In this case study, a biopesticides company engaged CPL Business Consultants to examine production techniques used in semi-solid-state fermentation and also to find potential manufacturing partners. CPL’s report included information on semi-solid-state fermentation techniques used and common production issues to look out for. Additionally, CPL introduced the client to a range of potential partners.
The purpose of this study was to allow a client effectively to plan both its technical process development and commercial approach to the production of biopesticides. The study detailed current technology in semi-solid-state fermentation focusing on the production of conidia from Deuteromycetes (anamorphic fungi); it itemised the key technical issues for each step in production, and it provided specific options and advice as to how to proceed.
