VIENNA, Austria, May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- EUCODIS Bioscience, a company developing, manufacturing, and marketing enzymes and other proteins for the chemical industry, announced today that it has entered into a research agreement with Genencor, a division of Danisco. Under the terms of the agreement, EUCODIS Bioscience will apply its proprietary, patent-protected technology of “in vivo recombination” to the development of an optimized version of an undisclosed enzyme. The Company will generate a library of recombinants of the enzyme, and Genencor will screen the library for clones (enzymes) with desired product profiles.
“We are pleased that Genencor, a leading enzyme manufacturer and one of the largest biotechnology companies worldwide, has chosen EUCODIS Bioscience as a partner”, said Rudy Pandjaitan, PhD, CEO of EUCODIS Bioscience. “In previous development programs - both for our own portfolio of commercial enzymes and for industrial partners - our technology of in vivo recombination has reliably shown its capacity to generate high-quality libraries of active enzymes with significant improvement of the desired activities in a single cycle of recombination.”
