Our yeast strain is capable of utilizing acetic, propionic, butyric, valeric and caproic acids and accumulates high amounts of microbial oils.

The final @oleoferm conference attracted a large crowd! There were so many great results presented from both within the consortium and beyond. Thank you, @IMDEA_Energia for organising the event!

[Oleoferm ERA CoBioTech @oleoferm]

Some of the strains screened for conversion of short-chain fatty acids to microbial oils can grow at 25 g/L SCFAs. How cool is that?

[Oleoferm ERA CoBioTech @oleoferm]

Our mid-term workshop was attended by 57 registered participants from 24 different countries and 38 different institutions. Looking forward to helping our results reach an ever increasing audience.

#ERAnet @ERA_CoBioTech @oleoferm WP6 is taking care of the dissemination of the results to the industrial and scientific community and to a broad stakeholder audience – science is great, communicating science is, too!
#Biotechnology

[Oleoferm ERA CoBioTech @oleoferm]

We developed a simulation model for the production of microbial oils from organic waste, including waste pre-treatment, acidogenic fermentation, oleaginous fermentation, and extraction of lipids from oleaginous yeasts.

#ERAnet @ERA_CoBioTech @oleoferm WP3 is screening hundreds of wild yeasts to find the best for making microbial oils from short-chain fatty acids and modelling its metabolism.
#Biotechnology

[Oleoferm ERA CoBioTech @oleoferm]

We reached over 40% bioconversion yield in converting household food wastes to volatile fatty acids – producing a promising substrate for further conversion into valuable microbial oils!
