Cultivation of phototrophic microorganisms in column reactors for the production of fish feed. Photo: Swen Reichhold / Leipzig University News from In the REPLACER project, researchers are developing so-called hybrid living materials. The focus is on producing microbial proteins with a low carbon footprint, high acceptance and affordable costs - by using greenhouse gases. The long-term goal: sustainable production of feed proteins. An example of applied research with great transfer potential. The Research and Transfer Centre for Bioactive Matter (b-ACT matter) is coordinating the project. -Scientific and technological innovations aimed at reducing greenhouse gases and plastic waste, while providing a sustainable solution to the current feed production system, are urgently needed to address climate change, plastic pollution and food insecurity,- says coordinator Dr Rohan Karande.
