The Real Science of Custom Fermentation

Real Science, Trusted Process, Proven Success. These are the promises we make to each of our customers when they partner with MDG, and in custom fermentation, our focus on Real Science shines through. We’re experts in the precise, complex process of growing and commercially scaling up microbial strains, using novel technologies and exploring new ideas to help you succeed. Check out a few aspects of MDG’s Real Science in custom fermentation:

Strain Purity

Our practice for maintaining microbial strain purity during growth and production is robust and meticulous. With our trusted methods, we’re able to ensure that your final product is exactly what you intended by screening for non-target organisms and making the effort to confirm your strain’s purity at multiple points during the process.

Process Development

This 12-week process happens before strains even reach our commercial-scale tanks. Our microbiologists find the best medium to maximize your strain’s growth, and they conduct numerous tests to find the optimal environmental variables. At the end of this streamlined workflow, your strain is ready to be scaled up!

Drying Techniques

Depending on the final product you’re aiming for, the drying technique for your microbial culture may differ. At MDG, we offer two methods that suit our partners’ needs: spray drying and freeze drying. Each have their own unique benefits, and no matter which one you choose, you can be confident that you’ll receive a dried final product that exceeds your expectations.

Partner with MDG

These are just a few of the many ways we emphasize Real Science in our daily work at MDG. Innovation and research are at the core of what we do, and we’re proud to share the knowledge that results from those efforts with our partners. If you’re looking for a contract manufacturer dedicated to delivering you a high-quality final product that will bolster your business’s success, contact us today! We’re looking forward to working with you.

MDG is the Bacillus solution that helps you scale and streamline without sacrificing product effectiveness.
