Cytovance Biologics has entered a collaboration deal with Phenotypeca to enhance the development of saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

The partnership is expected to expedite the development of high-performance yeast strains and improve the biologics production efficiency for biopharma clients.

It will use the knowledge of Cytovance Biologics in microbial fermentation and the yeast strain development technology of Phenotypeca for producing high-quality expressing cell lines.

Cytovance Biologics stated that the partnership extends its leadership in end-to-end manufacturing of microbial-derived active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and expands the commercial reach of Phenotypeca.

According to the company, saccharomyces cerevisiae is broadly utilised in the biopharmaceutical industry for safe therapeutic proteins and other biologics production.

It is well suited for manufacturing certain human protein types and can also be harnessed as small, efficient factories for biopharmaceutical production.
