O projektu

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are microbial polyesters that are considered to be an ecological alternative to petrochemical polymers. Techno-economical aspects of biotechnological production of PHA can be substantially improved by employing extremophilic bacteria which bring numerous benefits to the process. In this project, we plan to utilize the unique features of extremophilic cells for the development of a novel “green” and economically feasible procedure for the isolation of the PHA polymers from bacterial biomass of halophilic and thermophilic bacteria.

Popis anglicky
The aim of the project is to create a competition for student research grants and its pilot verification. The creation of a new competition will contribute to the development of cross-sectional skills of doctoral students, and thus acquire competencies for work in science and research in the future and increase their success in submitting scientific projects to national and international competitions.
