White biotechnology microorganisms

In Europe, the bio-industries are associated in EuropaBio. This organization submitted in 2003 six studies within "White Biotechnology" to a number of independent peer reviewers. All studies of processes making use of microorganisms and enzymes in producing industrial antibiotics, vitamins, detergents, bioplastics, and fibers (Figure 16.5) seemed to save... 

Exopolysaccharides from Prokaryotic Microorganisms—Promising Sources for White Biotechnology Processes... 

In recent years, the increased demand in exploration of natural sources for white biotechnology processes has led to a renewed interest in exopolysaccharides (EPSs) production by microorganisms. Although their production was first reported in the 1880s, still biosynthesis is regarded as largely unexplored. The microbial EPSs are between the most multifunctional and industrially interesting compounds and research in this area has led to the development of fermentation processes for several microbial...
