Hyperthermics' microbiologist Max Strick in action. At best, we can find relevant bacteria in very shallow water.

As many of our acquaintances know, Hyperthermophilic bacteria are the backbone of Hyperthermics' unique biotechnology. But bacteria are living organisms. They come in wide varieties with different characteristics.

One of the methods Hyperthermics uses to improve our technology is to find new and more effective hyperthermophilic bacteria for different topics. These are bacteria that can help produce more bioenergy in less time, bacteria that increase quantity and quality in protein production, and bacteria that can break down new and more demanding substrates.

You may call it more customer-friendly organisms.

With a 10.6 mill NOK financial support from the Research Council of Norway, a team of researchers from the Hyperthermics laboratory in Regensburg and researchers from the University of Marseilles went on an expedition to areas by the Mediterranean.

To find new strains, they used samples of the targeted biomasses that correspond to the biomass one or more of our customers will convert to biogas or proteins. These biomasses were placed in a sampling “trap”.

We will not reveal what the team found, let alone where they found it, but the laboratories in Regensburg and Marseilles have a bit of everything to work with in the future.
