Welcome To GlycosBio™

Redefining the Chemical Industry Through Biotechnology

Glycos Biotechnologies, Inc. ("GlycosBio") is dedicated to building a new way of making chemicals – using biotechnology to produce high-value fuels and chemicals from disadvantaged but sustainable feedstocks. The Company’s portfolio of microorganisms produce a variety of high-value chemicals from carbon sources contained in a diverse set of feedstocks and co-products that are traditionally considered low value or underutilized. That future is now.

By not following the typical “sugars” based fermentation research, GlycosBio has discovered and protected metabolic pathways and biological processes around an abundant diversified set of feedstocks, like glycerin embedded within thin stillage or condensed syrup, from the ethanol industry, co-product streams from the oleochemicals industry, such as gums, fatty acids and even crude extracts from animal and plant sources. By bioprocessing these diversified feedstocks greater cost savings are possible supporting greater product flexibility.

Our technology also works equally well with oil from algal sources; with the addition of biodiesel glycerin these diversified materials align well with our non-foodstuffs feedstock – microorganism development strategy.
