Designing sustainable systems: sustainability assessment of bio-based products and processes

In this webinar we will talk about:

• Microbiome of microalgae cultures during lab and pilot scale cultivation

  • This session will explore how bacterial communities associated with microalgae vary across strains, growth conditions, and production scales, from stock cultures to pilot-scale production.

• SSbD framework and NORCE's efforts to implement sustainability assessments in bio-based innovations

This event is part of the broader "Exploring and harnessing marine microbiomes for a sustainable blue bioeconomy" webinar series. You can follow the link for more information about the series and its webinars. The organisation of this series has been funded by UKRI, Horizon Europe, and Swiss Confederation.

Who is this course for?

This webinar is suitable for:

• Anyone from academia and industry who conduct research, utilise discovery platforms and develop applications in aquaculture, agriculture and pharmaceuticals
• Anyone from research infrastructures who manage marine sampling and scientific data, and who develop discovery platforms

Outcomes

By the end of the webinar, you will be able to:

• Describe how bacterial community composition varies between different microalgal genera.

• Identify the influence of cultivation parameters, such as growth medium, on bacterial communities.
• Explain how specific microalgal strains may shape their associated bacterial communities.
• Describe the SSbD framework and its relevance to biotechnology.
