Research Group Microbial Biotechnology

The MBT Team

is interdisciplinary working to describe novel biocatalysts: from gene to product. It combines versatile methods from disciplines as microbiology, molecular biology, bio-/chemistry and biocatalysis.

Reactors

We work in various scales: cultivation from 1-mL to 10-L and establish biocatalysis in special systems.

News

The MBT team is involved in frame of the science year 2020/21 in the field of bioeconomy with a project for kids: https://wissenschaft-in-der-stadt.de/biooekonomie/
