On Wednesday April 13th BaseClear is organizing an in-person Experts Meeting dedicated to fungal production strains and its applications in industries. Topics discussed at this meeting include de novo fungal strain discovery, fungal characterization & EFSA approval, fungal fermentations & process control, fungal strain engineering for the production of novel enzymes, fungal spoilage, and growing a circular economy with fungal biotechnology. Leading experts from both industry and academia will share their research and latest insights on, amongst others;
- Fungal strain discovery & applications for new enzymes: The rationale behind the selection of fungal species, whole phenotypic and genetic testing, which fungal enzymes are on demand for industrial processes.
- Fungal fermentations: How fungi help the fermentation process from the selection of different matrices to best conditions for fermentation (e.g. new flavours or beverages).
- Spoilage: Fungi can cause spoilage in different parts of the production chain of food products, how to identify such fungi and methods of control.
- Circular economy: How to identify and use fungi to produce new materials, using as base subproducts from other industries / processes.
