French biotechnology company METabolic EXplorer, which specialises in the development of new biotransformation processes for the manufacturing of organic molecules, it has entered into a new agreement to pursue its collaboration with an unnamed major European chemical company.
The 3-year collaboration will focus on improving processes for the production of biochemicals, and will used METabolic EXplorer' s proprietary metabolic flux analysis technology METflux to increase yield of fermentation products.
'This agreement represents an expansion of our relationship with this major partner: this is a new proof that our technology platform is adapted to the needs of the fermentation industry,' said Benjamin Gonzalez, president and ceo of METabolic EXplorer.
METabolic EXplorer develops new fermentation processes for the fabrication of a wide range of organic molecules traditionally produced using conventional chemistry. It develops and applies cutting edge biotechnology tools to design and engineer new biosynthetic pathways to create new whole-cell biotransformations for the substitution of existing chemical syntheses in part or as a whole.
