During the sixth Applied Synthetic Biology in Europe conference in Edinburgh, Liam & Lobke from our group presented their research on channel screening and engineering during a poster session.
Our groupmembers José and Liv traveled to Paris to participate in the iGem Jamboree, an international synthetic biology competition that is organised every year. Besides learning about amazing new projects & attending workshops, José also gave a presentation on “Navigating… Continue Reading →
BioPort members Liv Muth and Meriam Vandeputte enjoyed meeting other yeast scientists at Yeasterday with Liv presenting her poster “Production Assembly Lines in Microbial Cell Factories: Linking Cross-Membrane Transport with Metabolons.”
BioPort’s research paper “Microbial fatty acid transport proteins and their biotechnological potential” has been published in Biotechnology and Bioengineering. Due to the hydrophobic nature of fatty acids, the cellular mechanisms involved in their transport greatly diverge from those of soluble… Continue Reading →
BioPort’s research paper “The role of transport proteins in the production of microbial glycolipid biosurfactants” has been published in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology. Key points: • Transporters are directly and indirectly involved in microbial glycolipid synthesis.• Yeast glycolipid transporters are… Continue Reading →
BioPort’s research paper “Identification and importance of mitochondrial citrate carriers and ATP citrate lyase for glycolipid production in Starmerella bombicola” has been published in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology. Key Points: • Starmerella bombicola is an industrially relevant microbial cell factory… Continue Reading →
