AmphiStar has developed a proprietary technology platform for the cost-efficient and ecological production of biosurfactants. We are a founders-led spin-off company established in July 2021 that is the result of 15 years joint development between Ghent University (Inbio.be) and the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant. We derisk the early development stage for biosurfactant production, guide and support technology transfer to industrial manufacturers and collaborate intensely for further development and improvement of the licensed technology. Our technology platform is initially based on the fermentative production with the yeast ''Starmerella bombicola'', producing many different biosurfactants at a high volumetric productivity. Our biosurfactants are made from sustainable, renewable feedstocks and waste streams. Microbial fermentation is a clean production technology that is safe for people and the environment. Our biosurfactants are environmentally friendly, palm oil-free, sulfate-free, mild, non-toxic and non-irritant. | AmphiStar has developed a proprietary technology platform for the cost-efficient and ecological production of biosurfactants.

BluCon Biotech GmbH was founded in June 2017 and has its research laboratories and offices at the BioCampus, Cologne. The company develop a unique technology by which L-lactic acid can be produced at lowest possible production costs so that the bioplastic poly lactic acid (PLA) will become commercially competitive to fossil fuel-based plastics. | |||
BluCon Biotech GmbH | To reduce significantly the production costs low-cost raw materials are used, (e.g., cellulosic waste) and a sustainable process which most efficiently converts these feedstocks to the product, L-lactic acid (2nd generation L-lactic acid). Such technology development has been initiated and carried out by Direvo Industrial Biotech GmbH in Cologne. BluCon Biotech GmbH now drives the commercialization of this technology by modern strain and bioprocess engineering. | ||
The unique technology of BluCon Biotech GmbH enables consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) of lignocellulosic feedstocks to L-lactic acid using thermophilic bacteria in a one step process. Our aim is to exclusively use cheap non-food cellulosic or lignocellulosic feedstock and to create a 2nd generation L-lactic acid process, thus to convert waste to value. | |||
Besides developing BluCon technology to commercial stage, BluCon Biotech GmbH serves as a platform to acquire further technologies in the field of applied biotechnology. With its core team, the company shows outstanding expertise in microbiology of extremophilic bacteria, in strain and process development and in project management. It is very well connected both in Germany and internationally. | Besides developing BluCon technology to commercial stage, BluCon Biotech GmbH serves as a platform to acquire further technologies in the field of applied biotechnology.
