Research and development of composite nanofiber structures for microorganism’s technological applicability enhancement

The purpose of the project is to broaden the utility of material composite nanotechnologies in biotechnology applications, specifically in viticulture, through technic solutions allowing more eficient, easier, and reliable manipulation of wine-making yeast-biomass providing stress free and highly efficient wine production. The objectiveof the project is to develop technic solutions for modern wine-making approaches and by designing advanced biomass carriers, based on a nanotechnology material platform, which will: • allow for otimal wine-yeast collection thanks to the high material affinity, • allow for gentle and long-term conservation of production yeast-strains, and • simplify technological applications of the said carrier for the reviving of such conserved biomass.

This project is funded with state support from the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic under the TREND Programme.
