OUR BLUEPRINT FOR TRANSFORMATIVE SOLUTIONS

high performance strain platform

Our strain platform, featuring Trichoderma reesei, Pichia pastoris, and Bacillus subtilis, achieves industrial-scale titers of up to 100 g/L, ensuring reliable production of proteins and enzymes for diverse applications.

industry-leading, ultra-fast prototyping

We specialize in rapid proof-of-concept development, delivering functional enzyme and protein candidates from target selection to small-scale production in unprecedented time.

real world application assays

Our platform includes application-specific assays to validate product performance in real-world conditions, such as hydrolysis efficiency for feedstocks or protein functionality for food processing.

scalable across industries

From biofuels to food and feed, our solutions are tailored for scalability, ensuring seamless transitions from lab-scale validation to industrial-scale production.

Our Strain Platform

Trichoderma
Trichoderma reesei, a filamentous fungus, is pivotal in our biotechnological applications due to its innate ability to produce enzymes at elevated titers. Leveraging its cellulolytic system, our platform facilitates efficient biomass hydrolysis. Additionally, through advanced genetic engineering techniques, we harness T. reesei's capacity to overexpress both native and heterologous proteins, ensuring optimal yields tailored to the sector's specifications.

Pichia
The methylotrophic yeast, Pichia pastoris, serves as a robust host in our platform for recombinant protein expression. Its genetic and physiological attributes allow for high-density fermentation, resulting in a clean supernatant devoid of undesirable enzymatic side activities. This ensures the production of high-purity enzymes, meeting the stringent requirements of diverse industrial applications.
