Verdezyne'produces Adipic acid biologically

摘要

Verdezyne, Inc., a privately-held synthetic biology company developing processes for renewable chemicals and fuels, has announced development of a new fermentation process for the production of adipic acid. Verdezyne achieved proof of concept in this development program by demonstrating production and recovery of adipic acid by a yeast microorganism from an alkane feedstock. Using proprietary technologies, Verdezyne discovered, and is engineering a proprietary metabolic pathway, that can utilize sugar, plant-based oils or alkanes.
