Precision Fermentation

Fermenting the future

ECBF’s precision fermentation Deep Dive takes us into the astounding possibilities offered by naturally occurring and genetically engineered microbes to produce compounds with various applications in food (dairy protein, fats, colourants), personal care & home care (lipids, active ingredients), packaging, even textiles (dyes).

Precision fermentation could possibly be the biggest environmental technology invented by humans. By using microbes as ‘cell factories’ instead of livestock agriculture or petrochemicals, we might be on the cusp of a world that will look radically different from what we’re used to.
