Project name: SWIFT – In-depth study of the Sustainable conversion of organic Waste fraction Into bio-oils by Fermentation Technology using bacterial-yeast microbiomes (PI: Anna Duber, PhD)

Country: Poland

Organisation/Company: Poznan University of Technology,

Department: Institute of Environmental Engineering and Building Installations

Position: Post-doc

What do we offer:

A chance to join in a driven and young team Bioref Research Group (https://bioref.put.poznan.pl/) focused on development in the field of environmental biotechnology and recovery of valuable compounds from organic waste in accordance with the assumptions of the circular economy; mutual consultations and support; participation in national and international conferences.

Project description:

In this project the primary objective is an in-depth evaluation of the feasibility of agro-industrial organic by-products and wastewater valorisation into microbial bio-oils through novel biotechnological strategies. In the bioprocesses type strains of a non-conventional oleaginous yeast (e.g. C. curvatus, L. lipofer, R. mucilaginosa) and open culture microorganisms will be used. Natural abilities of the oleaginous microorganisms of high lipid-accumulation under a steered engineered environment will be investigated, followed by leading-edge analyses of created bacterial-yeast microbiomes, and downstream processing of achieved bio-oils to be developed as a final step. The crutial part aim to develop an ex-situ recovery pipeline of produced lipids by investigating the impact of different separation methods on the lipids yields and quality with subsequent lipids' profile determination.

Main tasks: work conceptualization, performing cultivation processes, analytical analyses, downstream processing and biooils separation, lipids profiles analyses, papers preparation, results dissemination to scientific community in the field.
