Kurzfassung englisch:
Textile industry is a large sector of economy, having a global impact with its operation. Dying of textiles creates enormous environmental pollution as it involves toxic chemicals such as azodyes or heavy metals. Development of alternatives is of utmost importance for reducing pollution and lowering environmental impact of this globally acting industry branch.
At the Institute of Applied Synthetic Chemistry environmentally-friendly tools for synthesis are explored, such as multi-step biocatalysis or whole-cell systems. Microorganisms applied as biosynthesis factories may provide solutions for difficult synthetic tasks such as the production of complex dye molecules. Bacteria like Janthinobacterium lividum or Serratia marcescens were reported to produce coloured metabolites that can be used for textile dying. Producing colorants by fermentation instead of petroleum-based chemistry offers substantial improvements in environmental impact by consuming renewable resources and saving energy in the process.
