[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=\u201d\u201d]The search for microorganisms with differentiated functional properties is currently one of the main drivers of innovation in the food, pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. In this context, within the BIOPROSPECT<\/strong> project we have worked on the identification, characterisation and functional validation of new microbial strains through advanced microbial bioprospecting strategies<\/strong>, combined with technological tools that streamline and optimise their evaluation.<\/p>\n

BIOPROSPECT has enabled us to expand knowledge and obtain lactic acid bacteria (LAB)<\/strong> with fermentative and probiotic potential, while also developing an automated platform for microbial growth screening and monitoring<\/strong>, clearly oriented towards future industrial application.<\/p>\n

In this video, we present the main results of the project and the technological approach developed to identify and evaluate microorganisms of interest from deep marine environments and human samples<\/strong>, as well as their potential to generate new biotechnological solutions.<\/p>\n
