Cooperation offer

The Institute is developing a technology for the production of P3HB (poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)) – with potential for collaboration in exploring new applications of this biopolymer. As for the applications of this polymer, we see potential in:

• the production of films, pellets, granules, etc., with controlled release/dosing from these formulations;

• encapsulation of substances in a P3HB shell to enable controlled release;

• agricultural nets (e.g., for protecting plants from birds);

• plant growth bags.

Moreover, our Biotechnology Center is eager to participate in a research project by offering:

• Microorganism screening: search for bioactive compounds

• Genetic engineering of microorganisms: designing synthesis pathways for chemical products, genome analysis based on sequencing, development of production strains

• Optimization and scale-up of biotechnological processes (up to 150 L scale)

• In vitro biological testing of substances (including cytotoxicity, anti-inflammatory properties)

• Preparation of biological material for long-term storage (cell banks, lyophilization)
