We are also exploring the industrial application of biochemical processes

 

1. Biomining: the commercial extraction of valuable metals (Ni, Cu, Co, Ti, Au) from mine tailings. 

 

2. Commercial production of metabolic enzymes/antibodies.

 

3. Diagnostic kits to monitor metabolic markers.

 

4. Biofuels:
plant waste -> ethanol, energy
municipal waste -> methane

 

5. Biofouling: prevent fuel deterioration
