The scale-up results identically tracked the performance at bench and pilot scales, further validating the predictability and scalability of DMC’s Dynamic Metabolic Control technology. Importantly, commercial performance metrics were demonstrated, meaning that no further strain improvements are required to achieve the target selling price. The scale-up process was conducted at EW Biotech’s facility (85 m3 fermentation) in Leuna (Germany).
