AB Mixed culture fermentations (MCFs) are recognised as an inexpensive means to produce high-added-valueproductsfrom low-grade biomass. However, developing a new bioprocess based on this technology is achallenging task. Although mixed cultures are advantageous when treating complex substrates in acontinuous operation, they also pose a fundamental challenge: we are not able to fully understand themechanisms that control these populations. In consequence, it is difficult to control the operation and toforesee the outcome of the process. In this context, BIOCHEM project (Figure 1) aims at designing amethodology for the development of a novel process based on MCFs focusing on two aspects: reaching ahigh productivity and achieving a high selectivity of the desired product(s)
