We use moss as a green cell factory to produce small natural products. Physcomitrella patens or spreading earthmoss) is the perfect plant for this. Using Physcomitrella we produce fine chemicals that are normally obtained from rare, endangered or non-agricultural plants.
Moss is a small plant that renders itself to easy genetic transformation. With our latest knowledge, we can easily engineer moss into an efficient producer of targeted natural products.
Our latest developments allow us to significantly speed up the number of transformations we can do. Thus, together with with small and large scale growing facilities we have a flexible and amendable technology platform.
We are a small team of highly dedicated researchers. The team holds a vast set of skills including molecular engineering, analytical chemistry, plant biology and biotechnology.
