Project: A high-throughput electroporation system for rapid strain development for industrial biotechnology purposes

2022-12-15 – 2024-12-14

Abstract

Electroporation is a key transformation method allowing high-efficiency transformation of a wide range of microbial strains. Here, we want to replace our end-of-life electroporation device allowing only one simultaneous electroporation by one allowing high-throughput transformation of no less than 96 strains at once. This system will allow us to rapidly transform both model and non-model organisms with highly interesting properties for industrial biotechnology purposes. Doing so, we can create production strains with economically viable production titres that will enable the shift towards a biobased economy.
