Unravelling and resolving inefficient glucolipid biosurfactants production through quantitative multi-omics analyses of Starmerella bombicola strains

In the framework of the Applisurf project, FLAMAC worked together with Bio-based Europe Pilot Plant and Ghent University (UGent) on the development of a new bio-based surfactant portfolio. Flamac’s mission is the characterisation of surfactant physio-chemical properties through automated and accelerated methods. The recently published article focusses on glucolipid biosurfactants production by Starmerella bombicola. Physio-chemical properties …
