WHAT IS BIOTECHNOLOGY?

Biotechnology is a field of research and application that utilises biological systems, living organisms or their components to develop new products or processes. It combines knowledge from biology, chemistry and technology to create innovative solutions. Biotechnology applications include medicine, agriculture and environmental technology.

For over 25 years, we have been successfully producing micro- and macroorganisms for biological crop protection and other applications on an industrial scale using biocatalysis and fermentation processes.

PRODUCT AND PROCESS DEVELOPMENT

It always starts with an idea. Together with the respective client, we develop the idea into a product and the product into a marketable solution. The same applies to the manufacturing processes that we design and roll out together with partners. With every solution approach, we check its feasibility on an industrial scale at an early stage - and thus ensure innovations that actually pay off.

EXAMPLES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS

The fields of application for the products we produce are just as diverse as the microorganisms themselves. Here are some examples that we have realised together with our customers.

 

Applications for biological plant protection

  • Production optimisation of permanent forms (conidiospores) of fungi in submerged culture
  • Formulation of a novel biological insecticide against the wax moth (Mellonex®)
  • Industrial production of the fungus Clonostachys rosea to combat fungal diseases

 

Examples of biocatalysis applications

  • Biotechnological production of a browning agent by bacterial oxidation
  • Production of cinnamic acid by whole-cell biotransformation of L-phenylalanine
  • Production of microorganisms for the biodegradation of grease residues in wastewater pipes (LipasanF®)
