In this feature, we spoke with Natalia Nadal Alemany, whose research explores the metabolic flexibility of the fermentative microorganism Clostridium pasteurianum. Using the UNLOCK Parallel Cultivation Platform, the study examines metabolic adaptation to iron limitation during anaerobic fermentation.
As part of our ongoing series showcasing researchers using UNLOCK’s research facilities, we spoke with Jinsong, a researcher conducting bioreactor-based research on microbial enrichment for biopolymer production using the UNLOCK Parallel Cultivation Platform.
What are the strings to pull to steer fermentation processes in such in way that they deliver exactly the desired products?- an interview with the Manager of UNLOCK's Parallel Cultivation Platform Robbert Kleerebezem
The Parallel Cultivation Platform offers an innovative approach to studying microbial communities under controlled conditions. This case study highlights the experiences of Rifki Wahyu Kurnianto, a PhD candidate at Delft University of Technology, as he utilized the platform to investigate the role of magnetite in anaerobic phenol degradation.
The current development state of the software and hardware projects within the Parallel Cultivation Platform was shown.
