Green Agriculture
Green Agriculture
The global agricultural land covers 1.4 billion hectares according to studies by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in 2019. As our population continues to increase and the consumer society limits the development of the agricultural industry, food consumption will increase exponentially in the coming decades. Currently, the global development of newly cultivated land has entered a bottleneck. To overcome the conflict between inadequate agricultural productivity and the ever-increasing world population, the modern agriculture industry urgently needs to improve the land utilization rate and increase crops production by sustainable technology.
Modern agriculture often prefers intensive production to increase efficiency. However, the mass production of a single favorable variety leads to the destruction of the ecosystem diversity, therefore significantly weakening the ability of the environment to resist agricultural disasters. In particular, pests and diseases pose a serious threat to global food safety.
As a result, green plant protection technology became one of the most indispensable technologies in the development of modern agriculture, and pesticides became one of the most important solutions for plant protection. Abiochem offers a new solution to the development of high-efficiency/low-risk pesticides and the development of chiral pesticides to reduce usage by implementing the concept of green manufacturing.
To provide more competitive, safer, and greener products in compliance with global carbon neutrality, Abiochem established a partnership with Jiangsu Seven Continent Green Chemical Co., LTD to push forward the development of the herbicide industry with synthetic biotechnology. Abiochem is looking forward to advancing biotechnology on the market to support the eco-development of the global agriculture industry and contribute to the environmental protection initiative.
Amino Acid Oxidoreductase
Based on its "Intelligent Design" and "Enzyme Engineering” platforms, Abiochem has developed a series of proprietary amino acid oxidases and reductases with high stereoselectivity and catalytic activity. The oxidases can specifically oxidize Glufosinate ammonium D-isomer, and the reductases can subsequently convert the oxidized intermediate of D-isomer to the L-isomer. Through the continuous enzymatic redox reaction, the content of the active ingredient of Glufosinate ammonium can be significantly increased eventually. To solve the problems such as poor enzyme stability, low dissolved oxygen concentration and unstable reaction process, Abiochem has developed an highly immobilized enzyme production technique with independent intellectual property rights, which is producible on the industrial scale, thus substantially uplifted the production efficiency of high-purity Glufosinate ammonium.
D-ethyl Ester
Florfenicol is a commonly used veterinary antibiotic with broad spectrum of antibacterial activity and strong bacteriostatic effect, and is widely used in livestock husbandry. D-p-Methyl Sulfone Phenyl Ethyl Serinate (D-ethyl ester) is the key intermediate of Florfenicol with great demand. Based on its innovation platforms such as “Intelligent Design”, “Enzyme Engineering”, “Bioreaction Engineering”, and “Material Synthesis”, Abiochem has successfully developed a proprietary in vitro biosynthesis technique with high selectivity and reactivity, and achieved the efficient green manufacturing of D-ethyl ester with lowered production cost and reduced industrial wastes.
Calcidiol
Calcidiol, the active derivative of VD3, belongs to high-tech nutritional feed additive and plays an important role in enhancing bone strength, promoting calcium and phosphorus metabolism, increasing poultry hatchability, improving eggshell quality, and raising poultry growth rate, etc. Based on its core platforms such as “Intelligent Design”, “Enzyme Engineering” and “Bioreaction Engineering”, Abiochem has successfully developed a proprietary technique for in vitro biosynthesis of Calcidiol, and achieved the high-performance and low-cost mass production of Calcidiol.
