Welcome!
Research and teaching at our institute focus on one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century: The transition from an industry based on fossil resources to a sustainable, bio-based economy. Here, the so-called Industrial Biotechnology, which is also referred to as White Biotechnology in the German language area, holds a key position. Microorganisms or enzymes are used as biocatalysts for the production of (fine-)chemicals, agricultural and pharmaceutical precursors, food and animal feed, energy sources and innovative materials. This research focus is represented by the working groups of Biocatalysis, Nanobiotechnology, and Systems Biotechnology. Our research portfolio is complemented by the group of Bioactives.
Using spray cooling, the Bioactives working group produces solid lipid microparticles from renewable raw materials that contain various copper salts as fungicidal active ingredients. ...

On Thursday, October 6, we met for a hike to the Glatzenstein in the Franconian Alb. Even though it was still drizzling slightly at the beginning of the hike, the weather turned into a golden autumn day from noon on.
