REIMAGINING INDUSTRIAL FERMENTATION
Small organisms.
Extraordinary
possibilities.
We’re developing a new approach to fermentation, starting with how microbes breathe.

THE IZOTE APPROACH
Rethinking what
fermentation can do.
Oxygen delivery is a major constraint in industrial fermentation. We’re developing a different way for microbes to breathe, with manufacturing in mind from the start.

Built for manufacturing
Using a dissolved alternative to oxygen could reduce the air and mixing required during fermentation.
See what this could enable03
Molecules that matter
We develop fermentation routes to specialty ingredients, with a focus on flavors and fragrances.

FROM SCIENCE TO MANUFACTURING
Better fermentation
starts with the biology.
We bring microbial science and process engineering together.
The goal is practical: help biological production work more efficiently at industrial scale.
