Modelling and optimisation of the bioconversion of plant raw materials in an inhomogeneous environment

Several research tracks have been opened:85
 To identify new enzymes and strains better adapted to the evidenced phenomenon (in
partnership with the Biotechnology Research Institute of the National Research Council of
Canada.
 To explore other interconnected configurations, in a follow-up of Action incitative INRA INRIA ‘VITELBIO’ (web site : http://sites.google.com/site/vitelbio/) steered by the Modemic
team of UMR MISTEA.
 To take into account both active (viable) and non-active (non-viable) biocatalysts in the
model, as discussed with C. Ghommidh, a senior scientist who has recently joined UMR IATE.
 To develop a collaboration project with CBS (Biotechnology centre of Sfax, Tunisia) for a
course on mathematical modelling for bioprocesses (the Modemic team has already
welcome two PhD students in France for such a course, in the framework of the euro mediterranean project 3+3 ‘Treasure’).
