Eucodis, an established Austrian enzyme engineering and manufacturing company, developed and patented a catalase as a novel neutralizer in environmental monitoring media and offers either a collaboration or OEM supply of the enzyme or the technology itself for licensing.

Eucodis’ patented recombinant catalase formulation is unique as it is the only one worldwide that can be applied to agar plates due to its increased stability at high temperatures (stable at 55°C during production and during sterilization by gamma-irradiation).

Within the ChitoTex project EUCODIS Bioscience, the Fraunhofer IGB and Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) collaborated to establish a new enzyme based approach to produce chitosan for the treatment of textile fibers and yarns in a more sustainable way. EUCODIS played an important role in the screening and modification of those enzymes aiming to develop suitable expression systems as well as efficient, stable, recombinant enzymes to produce chitosan.
