Biotechnology and industrial fermentation: from development to large-scale production

Biotechnology enables the potential of living organisms to be harnessed on an industrial scale.
‍
Developing a microbial strain in the laboratory is the first step. Industrialising it, producing it in a reproducible manner and ensuring its stability, is another.
‍
Proxis Développement’s biotechnology division supports companies in this key phase: transforming a strain into a stable microbiological ingredient, produced on a large scale through industrial fermentation.

Living organisms: an infinite source of innovation

Industrial fermentation is now key in many markets.
Producing live microorganisms reliably, stably and at on a largescale constitutes industrial expertise at the interface of microbiology and process engineering.
‍
We provide microorganism production for:
‍

  • Agriculture: biosolutions (biostimulants, biofertilisers), biocontrol

  • Agri-food: lactic acid bacteria and alternatives

  • Nutrition and dietary supplements

  • Animal health

  • Bioremediation and environmental applications

  • Cosmetics

‍
Our objective: to ensure a smooth transition to industrial scale and guarantee the reproducibility of biological performance.

From R&D to industrial upscaling: comprehensive and controlled support

Industrialisation in biotechnology relies on a complete chain of expertise, from R&D to industrial tools.
