waste streams into valuable products by biotechnological means can therefore lead to new and sustainable value chains . In the agro industry , the optimisation of plants in terms of their resistance to climate change , pest resistance , vertical farming , etc . is conceivable . Positive prospects should then include , for example , lower water consumption , reduced pesticide inputs into nature or more efficient land use for the production of crops .
Contribution to the bioeconomy
Developing new technologies is at the heart of BRAIN ’ s business . However , we do not just optimise microorganisms . We also identify and develop optimised enzymes and biocatalysts that meet complex process and application requirements , such as enzymes for the production of food , beverages , lubricants or starch . If a particular enzyme is not found in the BRAIN Group ’ s enzyme portfolio , our metagenome libraries are the basis for our sequenceor activity-based search for new enzymes . Although we see ourselves as biotech specialists , we cover the entire value chain , from conception and development to process development or production . In this way , we contribute to the development of the urgently needed bioeconomy . •
