Review BlueCompetition 2011
- Stephan Hüttel, Department of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology from the University of Saarland
The BlueCompetition was a big success for Bioprocessing and BlueSens.
The winning scientific groups of the BlueCompetition 2011 have been selected by the independent jury. It was a really close run but finally Stephan Hüttel from the Department of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology from the University of Saarland, Germany under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Rolf Müller took the first place. The department will receive a prize money of Euro 5,000 for their scientific work from BlueSens.
The complete abstract "Methods to optimize myxobacterial fermentations using off-gas analysis" of the work group can be downloaded and read on the page of microbialcellfactories.com from now on. The abstract is exceeding the content of the project report of the BlueCompetition.
The runner-up is the workgroup of Florian David and Juniorprof. Dr. Ing. Ezequiel Franco-Lara from the Institute of Biochemical Engineering at the TU Braunschweig in Germany. The Research Institute on Bioengineering, Membrane Technology and Energetics University of Pannonia in Hungary with the group members Péter Bakonyi, Nándor Nemestóthy and Dr. Katalin Bélafi-Bakó could take the third place.
A total of 9,000 Euro was awarded to all the winning groups.
