    The goal of the project is to obtain bio-succinic acid (BSA) through high-yield, \u201cclean\u201d biocatalysis using Enterobacter<\/em> bacteria. This process also enables the use of renewable and waste feedstocks that have no application in other industrial sectors.<\/p>

    According to the U.S. Department of Energy, succinic acid is considered a biotransformation product of strategic importance for the biotechnology and chemical industries. Currently, it is primarily derived from fossil fuels, but it can be produced using environmentally friendly \u201cgreen chemistry\u201d methods.<\/p>

    The commercial value of bio-succinic acid and the number of its potential applications in the chemical industry continue to grow. However, despite intensive research, the production efficiency of bio-succinic acid remains insufficient, and the limitations of existing methods significantly reduce profitability.<\/p>

    The aim of the project is to develop a proprietary technology for producing bio-succinic acid based on promising research results on the Enterobacter<\/em> sp. LU1 strain. Advantages of this strain and related strains include:<\/p>

    • the ability to utilize waste feedstocks,<\/p><\/li>

    • low production costs,<\/p><\/li>

    • inexpensive cultivation, and<\/p><\/li>

    • low downstream purification costs.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

      During the industrial research phase, the natural metabolic pathways of Enterobacter<\/em> bacteria will be modified using genetic engineering. Bio-succinic acid production will then be validated through flux analysis<\/strong>.<\/p>

      In the development phase, production and scale-up to a 100-liter bioreactor will be optimized using the most efficient strain.<\/p>

      Potential recipients of bio-succinic acid include Grupa Azoty Pu\u0142awy and the broader Polish chemical industry. Developing a proprietary biosynthesis technology for succinic acid is a strategic objective that will allow Grupa Azoty Pu\u0142awy to join the leading global players in biochemical production.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
