From Microbiomes and (Meta)genomes to the Lab and Back - Identification, Production and Application of Bacteriocins
The ISM is pleased to announce that Dr. Christian Riedel, University of Ulm, Germany, will be speaking at Targeting Microbiota 2024 this October.
Dr. Riedel's presentation, titled "From Microbiomes and (Meta)genomes to the Lab and Back - Identification, Production and Application of Bacteriocins," will include:
- Discussing the diverse applications of bacteriocins, including food preservation, animal feed, microbiome modulation, and potential therapeutic alternatives for antibiotic-resistant pathogens.
- Identifying production challenges: Currently, bacteriocins are mainly produced by natural producer organisms on complex substrates.
- Proposing solutions: Shift towards recombinant biotechnological production hosts, with focus on Corynebacterium glutamicum as an industrial workhorse organism.
- Highlighting efforts to identify novel bacteriocins from environmental microbiomes and genomic data.
- Exploring the intricacies of recombinant production, including challenges and potential solutions.
- Providing examples of potential applications of bacteriocins across different settings.
