WoodZymes

The WoodZymes
Project is a Research & Innovation Action funded by the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking,

a Public-Private Partnership between the EU (under H2020 framework programme) and the Bio-based Industries Consortium. Within this project, eleven participants from four European countries join efforts to develop and provide the wood industries with “WOOD transforming enZYMES” able to work under extreme operation conditions (i.e. extremozymes).
