Chitin is besides cellulose the second most important natural polymer in the world, found in marine crustaceans, like shrimps and crabs, insects and fungi.
Oxygenases are a group of enzymes that carry out the regio-, stereo- and chemoselective introduction of oxygen into a large range of organic molecules under mild conditions, and thus catalyse crucial reactions in various metabolic routes.
Waste2Go will develop technologies to locally improve waste management and increase social, economic and environmental value.
Prosjektet går ut på å studere en hel ny type enzymer som ble oppdaget ved UMB i 2010, LPMO. Prosjektets mål er å karakterisere en rekke slike LPMOs for å kartlegge hvilke aktiviteter de har og de grunnleggende mekanismene bak disse aktiviteter, samt å teste mulig anvendelse i bioraffinering av forskjellige typer biomasser.
In this project, we will develop innovative new processes for saccharification of biomass by combining leading research on biomass enzymology with proprietary pretreatment technologies.
The project aims to describe major as-yet uncharacterized cellulolytic gene clusters that have recently been detected in a broad range of herbivore gastrointestinal microbiomes including the reindeer, and are believed responsible for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass.
This project focuses on developing enzymes and processes for biomasses and value chains where Norway has clear competitive advantages, namely lignocellulosics and marine co-products from fisheries and aquaculture.
