Amylase Fusion Enzyme
This non-disruptive technology encompasses an expression vector encoding a bi-functional amylase or fusion enzyme. The amylase fusion enzyme is unique because it can digest starch over a very wide range of temperatures (70C-100C). This property makes the fusion enzyme easier to use and improves glucose production. The fusion gene has been synthesized with bacillus codon bias facilitating enzyme expression in bacillus expression systems. A signal sequence directs enzyme expression to the culture media reducing down stream processing costs.2 Biotechnologies (C2B), LLC seeks partner to license the marketing, sales and distribution of the amylase fusion enzyme technology. Scientists at C2B have engineered a new amylase fusion enzyme that operates over a very broad range of temperatures. This property makes it easier to use especially during large mashing operations and results in increased yields while reducing operating costs. Up front licensing costs are based on licensee market and anticipated to cover manufacturing set up.
