A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock pile when somebody contemplates it with the idea of a cathedral in mind.

Proprietary Strain Collection

PBI has assembled a diverse library of axenically isolated marine & freshwater microorganisms that produce a variety of high-value ingredients, including omega-3 oils, antioxidants, novel actives, and biomaterials with applications in biotherapeutics, nutraceutical, food, feed, and personal care.

  • A DHA-producing strain, identified and characterized at PBI, was commercialized using the PBK plant in Gongju city, Korea.

  • Carotenoid enriched oil, extracted from one of our strains is a key ingredient in the personal care product line sold under the Stēlla Marē brand. 

  • Novel strains producing high-value biomaterials and biotherapeutic molecules are currently under different phases of development.

 Smart Cell Design Platform

One platform that produces multiple biomolecules—referred to as "Pipelines-in-a-platform"—represents a transformative approach to biopharmaceutical development. This model demonstrates a scalable, cost-effective solution to meet the increasing demand for complex biotherapeutics with customizable personalization.

Systematic, rather than random, modification

By leveraging bioinformatics tools to strategically modify metabolic pathways, we can produce a variety of desired products within a single strain. This approach not only boosts our ability to optimize production processes but also helps us achieve specific objectives in the field of biotechnology.

Pathway engineering

Our innovative approaches to strain adaptation and enhancement, along with single-cell programming, empower us to create robust strains that efficiently produce high-value products.

Phycoil Signal Process

Cultivation and Downstream Process

  • Phycoil’s proprietary PSP fermentation and related technologies address production limitations, allowing efficient biomass production in various microorganisms under controlled conditions.

  • Our optimized protocols, strain enhancement capabilities, and PSP technology allow us to maximize the production of an ingredient of choice and rapidly scale up fermentation for industrial manufacturing.
