ETA has recently launched a webpage highlighting the benefits of biotechnology in enzyme production. Using the modern biotechnology toolbox enables commercialization of a wide diversity of enzymes found in nature that otherwise could not be produced at scale. Using targeted methods such as genetic engineering, gene editing and/or protein engineering, also allows for better definition and control to maximize the product efficacy and performance for the desired application, such as cold-water cleaning. The website covers examples of using modern biotechnology and use of well-established host strains to produce enzymes for various applications.
