Did you know that… the output of a biosynthetic pathway is influenced by its chromosomal position? changing the location affects the expression range less than promoter-RBS libraries? culture conditions affect expression differently on different genomic locations? As a biorefinery platform…
Alkaloids from marine fungi : promising antimicrobials? New review published!
Resistance of pathogenic microorganisms against antimicrobials is a major threat to contemporary human society. It necessitates a perpetual influx of novel antimicrobial compounds. This review gives an overview on novel alkaloids with promising antimicrobial properties discovered in the past five…
New insights on the regulation of sophorolipid biosynthesis in Starmerella bombicola published!
The yeast Starmerella bombicola very efficiently produces the secondary metabolites sophorolipids. Their biosynthesis is not-growth associated and highly upregulated in the stationary phase. Despite high industrial and academic interest, the underlying regulation of sophorolipid biosynthesis remains unknown. In this paper,…
Science Figured out: Starmerella in the picture!
Products with an eco-label are often more expensive than regular products. Bio-engineer Sven Dierickx (Ghent University – InBio.be) is determined to change this: he uses yeast from bumblebee honey to make environmentally friendly ánd low-cost detergent. Want to know more?…
In de kijker: Spin-off Inbiose is Ambassadeur van de Oost-Vlaamse Gazellen!
In 2013 werd het startschot gegeven voor Inbiose, een spin-off van InBio die voortvloeide uit de onderzoekslijn van de HMOs. Nu 6 jaar later zijn ze uitgeroepen tot Ambassadeur van de Oost-Vlaamse Gazellen bij kleine bedrijven! Proficiat Inbiose! Bekijk het…
