Alternative strains adaptation

DTU team is working on the microbial adaptation of the strains Actinobacillus succinogenes 130Z and Basfia succiniciproducens (by evolutionary adaptation procedure) to IVEM´s sugar-rich side streams. This will allow having more robust and resilient strains and, hence, a better performance on the biogas upgrade and biosuccinic acid production.

As a starting point, MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) and adaptation laboratory evolution (ALE) experiments were conducted to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration for both strains and to design the main ALE experiment.
