| TerraVerdae’s advanced biorefinery platform combines a novel microbial production system with unique genetic tools, powerful metabolic engineering capabilities and proprietary know-how to provide a unique industrial biotechnology platform for production of high value bio-based products. |  |
|
TerraVerdae’s unique portfolio and technical capabilities incorporate biotechnology, chemistry and engineering technologies into an advanced bio-factory for production of high value specialty chemicals, enzymes, proteins, cell products, biomaterials, and advanced biofuels.
Our technology platform links industrial microbiology, synthetic biology, biopolymer chemistry and process engineering to provide significant technical and production advantages that can dramatically improve efficiencies and reduce the cost of producing bio-based materials and chemicals. The bioprocess platform is adaptable and allows for utilization of a full range of sustainable and non-food based renewable feedstocks, from forestry biomass, and industrial, municipal, or agricultural waste. These feedstocks can generate methane or methanol through the syngas or biogas process. The TerraVerdae system can be tailored to produce a full range of high value products, including recombinant and native proteins, bioactive peptides, as well as complex or toxic cell products.  | |
| Industrial Bioprocess
TerraVerdae’s industrial bioprocess is based on a class of well characterized and ubiquitous, non-pathogenic organisms capable of utilizing reduced carbon compounds such as methane, methanol, as well as a range of other one-carbon sources. These organisms are attractive to bio-factories as they are capable of producing a range of industrially important natural products. They are also ideally suited for optimizing production of a number of high value synthetic products. TerraVerdae’s synthetic biology and metabolic engineering technology is based on a set of powerful tools including a proprietary microbial protein expression system that utilizes a highly controllable and well regulated microbial system for producing high value proteins and cell products. The system can be customized to encompass a wide range of applications. It is ideal for production of recombinant and native proteins, bioactive peptides, high GC content proteins, and complex or toxic cell products.

Polymer Composites and Industrial Chemistry TerraVerdae’s microbial system is an ideal production factory for a number of important platform chemicals and polymers. The system is highly efficient for production of a number of poly-hydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), including polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a highly interesting bio-based polymer with a range of potential applications including biodegradable plastics or as a backbone scaffold for biodegradable composites. TerraVerdae’s PHA/PHB production system is highly flexible with low production and processing cost.
