GlycosBio has created a platform that can consume carbon from multiple non-sugar feedstock sources to produce a variety of chemical products. This approach not only eliminates the risk of a sugar-only based feedstock strategy but also provides product flexibility and a larger addressable market opportunity for producers. In addition, GlycosBio’s technology platform has been shown to be cost competitive with the petrochemical industry, while maintaining 45-55% gross margins from plant operations.

By using our proprietary microbes and bioprocess technologies as an alternative to conventional petrochemical-based manufacturing processes, GlycosBio has invented a sustainable and cost-efficient approach to the production of next generation bio-products. Through the creation of biologically balanced pathways inside the microbe we have been able to uniquely develop microorganisms that naturally produce the desired end-products.

GlycosBio uses only microorganisms that are non-pathogenic and have been used for years to make drugs, chemicals, and enzymes for food products and detergents. GlycosBio is focused on the production of specialty chemicals that can be used as building blocks for a wide range of applications including biodegradable and non-degradable plastics. In addition, other applications for GlycosBio’s chemicals include surfactants and fuels such as advanced ethanol.
