The alternative
protein ecosystem

Christoph Ottenheim

Researcher

Within the Biotransformation Capability Group, our team specializes in Submerged Fermentation and Downstream Processing, employing bacteria, yeast, and, to a lesser extent, filamentous fungi. We have expertise in working with both genetically modified organisms (GMO) and non-GMO strains for biomass fermentation and precision fermentation. Our focus extends beyond alternative proteins, encompassing the production of supporting molecules such as high-value ingredients (e.g., flavors) and alternative lipids (Single-cell oils and specialty lipids). Additionally, we actively explore alternative feedstocks, including simple liquid molecules and gaseous substrates. Our capabilities range from benchscale operations (50 ml – 10L) to pilot-scale production (200L).
