Industrial fermentations based on micro-organisms such as the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play an important role in several industries globally and represent multi-billion Euro/dollar businesses. LAB provide a natural way to produce safe, sustainable, and environmentally friendly products for a variety of industries. Product innovation is a key requirement for these industries to survive and grow globally. However, the development of new products may be affected by two man-made constraints; the Nagoya Protocol on benefit sharing and the opposition to the use of modern biotechnology for strain improvement. An expert workshop was held in Amsterdam, May 10-11, 2017 to discuss these challenges; a number of conclusions and recommendations were formulated and will be presented herein.
基于微生物(如乳酸菌)的工业发酵在全球多个行业中发挥着重要作用,代表着数十亿欧元/美元的业务。LAB 为各种行业生产安全、可持续和环保的产品提供了一种自然的方式。产品创新是这些行业在全球范围内生存和发展的关键要求。然而,新产品的开发可能会受到人为的两种限制:名古屋生物多样性议定书关于利益分享和反对利用现代生物技术改良菌株。2017 年 5 月 10 日至 11 日在阿姆斯特丹举行了一次专家研讨会,讨论了这些挑战;制定了一些结论和建议,本文将予以介绍。
