3. Biotechnological applications of halophiles

3.1 Applications and production

Biomolecules of biotechnological and industrial interest are traditionally produced from single-cell organisms.

The "classical" approach is based on the cultivation of halophilic strains isolated from the environment and available in international strain collections that have demonstrated particular properties. At present, the production of molecules of biotechnological and industrial interest is based on fermentation reactor processes using conventional and non-conventional substrates under optimized culture conditions. This type of production requires fermentation volumes that can exceed several hundred m 3 , with large gas and liquid flows (medium with substrate(s)) and the solid...
