Services

End-to-end solutions for precision fermentation applications, from strain development to contract manufacturing.

Livzym helps biotechnology companies and startups take a microbial production system from the first laboratory studies to robust industrial production. We develop and optimize strains, build the fermentation process around them, scale it up in our own pilot and production facility, and manufacture on your behalf as a contract manufacturing organization.

Strain Development

We specialize in developing optimized microbial strains tailored to meet specific industrial needs. Our strain development services leverage advanced genetic engineering techniques to improve the performance of microorganisms for the production of enzymes, bio-based products, and other biotechnological applications.

By partnering with Livzym for strain development, you gain access to our state-of-the-art facilities and expertise in microorganism engineering. We help you achieve higher yields, lower production costs, and more sustainable bioprocesses, ensuring your success in competitive markets.

Process Development

Livzym provides comprehensive fermentation process development services, helping customers transform promising microbial production systems into robust, efficient, and scalable manufacturing processes. From initial laboratory studies to pilot-scale validation and industrial scale-up, we develop tailored fermentation strategies that improve productivity, product yield, and quality while supporting consistent and cost-effective production.

Our capabilities are supported by in-house molecular biology, microbiology, and analytical and quality control laboratories. Our experience includes fermentation process development and optimization for a range of microorganisms, including:

  • Aspergillus oryzae
  • Trichoderma reesei
  • Lactobacillus species
  • Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

  • Media Optimization

    Systematic optimization of carbon and nitrogen sources, minerals, trace elements, antifoams, and other process-specific components to support high cell density, enhance product formation, maximize yield, and ensure robust and consistent fermentation performance, using design of experiments at laboratory and pilot scale.

  • Upstream Process Development

    From inoculum development and seed-train strategies to fermentation optimization, we develop reproducible upstream processes tailored to your microbial production system, systematically optimizing critical parameters such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, agitation, aeration, feeding, and process timing to improve productivity and process robustness.

  • Downstream Process Development

    We define the downstream requirements during process development to ensure efficient recovery and purification of the target product and to maximize overall process yield.

  • Spray Drying

    Pilot- and production-scale spray drying lets us develop and optimize the drying step alongside fermentation and downstream processing, so the whole workflow is proven within the same facility.

Scale-up

We provide expert scale-up services to support biotech companies and startups in transitioning from pilot to large-scale production. With our extensive experience in fermentation processes, we ensure an efficient and smooth scale-up for a wide range of microbial-based products, including enzymes and alternative proteins.
