white biotechnology). You are warmly invited to visit us to get an impression of our group and the research we perform.

DESMOL2PRO: CUSTOMIZED DEEP EUTECTIC SOLVENTS FOR BIOCATALYSIS A circular approach from molecular interactions to process parameters Chemical industries are currently facing the challenging transition from the classic manufacture of petroleum-based chemicals to the sustainable synthesis of bio-based products in the spirit of a circular bioeconomy. With their outstanding efficiency, selectivity, and very mild reaction conditions, enzymes play an increasing role in the industry. With these strengths, biocatalysis has found its place among the complementary catalytic methods of today’s green chemistry. Eight researchers from Germany and Austria have joined forces within the framework of Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation Research Unit 5730 (Grant no: 528814716) to investigate the use of application-specific tailored solvents to boost the sustainability and efficiency of enzymatic processes.

Our team has been busy and has now published the second HorizonDECADES video. While the first video was envisioned as an introduction to the DECADES consortium, in this second video we had three main objectives: 1. To communicate our research objectives in a more focused manner. 2. To focus on the doctoral candidates. 3. To evoke the team spirit that has risen within the consortium. Do you think we managed to show off our students as much as they deserve? Secondly, we are putting emphasis on “how” we aim to achieve our vision by using different biocatalytic methods and materials. Bumbuku Creatives created the script and the scenes of the animation accordingly and we think they nailed it again! Let us know if you love the video as much as we do!? Big thank you to Bumbuku Creatives for this great animation! This is a present from all of us to all of you! If you want to talk to the involved PIs and Doctoral candidates you can meet us all at the #IBPRO2025 symposium taking place in Aarhus (and worldwide online) from 26th-28th of March ! Find out more about IBPRO2025 here: https://lnkd.in/dJ_A28JE PhD candidates: Katerina Margariti, Ariel T., Marina Grgi?, Katarína Kav?iaková, Chiara Falcini; Francesco Napoletano, Andrea Puglisi, Daniel Alonzo Durante Salmerón, Ivan Perkovi? and Johannes Eder #animation #whatwedo #biocatalysis #newera #EU #MSCA #HorizonDECADES #REA #ResearchImpactEU #H2021
