Using Biotechnology to Custom Design Consumables for Multiple Markets
We are currently looking for a commercialization partner. Our goal is to become a distributed bio-manufacturing facility with headquarters located in the Hudson Valley. We are seeking a commercialization partner(s) that have either idustrial enzyme manufacturing experience and / or use industrial enzymes in their process.
Our patent pending technology platform is based on the idea that we can develop better products by combining biological molecules with desired properties into one product called fusion enzymes. We design and construct fusion enzymes based on industrial process parameters. That means our enzymes are designed to work in a commercial process and by combining desired activities into one molecule reduces manufacturing and operating costs.
We believe that offering customers on-site enzyme manufacturing services can reduce the cost of consumables by 60% - 90% because downstream processing efforts are not required. Combining the on-site service with fusion enzyme use may provide another 30% - 50% reduction in enzyme costs.
In fact our technology is partially funded by the Department of Energy (DoE). C2 Biotechnologies, LLC was just awarded a Phase I Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant for $100,000. Over the course of 9 months we will use our technology platform to construct a cellulosic fusion enzyme. Enzymatic hydroylosis od cellulose requires at least three activities. By combining tw or more activities into one molecule may reduce enzyme costs by 30%.
We are seeking a commercialization partner(s) that are interested in working with us to bring our technologies to market.
