BRAIN and three other partners form research partnership for biopolymers from alginates

November 18, 2013 |

In Germany, four partners, BRAIN, the Hohenstein Institute, Kelheim Fibres and rökona, announced the formation of a new research alliance for the biotechnical production and modification of specialty alginates. The aim of the alliance is to establish a sustainable microbial bioprocess for the production of specialised alginate components.

The biopolymers should serve a dual purpose: application in high-quality medical product matrices and within the innovative textile industry. Parts of the alliance research project will be co-financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research under grant number 013A126 and the acronym AlBioTex.
