Germany
Autodisplay brings proteins and peptides to the surface of gram negative bacteria. The transport of molecules to the bacterial surface avoids protein expression issues such as inclusion bodies and incorrect folding. With our proprietary cell surface display technology, we create custom-tailored solutions for our clients. Services include:
1. High-throughput screening of binding interactions and enhanced enzyme activity via FACS.
2. Development of whole cell biocatalysts that combine the benefits of soluble enzymes and classic whole cell biocatalysts - no limitations regarding permeability of substrate or product, yet easy recovery of the biocatalyst for re-use.
3. Functionalisation of solid surfaces with the highest levels of control regarding target molecule orientation. Autodisplay helps prevent the activity loss by-effect which occurs during immobilisation.

We favour renewable over finite-supply, but prefer those technologies that require little or no subsidies to thrive, commercially viable concepts will ultimately stand the test of time. We believe the best long-term effects are achieved when each component in biomass is utilised to its full potential.
With respect to wood, this means preferring advanced value chains over simple usages. Our vision calls for a Biofuture that goes beyond traditional solutions. We see danger in over-simplified calls for anything renewable, and prefer an integrated approach to biomass and biotechnology. There are immense opportunities open to those who want to take today’s bioeconomy to the next stage - the Biofuture, but only if innovation and commercial sense advance hand in hand! Our newest tool for driving bio-innovation is the BioFutureFactory(™), of which more on our website.
