BioPort @Yeasterday in Brussels (May 13th, 2022)

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.”

New BioPort’s Review

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 →

New BioPort’s Review

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 →
