What is Precision Fermentation Consulting?

• Precision fermentation consulting entails advising companies on utilizing fermentation technology to manufacture valuable polymeric materials, proteins, enzymes, and other high-value chemicals. By using a microbial platform, the process of fermenting will enable the company to produce consistently and sustainably high-end outputs of their food, pharmaceuticals, and biotech products. A consultant brings knowledge of how to select specific strains to optimize bioprocessing techniques, as well as scaling processes from the lab to commercial production.
• The consulting service incorporates innovative science-based methods into practical, industry-wide practices. Precision fermentation consulting will help clients to identify which microbes will work best for their intended product; design a bioreactor based on the culture conditions used during the fermentation period; and optimize culture conditions for maximal fermentation efficiency. Additionally, when creating a new product, precision fermentation consultants' clientele will receive guidance regarding the various regulations (and regulatory bodies) associated with it, including but not limited to product safety, labelling, and any other quality assurance type of requirements necessary to get their product to market. Therefore, precision fermentation consulting not only provides the client with technical assistance but also provides support throughout the strategy development, project management, and successful commercialization phases of new biotechnology companies.
