Biosphere acquires NovoNutrients assets to advance gas fermentation bioreactors for military protein production
By
Elaine Watson
Summary
California-based biomanufacturing startup Biosphere has acquired the assets of defunct gas fermentation company NovoNutrients. Biosphere develops UV-sterilized bioreactors aimed at reducing biomanufacturing costs and recently secured a US military grant for portable gas fermentation bioreactors for protein production. The acquisition gives Biosphere an established loop reactor pilot plant design that aligns with its Department of War contracts.
