iMicrobes | Industrial Microbes

Overview

Based in Alameda, California and founded in 2014, this biotechnology company specializes in synthetic biology and gas fermentation to create sustainable chemicals and materials. The organization engineers programmable microbes to convert renewable feedstocks such as methane, carbon dioxide, and ethanol into valuable compounds like acrylic acid, biopolymers, acrylonitrile, and carbon fiber.

Their patented technology platform integrates microbial strain engineering with bioprocess development, enabling efficient, low-carbon methods for chemical production. By conducting multiple chemical reactions within a single reactor, the company improves energy efficiency and reduces emissions. Collaborative projects with commercial partners support scalable biomanufacturing and further the circular economy by utilizing waste greenhouse gases as resources.
