We identify and develop high-performance microorganisms as functional biomass for optimized industrial production processes.
They serve as so-called biosubstitutes to establish bioprocesses in chemical processes or to produce bioactive natural compounds and enzymes for specialty markets. Application areas also include the recycling of the greenhouse gas CO2 as an industrial raw material, as well as urban and green mining for the extraction of precious and rare earth metals from waste streams and ores.

Microbial strain development
Based on our industry-leading collection of natural resources and
data we identify, develop and optimize microbial production strains that
meet our customers’ needs.
Sustainable metal extraction in the circular economy
Microorganisms from the BRAIN bioarchive extract precious metals from e-waste, ashes, slags and other waste streams in an environmentally friendly way.
A truly green process for the recycling of lithium ion batteries – microbes can make lithium ion battery recycling more sustainable, more effective and even completely CO2-neutral.
