Biotechnology platform
Last update: 15 January 2017
The biotechnology platform is dedicated to the production and the cultivation of microorganisms and to the production, the purification and the characterization of proteins and biomolecules
Aims
- Submerged fermentations in batch, fed-batch and continuous modes
- Montoring, optimization and control of cultivation conditions and microbial physiological state
- Extraction and purification of microbial proteins
- Identification and functional characterization of proteins
Facilities
- 8 fully instrumented fermentors
- Downstream processing (centrifugation, expanded-bed chromatography, tangential flow micro- and ultrafiltration, perfusion chromatography, lyophilization)
- 1D and 2D chromatography
- Chemical, enzymatic and immunological detection coupled to image analysis
The biotechnology platform is a member of the I-FERM federation of fermentation platforms
