REDWOOD CITY, Calif. & TORTONA, Italy--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Codexis (NASDAQ: CDXS), a developer of engineered enzymes for pharmaceutical, biofuel and chemical production, and Chemtex, a leader in chemical engineering and renewable processes, today announced the successful scale-up in the production of CodeXol® detergent alcohols using cellulosic sugars. The scale-up was achieved at a 1,500 liter demonstration facility at Chemtex’s R&D complex in Tortona, Italy and is a key milestone in the ongoing effort initiated by the two companies to develop a fully integrated biomass to detergent alcohols technology. A combination of Chemtex’s commercially proven PROESA® cellulosic sugar technology and Codexis’ CodeXyme® 4X cellulase enzymes was used to produce cellulosic sugars from non-food biomass, while the CodeXol® detergent alcohol fermentation process technology – which includes Codexis’ proprietary microorganism strain – converted these cellulosic sugars to detergent alcohols.
