Happy news!😊 A framework to improve biocatalysts for sustainable biotechnology has begun as a collaborative effort between The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability (DTU Biosustain) and researchers from Germany and The Netherlands! 💥   As we all know, we need to replace industrial methods for production of chemicals with more sustainable biotechnological processes to reduce the use of fossil fuels and the production of greenhouse gases.🌍 Developing cost-effective bio-based processes require the creation of stable and selective enzymes that serve as efficient biocatalysts. Unfortunately, using traditional methods to modify and test improved enzymes is a slow and labor-intensive job. To speed up the process of enzyme engineering, an international team including scientists from DTU Biosustain, The Charité in Berlin in Germany, Leiden University in the Netherlands and the Research Center Jülich in Germany will join forces to combine machine learning and directed evolution with automated workflows and efficient selection processes in metabolically rewired bacteria ('selection strains') to address challenges and expand the possibilities for enzyme engineering. 👏👏👏   This interdisciplinary collaboration will include the generation of massive DNA sequence libraries, the application of bacterial strains that introduce additional mutations to increase the solution space, and the selection of the best enzyme variants based on high-throughput screening procedures.    🔈“With this integrated approach, enzymes can be engineered faster and more reliably than before and we are very excited about that”, says postdoc Enrico Orsi from DTU Biosustain, who is lead author of the article.   🔈 Professor Pablo Ivan Nikel from DTU Biosustain adds: "This framework will accelerate the pace at which we construct cell factories, and we are excited to incorporate this framework into our existing research lines embedded in the biofoundry".    The research results of the collaboration have just been published as a perspective in Nature Communications: https://lnkd.in/dShkPgkr #biotechnology #engineering #sustainability #biofoundry Novo Nordisk Foundation DTU - Technical University of Denmark

What an honor to be published (again) in Nature Magazine, one of the most prestigious scientific journals in the world! 📰 Publishing an article in Nature is remarkable, publishing TWO articles in Nature is truly exceptional. After a first publication in 2020 on enzymatic depolymerization of PET, this new article reinforces Carbios’ scientific leadership in enzymatic biotechnologies by presenting enzyme-embedded PLA that is 100% compostable at ambient temperature. Developing an efficient enzyme that can withstand the 170°C needed to introduce it into PLA is an outstanding scientific feat! 🔬👩🔬👨🔬 This achievement would not have been possible without the hard work, passion, and dedication of our researchers, engineers, and partners. A special mention to our longstanding collaborator who co-authored the article, TBI - Toulouse Biotechnology Institute, Bio & Chemical Engineering, (joint research unit associating INSA Toulouse, CNRS - Centre national de la recherche scientifique and INRAE). A huge thank you to all the teams who contributed to this exceptional success. Together, we continue to push the boundaries of science for a greener future. #Biotech #innovation #science #biodegradation #RD #enzymes

Five years into the FBM Initiative, many amazing results are becoming visible. Today, we take a look at the publication list. A substantial grant like the FBM Initiative, aimed at fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, has not only created a new breed of advanced fermentation engineers but also played a pivotal role in the quality of the scientific output. According to a recent Web of Science search, there are 52 publications with the FBM grant code. The results show the wide scope of the FBM Initiative, with topics ranging from #yeast engineering to process intensification and life cycle assessment. Check out the WOS publication list including abstracts at the FBM Website: https://lnkd.in/d-UPwQ7q We also asked some of the authors featured on the list what impact the FBM Initiative has had on their research: John Woodley, Professor, DTU Chemical and Biochemical Engineering:  “The FBM Initiative has been a brilliant opportunity to learn new approaches and methodologies and to place my work in a wider context. I think the FBM Initiative has broadened my research to include fermentation, alongside microbial biocatalysis and cell-free systems where I have worked for many years. Working with new colleagues in DTU Bioengineering and DTU Biosustain and sharing equipment has been absolutely instrumental in this process.” José Luis Martínez Ruiz, Associate Professor, DTU Bioengineering:  “Access to equipment, like the robotic platform, and the close collaborations with experts from other departments have definitely enhanced the complexity and innovation in our research projects and the impact factor of our publications. Having a number of shared FBM PhD projects allowed us to think out of the box and also take some risks. If you’re always thinking of the safest project, you’re not advancing. And in our case, the risk paid off. Our recent publications have attracted a lot of attention because of their novelty and broader societal impact.” Did you miss the post on José's latest publication?
