Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are increasingly recognized for their potential to solve the critical challenge agriculture is facing today – producing more with less, while reducing carbon footprint and biodiversity decline. By forming symbiotic relationships with plant roots, AMF provide a wide range of valuable services – improving nutrient mobilization Read more…
The potential of fermentation to disrupt manufacturing industries and bring the much-awaited biological revolution is being continuously validated by a large body of scientific literature, but also by market trends. The market of fermentation reached $75 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a 6.9% compound annual growth Read more…
Agriculture, food, chemicals, pharma, materials, energy – billion-dollar manufacturing industries with massive impacts – are under increasing pressure to maximize productivity while minimizing negative effects on the environment. While these industries provide key commodities for modern living, they also account for more than 80% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions Read more…
Increasing demand for biologicals has put fermentation at the forefront of biotechnology, and consequently, fermentation capacities are increasing globally. However, making fermentation a competitive solution is not just about building new and bigger facilities. It is also about fermenting better, which requires a deep understanding of the target microbe, how Read more…
Today, fermentation technology is at the heart of manufacturing industries spanning from pharmaceuticals and agriculture to biofuels and environmental management. The growing need for microbial products is pushing the boundaries of current fermentation technologies to deliver effective, stable, and safe products at scale. In order to achieve the desired outputs, Read more…
In its more than ten-thousand-year-long history, microbial fermentation has come a long way – from preserving food to becoming a cornerstone of modern biotechnology. While the foundational principles stayed the same, our growing knowledge and technological development yielded new ways of using the same tool. Advances in microbiology, process engineering, Read more…
