Genedata Joins Henkel in White Biotech Initiative
Genedata AG announced a five-year collaboration with Henkel KGaA in their Genomic Design initiative. Genedata Phylosopher`s biological data management platform shall support Genomic Design in enhancing the performance of microorganisms such as Bacillus licheniformis. Improving those key players in the biotechnological production of enzymes for detergents and cleaning agents is expected to lead to new products with qualities both consumers and environment will benefit from, like reduced energy and detergent consumption due to lower washing temperatures and better cleansing power.
The Phylosopher system will be implemented as the central infrastructure for Henkel and its research partners, to integrate all proprietary functional genomic data based on Henkel's production strains. Large data volumes of transcriptomics, metabolomics and proteomics data gathered during industrial fermentation processes can thus be processed, stored and analyzed. Moreover, the data generated will aid metabolic reconstruction and a better understanding of critical regulatory networks, paving the way to identifying and eliminating the factors that limit production yields.
