With backing from BioMADE, the achievement represents a significant step toward decarbonizing one of the chemical industry’s most ubiquitous materials.
In collaboration with the Integrated Bioprocessing Research Lab (IBRL), iMicrobes has rapidly scaled its proprietary bioprocess from gram-scale to 20-kilogram production batches, while expanding fermenter volume from 2-liter to 1,500-liter reactors. This dramatic 750x increase demonstrates the technology’s scalability for commercial deployment.
