Our Custom Fermentation & Process
At MDG, we take pride in the Bacillus strains we manufacture and grow for our customers. Our team uses only pure Bacillus cultures to produce single-strain tanks – this allows us to blend and package in-house, creating a seamless process to save our partners time and money.
Each customer has different requirements, but the steps we go through to create a solution stay the same.
Below are 4 reasons why MDG’s microbial custom fermentation process stands above the rest.
Isolation of strains
Isolating and testing a strain for purity is important to ensure what the customer sent is what we have in our laboratory before it is added to the optimization workflow. This process involves streaking customer strains to assess their purity, and growing them to confirm that the strain matches the customer’s original submission. This way, we know that the final product is exactly what the customer wants.
Optimization
Optimization in the fermentation process is crucial for maximizing efficiency, increasing product yield, and ensuring consistent quality. Fine-tuning parameters such as nutrient levels, temperature, and pH enhances the performance of Bacillus strains, leading to more cost-effective production and improved overall outcomes.
Our team selects the top-performing media identified during our optimization process and work to move them up in vessel size.
Fermentation process
MDG’s advanced fermentation capabilities allow us to create a single-strain tank and minimize the possibility of non-target organisms. Our continuous improvement efforts help deliver a precise product at the end of the fermentation process.
Commercialization for our customers
We specialize in scaling up strains for commercial success. We focus on finding the optimal media for growth and ensuring quality control throughout the process. Partnering with our customers, we help to improve processes and increase yields. Our commitment to maintaining the target strain shows clients our dedication to quality from start to finish.
