Reliable microbial manufacturing depends on more than fermentation alone. It requires an integrated manufacturing approach that considers how microorganisms are cultivated, formulated and prepared for commercial production.
TECHNOLOGY
Zymofix has developed an integrated fermentation and formulation platform designed to support reliable microbial manufacturing, from process development through to commercial production.
Introducing
Zyft is Zymofix's proprietary microbial manufacturing platform, built around next-generation solid-state fermentation and integrated formulation. It has been developed to support reliable microbial manufacturing from process development through to commercial production.
Built for manufacturing
Designed around the realities of commercial microbial production, combining fermentation and formulation within a single manufacturing platform.This helps produce microorganisms consistently, while preparing them for practical application.
The Zyft approach
Microorganisms are cultivated on standardised solid substrates in scalable bioreactors, with the substrate retained in the formulation to support quality and reduce downstream processing losses.
Developed around your microorganism
Every manufacturing process is tailored to the microorganism, product and commercial requirements, supporting production across a wide range of strains and applications.
From solid substrate
to formulated
microbial product
Every manufacturing process is developed around the biology of the microorganism and the requirements of the final product. Zyft combines process development, next-generation solid-state fermentation and integrated formulation within a single manufacturing approach.
While every project is tailored to the microorganism and the customer's requirements, development
follows a structured manufacturing process from initial assessment through to commercial production.
01
Assessment
We assess the microorganism, production requirements and commercial objectives to determine the most suitable manufacturing approach, establishing the foundations for process development and scale-up.
02
Process development
Cultivation conditions, including substrate composition, moisture, aeration and temperature, are optimised around the biology of the microorganism to support reliable, scalable production.
03
Fermentation & formulation
Microorganisms are cultivated on standardised solid substrates in scalable bioreactors. The production substrate remains part of the final formulation, helping reduce downstream processing while supporting product quality.
04
Quality assurance
Quality is monitored throughout production, with a focus on viability, purity and contamination to support consistent manufacturing performance and reliable commercial production.
05
Commercial scale-up
The manufacturing process is developed towards commercially relevant production volumes while maintaining the quality and consistency established during development, supporting reliable integration into commercial production.
What makes Zyft different
Zyft builds on solid-state fermentation with greater process control, standardised substrates and integrated formulation. This creates a more practical manufacturing route for microorganisms that may be difficult to produce through conventional liquid fermentation or traditional solid-state processes.
Standardised solid substrates
Standardised solid substrates create a more controlled and repeatable production environment, supporting reliable process development, optimisation and commercial scale-up around the needs of each microorganism.
Integrated fermentation and formulation
The production substrate can remain part of the final formulation, reducing downstream processing while supporting flexible formulation formats, including liquids, granules and seed coating ingredients, depending on the application.
Broad microorganism compatibility
Experience across bacteria, fungi and yeasts supports the evaluation and manufacture of microorganisms with different growth characteristics, production requirements and commercial applications.
End-to-end manufacturing support
Zyft supports customers from strain assessment and process development through to fermentation, formulation and commercially relevant scale-up, creating a single manufacturing pathway from early development to production.
One platform, different microbial applications
The same manufacturing platform can support microorganisms across multiple industries. Each application has different technical, regulatory and commercial requirements, so every manufacturing process is tailored to the microorganism and its intended use.
Broad experience across microbial strains
Zymofix has tested more than 170 bacterial, fungal and yeast strains for production. This breadth of experience supports the assessment of new microorganisms, identification of suitable production conditions and understanding the challenges associated with different strain types.
