Arcticzymes is developing and producing enzymes for molecular biology technologies and is consistently expanding their product selection which is why the discovery of new enzymes with novel and unique characteristics has very high priority. Fungi are known to secrete enzymes into their close environment in order to make nutrients more accessible fo uptake. Many different types of activities can be secreted by different types of fungi. Among these activities, nuclease and protease activity have the potential of getting repurposed in molecular biology technologies. The Funscreen project aims at initializing an activity screening platform based on marine fungi and the verification of how impactful such a screening approach can potentially be for a biotechnology company such as Arcticzymes.
