Novel bioreductions by hyperthermophilic microorganisms for the natural, specific and on-line production of fine chemicals

PYRED is a Research Project that runs for a 3-year period (01-11-2001 to 31-10-2004) in the course of 5th Framework of the European Union, Quality of Life and Management of Living Resources, key action The Cell Factory (http://www.cordis.lu/life/).
