Microbial protein as substitute for ruminant meat
The production of ruminant meat has strong environmental impacts, especially related to land use. Microbial protein, produced in bioreactors, is a land-saving nutritious alternative. We analyzed the environmental effects of microbial protein in the context of the whole agriculture and food system by 2050.
Engineering ketoreductases for a new-to-nature photobiotransformation
Engineering enzymes with new-to-nature reactivity remains a great challenge in biocatalysis. Combining the merits of biocatalysis and photocatalysis represents a powerful approach to address this challenge.
