BACTERIOLOGICAL MICRO REACTOR: Bio-reactors made of Silica allowing micro organisms cascade reactions

Domain Health and wellbeing
Technology Tissue and cell engineering
Applications
- Faster and optimized method for micro organisms production (yeast and/or cyanobacteria)
- Faster and optimized method for different kinds of compounds production (recombinant proteins and/or different kinds of drugs, chemical intermediates …)
Description
- Little balls made of porous Silica encapsulating micro organisms that can then proliferate easily in all the pores
- The micro organism proliferation following this new production way is twice more efficient (both in terms of speed of proliferation and of population per volume) than classical sol-gel method
- Cascade reactions can be implemented and then create more synergies and catalytic effects
Benefits
- Productivity and efficiency gains
- Cascade reactions and synergies available
