Fermentation research institute

PERM acronym derived from the former name of the Fermentation Research Institute (FRI), in Japan, which later became the Patent Microorganism Depository of the National Institute of Bioscience and Human Technology (NIBH). As previously mentioned, the Budapest Treaty requires deposition of the biological material subject to a patent application. In Japan and some other countries, an applicant for a patent concerning a microorganism has to submit a receipt of that deposition to the Patent Office at filing. The depository checks viability and would furnish a sample of the microorganism to a third party only for study and research, under the established rules of the treaty.

Nevertheless, only recently have we witnessed a ferment of research activity in universities, public and private research institutes, and now, more consciously, industry, which sees in ACSs the possibility for new and promising markets. Merely to give an idea of the importance of the development of the ACSs let us list a few areas, stressing those dealing with the detection of chemical species and the measurement of their concentration.

Fermentation Research in Copenhagen and in Berlin, Austria also decided to establish a special university institute. This institute was founded at the Vienna Technical Institute in 1897 and still exists as the Institute of Biochemical Technology and Microbiology at the Vienna University of Technology. Its first director and professor was Franz Lafar (1865-1943) from Vienna (Fig. 2). 

In the future, lactic acid may be produced from biowaste (e.g., cellulose and lignocellulose) instead of starch fi om food crops to further reduce the cost and to increase the sustainability of PLA. A gypsum-free process is also under development to reduce solid waste to make PLA more environmentally friendly. Industrial-scale d-LA is being optimized to produce low-cost PDLA to improve PLA for high-end applications. Extensive efforts have been committed by the enzyme and fermentation industries and research institutes to these topics.

The early development of microbial processes for industrial production of ethanol or lactic acid occurred in Berfin at the Research Institute for Fermentation Industries, directed by Max Delbrfick. The major accomplishments of this institution were the preparation of pure cultures of bacteria or yeasts for industrial fermentations and the application of the principle of natural pure culturing. In natural pure culturing, the...

The Marine Biotechnology Institute (MBI) was founded in 1987 for the study and applications of biodiversity in marine environments. Currently, and within the scope of the present book, the research area of relevance is industrial applications of microbiology . The institute also performs research in C02 fixation. The Applied Microbiology Laboratory is searching cost-effective utilization of microbes for environmental conservation and restoration. In particular, the decontamination of areas polluted with petroleum-related compounds has been addressed. Attention has been paid to removal of polycyclic hydrocarbons. They are also developing processing methods for the conversion of biomass and organic wastes by methane fermentation.
