Led by ERA Chair in Synthetic Biology, we have published a policy brief on Synthetic biology – enabeling technology for the next generation bioeconomy. Link

We have a pre-print out in bioRxiv: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.10.22.350355v1 Wherein we investigated salt-stress effects in conventional and non-conventional yeasts and show that potassium-sodium interactions can improve cellular fitness and productivity in some #yeasts #Biotechnology

ERA Chair in Synthetic Biology (SynBioTEC) together with their collaborators from UNICAMP, Brazil, and Chalmers, Sweden, published a research paper in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology. The paper describes lipid and carotenoid accumulation in a non-conventional yeast Roduthorula toruloides on three different carbon sources and four C/N ratios, where metabolic bottlenecks […]

ERA Chair of SynBioTEC Petri Lahtvee became a member of the Editorial Board for the journal FEMS Yeast Research. The leading journal in its field, FEMS Yeast Research bridges the gap between pure and applied research on conventional and non-conventional yeasts and yeast-like organisms. FEMS Yeast Research aims to ensure efficient publication of […]

Petri Lahtvee was introducing the strategic plan of the Estonian Center for Synthetic Biology and how it contributes to the Estonian and Nordic Bioeconomy strategy at the VTT organized Synthetic Biology seminar ‘Living factories – Carbon Neutrality with Synthetic Biology’, held on September 18, 2019, in Espoo, Finland.

We are glad that another COST Action with our participation on NON-CONVENTIONAL YEASTS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BIOPRODUCTS received funding. We are looking forward for the collaboration.

FEBS3+ is a FEBS supported regional conference, where at least 3 geographically close member states have to participate. In 2019 FEBS3+ conference will be held in Riga and organized together with Lithuanian and Estonian Biochemical societies. SynBioTEC ERA Chair Petri Lahtvee was giving a talk and introduced the advances in […]
