Publications
New publication is out now!

We have a new publication “Screening and growth characterization of non-conventional yeasts in a hemicellulosic hydrolysate” published in Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology. Here we have characterized the consumption profiles and growth patterns of nine non-Saccharomyces yeast strains on an industrial hemicellulosic hydrolysate, provided by our partners from Graanul Biotech.

 

Congrats to all the authors Paola, Daria, Nemailla and Petri.

Thesis graduations in 2021

Next Friday (4th of June) Alina Rekena will defend her Master’s degree at the University of Tartu. Alina carried out a large-scale study characterizing R. toruloides growth on different substrates and creating enzyme constrained genome-scale metabolic models. Her work will be a keystone to engineer carotenoid and lipid yields in R. toruloides. 

 

 

Daria defended her bachelor’s thesis “Characterisation of non-conventional yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus in lignocellulosic hydrolysate” on 31st of May with the highest grade.

TalTech Development Conference 2021

Tallinn University of Technology is setting sights for the future, and you have the opportunity to be a part of it. At the virtual conference of development, taking place on January 21st, 2021, researchers and experts of the university shared their visions on TalTech’s role in Estonia and the world, the future of education, and the contribution of science and universities to solving global challenges. Prof. Petri-Jaan Lahtvee shared his opinion on the development of the circular economy and how TalTech can play a role there.

The recording of the conference can be found here.

 

General
Food Tech and Bioengineering lab has started at TalTech

Food Tech and Bioengineering lab started at TalTech in January 2021.

The group is led by Prof. Petri-Jaan Lahtvee and the Team has expertise in bioinformatics, metabolic engineering, bioprocess optimization as well as in 3D printing of living materials.

Our goal is to address global challenges of biosustainability, including sustainable production of food and feed, but also biochemicals and materials

Happy to start new collaborations at TalTech.
