Explore CO2 fixation as a new route for PHA production with Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacteria (APB)
Aims:
Develop a new phototrophic microbial process that explores the unique capabilities of APB to fixate CO2 into PHA.
Single strains and APB mixed cultures, from lab up to pilot-scale operation will be studied to deliver a cost-effective PHA producing technology that can simultaneously mitigate CO2 and plastic pollution.
PHA production from microalgae biomass
Aims:
Boost portuguese industries by integrating blue biotechnology solutions.
Promote a sustainable use of marine resources.
From Nature, in a Circular and Sustainable Way, to People
Aim: Adding value from biological resources. Developing alternatives to fossil-based raw materials.
