Cooperation of W42 with VIBALOGICS for Recombinant Protein Expression

W42 Industrial Biotechnology has entered into an exclusive partnership with Vibalogics for the provision of protein production using the expression system Pichia pastoris. With this cooperation, quick strain development for high-level recombinant protein expression is offered. After stable genomic integration one can direct the protein either to the intracellular or to the extracellular compartment. Vibalogics offers process and analytical development of the developed strain and also small scale GMP productions. For more information please visit www.vibalogics.com

Rational strain improvement for industrial Cephalosporin C (CPC) production

W42 Industrial Biotechnology has started the rational strain improvement of the industrial CPC producer Acremonium chrysogenum. By inactivation of selected genes and/or integration of additional gene copies the production pattern and total yield will be improved. First promising strain variants are already established for our partners in the P.R. China.
