[Sustainability Series (Finale): The Beauty of Upcycling!] 🌎 Wrapping up our Sustainability Series, let's explore the exciting practice of upcycling in the beauty industry!  Sustainable Solutions, Stunning Results  The beauty industry faces a growing challenge: promoting sustainable production. Upcycling is an innovative solution gaining traction!  ♻ What is Upcycling?  Think of it as giving new life to "waste" materials. Upcycling takes by-products from other industries and uses them in new ways. In cosmetics, this means incorporating upcycled ingredients into formulations, reducing waste and creating innovative products.  SEQENS Tackles Zero Waste  Our 2024 CSR report highlights our commitment to upcycling. In 2023, we internally reprocessed over 1,000 tons of unused products. 🌺 Sens'Flower: A Beautiful Example  SEQENS Personal Care champions upcycling with our Sens' Flower ingredient. This active ingredient is derived from the leftover flower petals of saffron crocus farming – a by-product that would otherwise be discarded.   💬 Join the Conversation!  Do you see a future for upcycled ingredients in the beauty industry? Share your thoughts in the comments below! 👉 To learn more about Sens’Flower, ask for the webinar replay to personalcare@seqens.com or visit our website https://lnkd.in/dqtPhEvG to explore our active ingredients and CSR policy. #Sustainability #SEQENS #SEQENSpersonalcare #SustainabilitySeries #PersonalCare #SensFlower #Upcycling #SustainableBeauty #UpcycledIngredient #OurScienceForYourFuture

[Microbial Biodiversity] is today’s topic in our SEQENBIOTICS series dedicated to SEQENS’ expertise in microbiology! 🔍 𝗔𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 Microbes are ubiquitous on Earth. Their diversity and abundance are determined by the biogeographical habitat they occupy. 🌍 Biodiversity may be described in terms of 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀, 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀, corresponding to three fundamental and hierarchically related levels of biological organization that are present everywhere in the world, including tropical and temperate forests, tundra, deserts, and the ocean surface and subsurface, even in places previously considered uninhabitable by any life form, such as the polar ice caps and thermal or sulfurous springs. With over 𝟮𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, SEQENS has built up a 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟱𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 (Bacteria, Archaea, Microalgae, EuKaryota) from diverse ecosystems (Deep hydrothermal springs, hypersaline anoxic basins, salt marshes, thermal springs, volcanic environments, cold environments, waste, soil etc.) incl. extremophile microorganisms. 🔬We have a 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟭,𝟱𝟬𝟬 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱: highly diverse strains and sequences and, a real potential to generate IP rights.

[Genome mining] is today’s topic in our SEQENBIOTICS summer series dedicated to SEQENS’ expertise in microbiology! 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴? 💡 “Genome mining” is associated with every bioinformatics investigation used to detect: - The biosynthetic pathway of bioactive natural products - And their possible functional and chemical interactions. 💻Genome mining is entirely dependent on computing technology and bioinformatics tools. Today, we have more than 𝟭,𝟱𝟬𝟬 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 from our microbial collection and 𝟭,𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗲-𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 (MAG). 🔍To explore these highly diverse sequences and strains, we use private access to the CEA MicroScope platform providing us with an integrated environment for the automatic/expert annotation and comparative analysis of our prokaryotic genomes. We combine different efficient strategies to identify new coding sequences and new strains with metabolic pathways of interest. Our know-how, combined with the richness of our collection of microorganisms and (meta)genomes, enables us to identify new natural products (strain, enzyme, metabolite) for 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝘀𝗲.
