Grow Your Strain with Us!

At MDG, we take pride in the microbial strains we manufacture and grow for our customers. With our dedication to Real Science and a Trusted Process developed over our 20+ years of experience, we deliver Proven Success to our partners. When you choose MDG, you can expect your organism to undergo:

  • Isolation: We test for strain purity and ensure that the sample we’ve grown and streaked out in the lab matches your intended strain.
  • Optimization: To maximize efficiency throughout the process, we identify optimal growth media and conditions for your organism using our pilot-scale equipment.
  • Growth: Our experts create single-strain tanks to ensure only the target organism is present in the final product.
  • Commercialization: We specialize in scaling up strains for commercial success, partnering with you along the way to help improve processes and increase yields.

While we’re experts in Bacillus, we can also work with non-Bacillus organisms. No matter what your needs are, we are dedicated to helping you go from strain to sales efficiently, effectively, and economically.

What Sets Us Apart

Rapid Scale-Up

Once you have found the perfect strain, the final step to commercialization is to scale your product. We have the team and facilities to allow you to scale rapidly, accurately, and economically. From pilot scale product to customer trials to manufacturing scale, once you are ready to go to market, MDG has you covered.

Capacity

With 35,000 liters (and growing) of large-scale fermentation capability and the downstream process to match, MDG can provide our clients with speedy turnaround times. Getting strains out the door in 90 days or less makes your final stage to manufacturing a seamless process.

Certifications

MDG is FSMA-compliant and HACCP-certified for food and feed cultures and products. GMP is a core element of FSMA and HACCP. It covers everything from the cleanliness of the facility to the handling of ingredients and finished products. At MDG, GMP is implemented for all production processes, regardless of market.

In-House Blending and Packaging

The need to outsource has become a thing of the past for MDG customers. Our fermentation capabilities are complemented by our extensive in-house downstream processes. This saves our customers time and money by providing various blending and packaging capabilities in-house.
