BioSFerA in Spain for Biotec 2023

Last week, BioSFerA was at the Biotec 2023, the XVIII Congress of the Spanish Society of Biotechnology held in Madrid from July 17 until 20, 2023. The Congress, organised by SEBiot – the Spanish Society of Biotechnology, is an important appointment for researchers and professionals working in the field of biotechnology. After years of COVID-isolation, finally the congress took place again in-person at the at the Faculty of Pharmacy of the Complutense, University of Madrid.

Jose Mª Sanz Martín from CARTIF was there to present some results of BioSFerA related to syngas and acetate fermentation with a poster entitled: “Two stage biotechnological process to produce lipids from syngas for the synthesis of sustainable biofuels”.

The poster shows the methodology used in BioSFerA for the production of biofuels via gas and liquid fermentation and the results achieved. As illustrated, up to now, BioSFerA research revelead that acetate produced by M thermoacetica from syngas can be used as promising, low cost carbon source for growth and lipid production in Y lipolytica, which can be further processed to obtain sustainable biofuels
