Abstract: Our understanding of enzymes has demonstrated that they help circular economy and keeping climate change issues from rising. Biotechnologically speaking, the solution is simple: to obtain an enzyme that can be added directly to, or at one of the stages of the production process of, products to make them more sustainable and environmentally friendly. However, the challenges of replacing chemical counterparts with enzymes are manifold, and constant innovation is demanded. In his presentation, M. Ferrer will briefly describe innovations in metagenomics, a technology that provide a bridge between biodiversity, circular economy and climate change mitigation. Specific examples on how metagenomics, with the help of high-throughput robotic screening platforms, supercomputers, bioinformatics, computational, accurate protein structure prediction and engineering tools, will help access and generate enzymatic diversity, will be presented.
