Scale-up research of the microbiological soil fertilizer and biocontrol agent obtainment in submerged and surface cultivation processes
Project summary
Goal of the project is to research the scale-up parameters of highly demand Trichoderma and Bacillus genera microorganism submerged liquid and solid-state cultivations and down-stream processes for microbiological soil fertilizer and bio-control agent obtainment, in an interdisciplinary industrial cooperation study related to commercial activity in the fields of biological science and industrial biotechnology, and to promote knowledge transfer.
Main activities of the project:
- Cultivation modelling,
- Cultivation scale-up research,
- Culture down-stream processing research,
- Assessment of preparation quality,
- Distribution of results and technology transfer.
Project duration: 36 months.
