Synthetic biology and artificial intelligence, mutual learning to advance together and jointly drive industrial biotechnology - accelerating knowledge discovery and strain engineering Ghent University
This project aims the development of novel and innovativemachine learning and synthetic biology parts, tools and techniques by mutual learning, to jointly drive the strain engineering process. This ensemble will enable reliable forward engineering, which will be demonstrated by the development of a microbial cell factory for the flavonoid kaempferol.
Material, energy and water management in industrial parks: industrial symbiosis. (POL/001/07). KU Leuven
SRP (Zwaartepunt): Towards a Sustainable Media Ecology? The Case of the Flemish Audiovisual Industry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Sustainable methanotrophs: from ecology to microbial resource management Ghent University
The concept of microbial resource management will be applied on methanothrophic bacteria. Natural methane-oxidising inocula will be transferred and selected under different conditions in high rate and high affinity reactors. Functional and taxonomic diversity of the consortia will be analysed. Accredited deposit and storage of these consortia will be developed. The obtained methanotrophs will be screened for relevant biotechnological ...

Assessing genetic and phenotypic diversity of Brettanomyces yeast KU Leuven
Brettanomyces yeast species, with Brettanomyces (Dekkera) bruxellensis being the most important, are generally reported to be spoilage yeasts in the beer and wine industry due to the production of phenolic off-flavors. The aromas imparted, which can be described as ‘medicinal and ‘barnyard’, are colloquially known as “Brett” character and are generally considered negative for beer and wine quality. However, ...
