Abstract
Bio-inspired products / processes will have a major impact on the global society in 21st Century. The
employment of biocatalysts in industrial processes is expected to boost a sustainable production of
chemicals, materials and fuels from renewable resources.
The scope of this proposal is to translate academic research into industrial applications by exploiting
methods, techniques and databases to allow the identifcation and application of novel biocatalysts in
biotechnological producst and processes.
Among the large spectrum of applications, we will translate the findings and apply the novel enzymes to
the creation of new HPC products so that we can combat more efficiently and with better hygiene
human sebum (body soil) contaminated garments and thereby reduce the environmental and economic
costs of laundry.
