| Description: | FLEXIZYME PROJECT AIMS TO PIONEER AN INTERDISCIPLINARY, SYSTEMATIC BIOTECHNOLOGICAL PLATFORM FOR FATTY AMINE PRODUCTION FROM FAT AND PROTEINRICH RESIDUES, ENCOMPASSING ALL PROCESS STAGES. INTEGRATING CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGIES WILL ADDRESS LIMITATIONS HINDERING ENZYME USE IN COSMETICS, DETERGENTS, AND AGRICULTURE. SCALING UP AND VALIDATION ACROSS THESE SECTORS IS A PIVOTAL PROJECT ASPECT. KEY PROJECT ELEMENTS INCLUDE A CHEMO/ENZYMATIC APPROACH, ENZYME ENGINEERING/IMPROVEMENT, MACHINE LEARNING TOOLS APPLIED TO EXPERIMENTAL AND IN SILICO DATA, REACTOR DESIGN AND MONITORING. THESE FINDINGS WILL CULMINATE IN A BIOTECHNOLOGICAL PLATFORM FOR FATTY AMINE PRODUCTION, ENCOURAGING WIDESPREAD ADOPTION OF BIOTECHNOLOGICAL INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS. GUIDED BY TECHNO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT AND LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT, FLEXIZYME ENSURES PRODUCTIVITY, YIELD, ROBUSTNESS, AND FLEXIBILITY. |
