Precision fermentation

Bee-free honey produced ex vivo by precision fermentation: recombinant bee enzymes (invertase, glucose oxidase) expressed in Pichia pastoris convert a blended plant-sugar and phytochemical base into a vegan, hypoallergenic honey chemically identical to the natural product.

Plant-based and fermentation-derived protein sources designed to replicate the sensory and nutritional profiles of animal products.

Bio-based dyes and pigments produced via microbial fermentation and synthetic biology.

Producing CBD, THC and rare cannabinoids (CBG, CBDV, THCV) as platform molecules via engineered yeast fermentation and chemo-enzymatic synthesis, bypassing plant cultivation.

Yeast- and algae-fermented triglyceride oils that reproduce the fatty-acid profile of palm oil, offering deforestation-free B2B fats for food, cosmetics and biofuels.

High-value molecules — flavors, fragrances, food ingredients and bio-based monomers — produced by precision fermentation, biocatalysis and lignocellulose biorefinery from renewable carbon instead of petrochemicals or extraction.

Fermentation-derived hyaluronic acid, recombinant collagen, bio-squalane and ingestible actives replacing animal- and petrochemical-derived cosmetic ingredients across China, the US and the EU.

Cell-cultured and precision-fermented animal proteins are entering pet food ahead of human food in several markets — the UK became the first European country to approve cultivated meat for sale, in pet food, in 2024.

Rational design and optimization of microbial metabolic pathways to produce high-value chemicals, advanced materials, and alternative proteins at industrial scale.

Engineered yeast and fungi now express the bioactive milk proteins — above all lactoferrin, the iron-binding 'pink gold' that is just 1 percent of whey and historically over 650 US dollars a kilo — that close the gap between infant formula and breast milk, with the first US FDA GRAS no-questions letters (TurtleTree 2025, All G 2026) and the Nestlé-Helaina and Novonesis-TurtleTree partnerships moving precision-fermented ingredients from B2B supply into finished early-life nutrition.

High-performance protein fibers spun from microbially fermented spidroins — matching the tensile strength of steel and the toughness of Kevlar at a fraction of the weight, without farming spiders.
