Example call text:KBBE.2012.3.2-02: Improved cultivation efficiency of marine microorganismsMany of the bioactive compounds of interest for the marine biotechnology industry are produced by microorganisms that cannot currently be cultured. This presents a major bottleneck for industries in this sector, which require a reliable supply of compounds with sufficiently high volumetric productivities and purity specifications.To address this challenge a significant, integrated effort is needed to improve the culture efficiency of marine microorganisms. This effort should include issues such as: radical changes in isolation rate; innovative high throughput culture mimicking nature; improving understanding of the cell-to-cell communication in the microbial world; and development of innovative procedures that enable the combination of these optimised methods with specific devices and robotics. The project will embrace these research priorities and integrate them within the context of specific industrial applications.Dissemination of the results and activities to users, industries, firms (SMEs in particular) and citizens leading to a better exploitation of research and raising awareness of its potential should be taken on board within the project.Funding scheme: Collaborative Project (large-scale integrating project targeted to SMEs)Additional information: Up to one project may be funded.Additional eligibility criteria: The requested European Union contribution shall not exceedEUR 9 000 000. SME-targeted collaborative projects will only be selected for funding on the condition that the EU contribution going to SME(s) is 25% of the total estimated EU contribution for the project as a whole. This will be assessed at the end of the negotiation, before the signature of the grant agreement. Proposals not fulfilling this criterion will not be funded.Expected impact: The project will strengthen the competitiveness of European industry, by providing a science and technology base for the development products for the rapidly increasing world market for biotech products. Close collaboration in research between European biotechnology industries and leading research institutions will reinforce the scientific and technological excellence and also the industrial and economic potential of the research.
