- Fermentation isn't only yeast, bacteria or fungi. Plant cells can grow in a bioreactor too. Starting from a small piece of plant tissue, cells are grown on plates, transferred to liquid medium and scaled up in a bioreactor. The result: plant compounds produced in a controlled, reproducible way, independent of season, climate or harvest. At Biolynx we see fermentation as a toolbox, not a single organism, and plant cells are one of its most promising tools. Which plant-based ingredient would you like to see produced this way?
- Meet the Biolynx team Every team has that one person who keeps everything together. At Biolynx, that’s Sara. Sara has been part of Biolynx for four years now, and over that time she has become the mom of our group, because she is the glue between all of us. A quick chat, a small problem, a question you’re not sure who to ask? You go to Sara. Within the lab, Sara works on the ACTPAC project. Her interest in fermentation and plastics goes back to her previous job, and she brings that experience to everything she does here. But Sara’s
- Learning from each other, every quarter At Biolynx we work on a wide range of projects, from bacteriophage research to plant research to fermentation and side stream valorisation. With so much happening in parallel, it is easy to lose sight of what the colleague next door is working on. That is why every two to three months we take time for a project overview. Each team presents where they stand, what they learned, what went wrong and what comes next. Why do we do this? 🔹 To broaden the expertise within Biolynx, so knowledge does
- Happy World Fungi Day! Today, we're taking a moment to appreciate one of nature's finest creations: fungi. Often overlooked, sometimes strange-looking, and occasionally spectacular. Fungi come in an incredible variety of shapes, colours and structures. And as people working with microorganisms every day, we might be a little biased… but we think they're pretty fascinating. So instead of talking about them today, we'll simply let you see some microscope pictures. Swipe through and take a closer look at the beautiful world of

- When people think about biotechnology, they often picture the final product. A new ingredient. A sustainable material. A therapeutic. An enzyme. But behind every successful innovation lies something much less visible. Months of optimisation. Hundreds of fermentation parameters. Analytical data. Process improvements. Failed experiments. Because in biotechnology, discovering something is only half the journey. Making it reproducible, scalable and economically viable is where the real work begins. That's why industrial microbiology
- 𝗔 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗻! The first days are already behind us, and students have started settling into new classrooms, meeting new people, and taking on exciting challenges. Even though our own school days may be behind us, that excitement of learning something new never really disappears. At Biolynx, we embrace that same mindset every day. In R&D, curiosity drives everything we do. Every experiment teaches us something, every challenge brings new insights, and every project is an
- How can AI become smarter and more sustainable in agriculture? We're excited to share our latest blog post as part of the RAIDO Project, now live on the RAIDO website! The article explores how RAIDO is developing intelligent AI solutions that improve efficiency while reducing the computational resources needed for agricultural applications — helping to make digital farming both smarter and more sustainable. At Biolynx, we're proud to contribute to this European project by developing and validating AI-powered monitoring
