MeMBrane is a three year ERA CoBioTech project with academic and industrial partners across Europe aiming to engineer, and validate at pilot scale, robust host strains that overcome the toxic effects of biomanufacturing by tuning their membrane composition to resist these stresses. The project is funded by national funders BBSRC, NWO, MINECO and Jülich
In the project MeMBrane, the tolerance to ethanol was investigated out of a set of 64 baker’s yeast strains. Contrarily to the established hypothesis, outstandingly tolerant yeast presents a more fluid plasma membrane structure: https://t.co/ImvA6GSLdG #renewablecarbon #MeMBrane
