The ImBioED project seeks to deliver improved economics for the production and isolation of amino acids without the need for extensive plant modifications. We intend to achieve this through the integration of biocatalysis and electrodialysis (ED) technologies. Biocatalytic processes are frequentlyimpeded by enzyme inhibition, which severely limits the scope for improving the volume efficiency of such processes. Building on promising results generated from a previous funded Innovate UK feasibility project we intend to utilise ED to remove inhibitory by-products from biotransformation processes, enabling us to achieve significantly improved levels of product accumulation.
