EV biotech and DAB.bio partner to co-develop a strain and fermentation process for monoterpene production

News /

DANU strain engineering is partnering with  Delft Advanced Biorenewables (DAB.bio) to design a microbial strain and process for the sustainable and cost-effective production of a bio-based fragrant monoterpene to be used in insect repellent or perfumery. The monoterpene typically inhibits microorganism growth and production, necessitating continuous removal from the fermentation broth. Extracting a product continuously from a fermenter
