The latest research insights and circularity potential of the European insect sector were recently discussed in EU’s capital, Brussels.

By combining nature’s own reactions, Associate Professor Selin Kara from the Department of Engineering at Aarhus University aims to develop a fully green and sustainable production process for chemicals.

Over the course of several months, researchers created Escherichia coli strains that consume carbon dioxide for energy instead of organic compounds. This achievement in synthetic biology highlights the incredible plasticity of bacterial metabolism and could provide the framework for future carbon-neutral bioproduction. The work appears November 27th in the journal Cell. “Our main aim was […]

Secondary metabolites are often considered within the remit of bacterial or plant research, but animals also contain a plethora of these molecules with important functional roles. Classical feeding studies demonstrate that, whereas some are derived from diet, many of these compounds are made within the animals. In the past 15 years, the genetic and biochemical […]

En su más reciente visita al país, Vicente Ledour participó en el Congreso Bianual Amena 2019, específicamente en el Simposio técnico comercial organizado por JEFO “Nutrición moderna: desafíos y oportunidades” donde presentó la ponencia “La importancia de las enzimas en la nutrición moderna” nombre que igualmente lleva la acontecápsula donde el especialista cuenta sobre el […]

Salk research explains how plants are able to efficiently manufacture the compounds they use to adapt to stress

Today, we welcomed Jefo Canada and a group of customers to visit our headquarters. We had a great session to illustrate the potential of enzymes!

Cellulase and xylanase have been widely used in the textile, pulp and paper, animal feed, and food-processing industries. Exploring novel cellulases and xylanases for biocatalysts continues to be a hot issue. Enzymes derived from the polar seas might have novel hydrolysis patterns, substrate specificities, or extremophilic properties that have great potential for both fundamental research […]

Bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to common antibiotics. Often, resistance is mediated by resistance genes, which can simply jump from one bacterial population to the next. It’s a common assumption that the resistance genes spread primarily when antibiotics are used, a rationale backed up by Darwin’s theory: only in cases where antibiotics are actually being […]
