Bioprocess and Microbial Engineering department
The teams of the Bioprocesses & Microbiological Engineering department
Research description
Understand the microorganism(s)-process-environment interactions that limit bioprocess performance, robustness and sustainability.
Approaches
Observe / Describe / Understand
- Analysis of physiology, metabolism and microbial kinetics
- Structured modeling at different scales: metabolic, kinetic, population and bioprocess.
- Implementation of controlled experimental strategies for the culture of microorganisms and consortia.
Act / Develop / Optimize
- Deduce process control strategies
- Deduce optimal bioreactor and bioprocess configurations
- Propose microbial engineering and consortia strategies.
- Develop robust and sustainable bioprocesses and integrate them into the complete chain.
