At the Vorholt Lab (Institute of Microbiology, ETH Zurich), researchers are engineering *Escherichia coli* to efficiently utilize green methanol as a sustainable one-carbon feedstock. Using the fermSYS VOC sensor for real-time methanol monitoring, the team gains continuous process insights that accelerate strain development and optimize fermentation strategies—advancing sustainable biomanufacturing and supporting the transition to a circular carbon economy.

Explore how 'Real-time insight into bioprocesses via VOC sensing is becoming reality.' with cutting-edge VOC sensing tech for smarter bioprocessing.

With the fermSYS Buddy a direct, IoT-based coupling of VOC sensors and pump actuators enables dynamic control of the methanol supply, consistently maintaining concentrations within the optimal range.
