New Bioproduction Systems: Electrically and Light-Driven Biosyntheses

Biotechnological processes traditionally rely on chemical energy stored in organic compounds. Alternative concepts of bioproduction use energy supplied by electrical current or light. Well known are electro- and photoenzymatic transformations and microbial fuel cells which convert chemical into electrical energy.

Recently, 'microbial electrosynthesis', a process formally analogous to photosynthesis, has drawn considerable attention. It employs metal and sulfur reducing micro-organisms which are able to synthesize multi-carbon compounds from carbon dioxide and electricity.
With "electrically and light-driven biosyntheses" as focus topic the meeting will feature the exciting perspectives of developing these concepts into technical applications. Advances in other new bioproduction systems such as cell-free or orthogonal biosystems will also be covered.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
