Process Development

Develop Cost-Effective Processes

A wide variety of ingredients produced through precision fermentation, synthetic biology, and biomanufacturing
At Amyris, we develop technology with the end in mind. That means a building a deep understanding of product profile requirements from the market, and it means leveraging our decades of learnings from scale-up and manufacturing to ensure we are developing processes that scale with total fidelity.

Fermentation Process Development

We have developed fermentation processes for hundreds of microbial strains, fine-tuning our processes to deliver high yields, fast production rates, and unmatched product profiles. We’ve managed water-soluble, oil-soluble, crystalline, liquid, intracellular, extracellular, and growth-inhibitory products. Our processes mirror large-scale manufacturing conditions, ensuring smooth scale-up, predictable results, and confidence in every strain we develop.

Downstream Purification Development

With experience purifying compounds across a wide range of physicochemical properties, our purification platforms speed development, reduce complexity and cost, and deliver on stringent customer specifications and consumer expectations. Sophisticated impurity identification profiling enables us to rapidly optimize purification processes and provide feedback to strain and enzyme engineers on their next round of engineering.
