PR97180
YICHANG, China, July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Angel Yeast<https://en.angelyeast.com/> (SH600298), a globally listed yeast and
yeast extract manufacturer, has inked an agreement with Bejing PhaBuilder
Biotechnology Co., Ltd (PhaBuilder) in Yichang, Hubei province to build a large
manufacturing base for polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in the city. The pair will
set up a joint venture company to drive the application of synthetic biology in
the biotechnology industry.
PHA is a polyester produced naturally by microorganisms. The biodegradable and
biocompatible properties of PHA make it highly sought-after in fields such as
biomedical material and biodegradable packaging material.
"This collaboration with PhaBuilder marks a milestone and a significant step
forward for Angel Yeast in synthetic biology. At Angel Yeast, we are very keen
on innovation and exploration of new landscapes in the industry. This project
is also part of our efforts to be an international and professional
biotechnology company," said Tao Xiong, chairman of Angel Yeast.
He added that the partnership is expected to forge a new venture in bioeconomy,
fuel innovation in synthetic biology, and drive the expansion of the global
market.
Guoqiang Chen, the founder of PhaBuilder, added that by working with Angel
Yeast on the initiative, major inroads have been made in converting technology
breakthroughs into industrial programs for synthetic biology.
"The new production line of PHA with the capacity of 30,000 tons will certainly
bring more advanced technologies, new services and products for the industry
and consumers. It will also create a 'greener' lifestyle. We are thrilled to
see it happen," said Chen.
In addition to synthetic biology, Angel Yeast has also been exploring
cutting-edge development in biological agriculture. According to the company,
it will be engaged in a project to produce animal feed through biological
fermentation. Angel Yeast will invest some 120 million yuan to build the
manufacturing center with an annual capacity of 50,000 tons.
The project is estimated to start in August 2022 and to be completed in
September the next year. One highlight of the project is that it uses
Distillers' Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) as one raw material to produce
yeast culture products. As a new category, yeast culture products will
diversify the company's animal nutrition products lineup.
