We are interested to join a consortium with our fermentation facilities and scale-up capabilities. As a fermentation based R&D department, we have 3-1500 L bioreactor systems with corresponding downstream units, enabling comprehensive assessment and conduction of various operational approaches from lab to industrial scales. We can conduct fermentations with bacteria, yeast, filamentous fungi and have participated in both national and international funded projects. We also have conducted microbial fermentations with food wastes and have expertise in waste stream valorization.
