Ingenza Partners with Cellugy to Boost Biofabricated Cellulose Production

With great pleasure, Ingenza, a leader in industrial biotech, announces that it will be working with Cellugy to quicken the development of its cutting-edge biofabricated cellulose production platform. Starting with personal care, this technology will offer a viable substitute for petrochemicals derived from fossil fuels in a variety of industrial uses. In the end, the new initiative will quicken our comprehension and refinement of bacterial cellulose manufacturing.

In order to reduce dependency on petrochemicals for a safer and healthier world, Denmark-based start-up Cellugy was founded in 2018 with the goal of creating high-performance, entirely bio-based, and biodegradable products using the power of cellulose-producing microbes. Through this partnership, Cellugy will be able to take use of Ingenza's vast expertise studying a variety of microorganisms. The primary goal of the cooperation is to determine the critical elements influencing the pathway leading to the creation of cellulose by applying various methodologies. Cellugy will receive priceless knowledge from this effort that will help them create focused strategies that will increase cellulose productivity and yield, opening the door to success and commercial feasibility.

"We are thrilled to join forces with Cellugy to explore strategies for improving bacterial cellulose production," said Cristina Serrano, Senior Scientist at Ingenza. As scientists, we view this initiative as an exciting chance to engage with a novel organism, demonstrating Ingenza's potential and furthering our ever-expanding body of technological knowledge.
