Microorganisms are living chemical factories. From the simplest ingredients, bacteria and fungi produce highly complex substances in a very short time, which we use as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, solvents or for the production of our food. Electricity can also be produced as a by-product of bacterial metabolism. In the biotechnology center, we develop new processes to elicit the desired substances from microbes in the highest possible yield.
Experience how new microorganisms are isolated from nature and cultivated. Get to know fermenters in which huge quantities of individual cells do their job. Find out how we develop biotechnological processes to increase the yield of new active ingredients and which projects we are working on together with partners all over the world. Discover how much electrical potential there is in your garden soil.
