Industrial processes mediated by micro-organisms

We work on the implementation, optimisation and study of different microbial processes of interest to industry. These processes include:

  • Fermentation
  • Biocementation
  • Biocorrosion
  • Generation of bioplastics
  • Processes related to green chemistry (biosurfactants, biodetergence, etc.)
  • Biological water purification processes
  • Treatment of contaminated soils and industrial waste by micro-organisms (bioremediation)

We also carry out diagnostic work, isolation and control of microbial contaminants in industrial processes in various sectors (food, cosmetics and personal hygiene). We carry out studies to control the development of microbial biofilm in installations or liquid flow conduction systems and we evaluate antibiofilm treatments in order to guarantee the proper sanitisation of the installations.

Finally, GAIKER proposes advanced measures to improve routine quality and safety controls of industrial facilities:

  • We identify critical points at the facilities that could be a source of contamination through pathogenic microorganisms.
  • We study the pathogen externally in the form of a biofilm in the laboratory.
  • We verify the antibiofilm efficacy of commercial products to improve cleaning and disinfection processes against isolated pathogens.
