Research
Our research revolves around the comprehensive investigation of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Through a combination of high-precision methods, we aim to thoroughly characterize both established and newly discovered EPS variants that have the potential for diverse and sustainable applications in various industries.
An important aspect of our work is the development of a versatile multi-EPS toolbox that allows us to create blends that are precisely optimized for the specific requirements of each industrial application.
To enable subsequent upscaling in line with industry standards, we are also improving the fermentation processes and downstream processing of the corresponding EPS. Factors such as scalability, (energy) efficiency, product titre and cost-effectiveness play a major role in making the production of the respective EPS industrially practicable.
