February 06, 2009 - Greon’s knowledgebase v1.0 for species able to live in extreme environment and to biotransform industrial waste has been released.
Ability to thrive, in habitats considered extreme by the common sense of human perception, is not rare in nature. Micro-organisms from different taxonomy ranks has various mechanisms, that not only help them survive in toxic environments, but also to abide successfully in these, taking full advantage of the niche. On the other hand industrial systems and their waste products could be treated as human generated extreme environments.
Greon’s knowledgebase has compiled and organised information for 127 species by different domains of scientific knowledge: taxonomy, biochemistry, genetics, physiology, microbiology, primary and secondary metabolites, biomembranes and structural biology, environmental factors, biotechnology, process design and mathematical modeling, organic and inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, etc. This comprehensive species portfolio is further matched against different types of industrial waste, different routes for biomass conversion to 3rd generation biofuels, and different efficiencies of biotransformation.
The knowledgebase development is a corner stone of Greon’s disruptive technology, and it provides the grounds for its competitive edge. The first release of the knowledgebase will further enhance the services we offer to clients and the intelligent decisions, which need to be made prior to the establishment of pilot biotech installation for waste management.
