We are glad to announce that Gecco and other 9 consortium partners have been awarded the European project ROBUSTOO "Robust industrial biocatalysts with peroxygenase, phenol-oxidase or furfuryl-oxidase activities from bacterial and fungal hosts" (HORIZON-CL6-2023-CIRCBIO-01-101135119), coordinated by Dr Susana Camarero (CIB-CSIC). Gecco is part of the project consortium together with other 9 partners: four biotech companies MetGen (Finland), bisy (Austria), InnoSyn (Netherlands), the consultancy Consorzio Italbiotec (Italy), the technology center FCBA (France), and four Spanish research groups belonging to the Autonomous University of Barcelona, the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, and two CSIC institutes, IRNAS and CIB.
ROBUSTOO aims to capitalize on the results of previous EU-funded projects that demonstrated the applicability of three oxidative enzymes, namely non-specific peroxygenases (UPOs), laccases and hydroxymethylfurfural oxidases (HMFOs), to provide novel and more environmentally-friendly production of bio-based chemicals and materials.
