CONTRIBUTIONS TO PROJECT

Isolation and metabolic engineering (WP2)
By implementing BioGasols unique cloning techniques for metabolic engineering in thermophilic bacteria, BioGasol will perform genetic alterations in selected production strains. Introduction of genes and/or elimination of selected genes will be conducted, depending on which product is sought to be produced in larger quantities or which by-product is targeted for elimination. A range of new isolations will be tested, cloned and benchmarked against already well documented production strains.

Project coordination
C5 Labs is the work package leader of WP1 and WP6.

EXPERIENCE AND FACILITIES

C5 Labs is an engineering and technology company developing and designing technologies for second-generation bioethanol production. C5 Labs is based on technology developed at the Technical University of Denmark in the areas enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose, fermentation, anaerobic digestion and with specialty in anaerobic thermophilic bacteria for ethanol production. C5 Lab´s process technology is innovative and offers a cost effective production of biofuels such as bioethanol, hydrogen, methane and other valuable by-products.

The company was founded in 2012 as a sister company to BioGasol ApS focusing on the technology behind fermentation of C5 and C6 sugars simultaneously. C5 Labs is a small company employing innovative academics and technicians.
