BRYOMOLECULES focuses on European bryophytes to conduct the first large-scale, systematic search for bioactive compounds with high potential for the bioeconomy sector as ingredients of cosmetics and pharmaceutics.
The main goal is to create sustainable, bio-based production methods for BACs, minimizing environmental impact and reducing reliance on wild harvesting. The project will also contribute to the development of new, eco-friendly products through research and collaboration.
By establishing sterile, axenic cultures and identifying the relevant biosynthetic pathways of bioactive compounds, the project seeks to overcome the challenges of low natural growth rates and the difficulties in large-scale extraction., while enhancing the conservation of European bryophyte biodiversity.
BRYOMOLECULES is set to advance scientific knowledge and industrial applications, leading to future innovations in the bioeconomy.
