Professor Alfons Stams, from the Wageningen University, invited scientist of the Centre for Biological Engineering (CEB) of the EEUM since 2010, was awarded an Advanced Grant of the European Research Council (ERC), in the area of Life Sciences.
The project, named “Novel anaerobes for a biobased economy”, is a joint project between the University of Wageningen and the UMinho, which aims at applying knowledge of anaerobic microbial communities for a biobased economy and study novel anaerobic microorganisms.
The total funding for the UMinho will be of around 1 million euros. Professor Alfons Stams is currently working with the BRIDGE – Bioresources, Bioremediation and Biorefinery group at the CEB. According to the researcher, the biotechnological potential of microbial diversity is huge and this project will study novel anaerobes for energy conservation and production of valuable compounds.
