Biochemical growth requirements and cultivation parameters shall be defined with the aim to improve flow-through conditions. Therefore, suitable minimal as well as complex media for different habitats shall be defined and metabolites, growth inhibitors and promoters shall be investigated. Finally, a semi-continuous fermenter digesting lignocellulosic biomass by anaerobic fungi shall be constructed and operated.

This work package will be led by the Zurich University of Applied Sciences.
