BIOTECHNOLOGICAL RESEARCH

The main areas of development in industrial biotechnology of InKemia IUCT group are:

• New microorganism prospects and enzymes derived from extreme environments
• Obtention of novelty enzymes as industrial biocatalysts to be used in the fine chemistry sector or related.
• Purified expression of proteins
• Design and optimization of biocatalysts
• Design of biocatalyst processes
• Scale-up studies for biotechnological processes

Techniques of specialization:

• Cloning of host cells both prokaryotic and eukaryotic
• Cloning of vectors
• Constitutive and inductive expression of proteins in prokaryotes and yeasts
• Primer design
• Set-up of biotransformation reactions mediated by microorganisms or purified fractions of microorganisms.
• Biosynthesis of APIs both antiviral and anti-cancer
• Biosynthesis of monomers and vitamin K3
• Purification of products and metabolites
• Identification of Products and metabolites
• Creation of fusion proteins
• Quantitative and qualitative determination of DNA, RNA and proteins
• Ames Test
