Extremophiles as cell factories for the production of hyperthermosolutes

Objective

The major goal of this project is the development of cell systems optimised for the production of two compatible solutes derived from hypertermophilic sources: mannosylglycerate and di-inositol phosphate. These are highly value-added compounds with application in the stabilisation of several biomaterials.
