Development of new biotechnological applications of microalgae
The project will implement new biotechnological applications of microalgae using synthetic biology, metabolic engineering and biocatalysis technologies, thus contributing to a biobased economy using renewable resources to produce high value and pure rhamnolipids variants.
Rhamnoalga will develop a biofactory for the production of mono-RL in microalgae chloroplast and implement the production of di-RL by biocatalytic approach.
