Taurus Energy AB has found a method of marking its unique yeast strains. The marker distinguishes Taurus’s yeast strains from others, which offers the company a wide range of opportunities. Among other things, it increases the chances of commercialising the research and development work on ethanol production, for example in respect of licensing the yeast strains to potential customers.
Taurus Energy has carried out very successful development work during 2010 and 2011. In addition to yeast production on a demonstration scale, the company has also made major advances in methods for the development of improved yeast strains. To prevent these yeast strains from being used without a license agreement, a marker is required that proves that the strains were developed by Taurus Energy. After four months’ research in partnership with Chalmers, in a project supported by Vinnova, a unique marker has now been found that does not exist anywhere else in the natural world.
