SINGAPORE, Aug. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Allozymes, a
leading innovator in enzyme discovery and engineering, today
announces a strategic partnership with Adisseo, one of the world's
leading animal nutrition companies, to develop groundbreaking
bioprocesses for animal feed ingredient production. This
collaboration marks a significant step towards a more sustainable
future for the animal feed industry. It is also one of its first
European partnerships since Allozymes expanded into the region
earlier this year.
In this partnership, Allozymes will design and optimize enzymes
specifically tailored to Adisseo's production needs and goals of
becoming global frontrunners. The partnership will start by
developing a novel environmental friendly process for
methionine.
Methionine is an essential amino acid crucial for animal health,
growth, and performance. However, traditional methods of methionine
production rely on chemical processes with a significant
environmental footprint.
Allozymes' cutting-edge technology leverages specially
engineered enzymes to create more efficient and environmentally
friendly manufacturing processes. Unlike traditional methods that
rely on much slower protein engineering, Allozymes uses its
proprietary microfluidics platform to develop custom enzymes with
greater functionality in a fraction of the time. This innovative
system designs, screens, and optimizes millions of enzyme
candidates simultaneously, allowing a simple way to select the one
with superior functionality.
"Our microfluidics platform allows us to quickly analyze
and optimize millions of enzyme variations concurrently. This
agility is crucial for developing customized enzymes that meet the
specific needs of our partners, like Adisseo, in a faster and more
efficient way." said Akbar Vahidi,
CTO of Allozymes.
"Our partnership with Adisseo is particularly exciting as it
coincides with our recent expansion into Europe," said Peyman
Salehian, CEO of Allozymes. "By collaborating with a global
leader in the feed additives sector, we can directly address the
global market's need for biosolutions in animal feed production.
Our innovative enzymatic platform, combined with Adisseo's
expertise, has the potential to create a significant positive
impact at a much faster rate."
"The partnership with Allozymes represents a major step forward
in our ongoing commitment to sustainable practices," said
Jean-François Rous, Executive VP Innovation at Adisseo. "Allozymes'
innovative microfluidics technology holds immense potential to
transform our productions, allowing us to meet the growing demand
for animal nutrition while minimizing our environmental
footprint."
This new collaboration builds on a first successful one which
was aimed to improve one key enzyme of a synthetic metabolic
pathway developed by Adisseo. By leveraging Allozymes'
microfluidics platform, which screened millions more variants,
Allozymes identified an enzyme which met the success criteria in
just a few months—surpassing the project's original timeline.
The new collaboration between Allozymes and Adisseo has the
potential to revolutionize the animal feed ingredient production
landscape. Bioprocesses offer a cleaner, more efficient
alternative to traditional methods, paving the way for a more
sustainable future for animal agriculture.
