The demand for feasible bioprocesses is continuously increasing in order to realize new production pathways, convert yet unconsidered raw materials, and allow new or advanced product portfolios. One bioprocess of major interest over the last years is the production of fuels or chemicals from biomass. One key process within this production chain is the degradation of recalcitrant cellulose to better processible soluble sugars, and cellulases are key players in the hydrolyzation of cellulose. To identify best working cellulase candidates and their production hosts a reliable screening procedure is necessary. Therefore, a robotic platform is presented, the so called “Cellulolytic RoboLector”.
