PRODUCTS & SERVICES
/ Microbial strain screening: Platform to screen biocatalysts and process conditions. Typical screening includes strains producing a specific compound or able to cope with specific medium requirements (ex. use C5 carbon sources or tolerate inhibitors).
/ Process development and optimization: Strategies for maximizing productivity, yield and titer, seeking integration opportunities with raw material pretreatment and downstream processing.
/ Process scale-up, de-risking and validation: 2, 10, 50 and 250L fermenters for thorough scale-up studies and process de-risking. Access to facilities of 1,000-100,000L capacity.
Experience in diverse microbial systems, from marine bacteria to engineered yeasts, processing a variety of raw materials for the production of biopolymers, intermediate and base chemicals. We design processes to meet economical and sustainability requirements and outperform conventional petro-based processes, while ensuring scalability, reproducibility and robustness.
