Deinove, the French biotech company developing innovative processes for producing biofuels and bio-based chemicals by using deinococcus bacteria, announced on September 2, 2015 that it has produced muconic acid in its laboratory using second-generation (2G) substrates.
Deinove recently announced that it had deployed a new R&D platform dedicated to the production of muconic acid, a versatile chemical intermediate whose derivatives – caprolactam, terephthalic acid (a precursor to PET) and adipic acid - are widely used in the plastics industry (notably for automotive and packaging applications), the production of synthetic fibres for textiles or industry (mainly nylon) and food (acidifying agent).
Deinove has since obtained proof of concept in their laboratory for the transformation of second-generation cellulose-based materials into muconic acid.
