Different from conventional synthetic small molecules, the small molecules obtained through fermentation, produced in the culture of living cells, are usually more bioactive and cost-effective. The development of fermented chemicals could better meet the research needs in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, animal feed, and material science.
One of BOC Sciences' focus is the expression of small molecules via fermentation. We have been exploring systems that allow the expression of small molecules that were previously only accessible via chemical synthesis.
