About
Research is on Industrial microbiology and biotechnology, focused on enzyme production by fungal Surface Adhesion Fermentation (SAF) (solid state and biofilm fermentation), including mixed fungi cultivation and cellulosic bioethanol. Most studied enzymes are cellulases, xylanases, pectinases, and recently catalases and azo dye degrading enzymes. This work also includes fungal functional genomics (transcriptomics and proteomics), molecular bioprospecting, fermentation kinetics, and SAF bioreactor design. Grants have come from international (NSF, UNIDO, GTZ, CAF) and national sources (CONCYTEC, FINCyT, FIDECOM) and from research contracts (Paramonga Ltd; Shionogi Res. Co., Japan; Quimica N...
