Industrial biotechnology specialist Ingenza is collaborating with Cellugy, a Danish start-up, to accelerate the development of the latter’s platform for the production biofabricated cellulose. This ultimately aims to provide a sustainable alternative to fossil-based petrochemicals in various industrial applications, starting with personal care.
The focus will be on implementing different techniques to identify key factors influencing the cellulose production pathway using microorganisms. Cellugy said that it will “gain invaluable insights into formulate targeted strategies aimed at improving cellulose yield and productivity, paving the way for commercial viability and success”.
