Listen "Episode 11: Sustainable Production: Self-Sufficient biotechnological reaction cascade"

Episode Synopsis

Sustainable production is becoming increasingly important as global concerns over environmental impact grow. An illustrative example is the potential for biotechnological production of second-generation using microorganisms. How promising is this method and what are the mechanisms involved in this process?

Prof. Dirk Holtmann, KIT Karlsruhe and Prof Roland Ulber, RPTU explain how a self-sufficient biotechnological reaction cascade to produce biofuel could improve sustainable production by the help of biotechnology.

InterZell, funded by the DFG as a priority program (SPP 2170), focuses on cell-cell and cell-bioreactor interactions, bridging biological research with engineering principles in modern biochemical engineering.
