GlycosBio Technology:
High Value Chemicals Through Fermentation
We
use microorganisms (bacteria) to make high value chemicals through
fermentation processes. These microorganisms are non-pathogenic
(safe) and have been used for years to make drugs, chemicals, and
enzymes used in food products and laundry detergents. Our novel
approach allows economical conversion of waste streams into chemicals
including fuels, surfactants, and building blocks for biodegradable
and non-degradable plastics. We are in the process of building a
pilot plant to demonstrate the ability to economically manufacture
large quantities of these chemicals in a more environmentally friendly
manner, with less CO2 production (sometimes absorbing
CO2 from the atmosphere). Our products can be substituted
for petrochemical derived chemicals either as a final product or
in an intermediate step in the manufacturing process with 100% equivalent
performance of the final products, some of which have multi $billion
market sizes.
The ability to tailor our production by engineering bacteria
allows us to build market-responsive biofactories with local feedstock
and chemical market
demand in mind.
