CJ BIO develops powerful microbes & biostimulants

Korean leading amino acids' provider CJ BIO is the biotechnology and solution business unit of CJ CheilJedang, a leading food and bio-material company in South Korea. A leader in plant-based materials and microbial fermentation technologies, CJ BIO provides amino acids for application in food and animal feed, as well as plant-based proteins, to its customers worldwide. CJ BIO currently supplies amino acids and protein materials to more than 37 countries, with its offerings including L-lysine, L-tryptophan, L-valine and nucleotides, accounting for the highest share of the global market. Made only with very pure L-type free amino acids based on microbes and plant-based materials, CJ BIO's amino acids offer exceptional efficiency in supplying nutrients, creating an extensive portfolio of differentiated products and solutions for the livestock, food and agricultural industries.

Supported by leading research and development in bio-based materials and microbes, CJ BIO has been rapidly scaling up its Plant Nutrition & Health (PNH) business. Driven by its proprietary technology that maximizes crop yield using microbes and amino acids, CJ BIO focuses on providing sustainable and low-carbon solutions to many customers around the world.

To help customers improve crop yields, CJ BIO has screened strains that can protect crops from fatal diseases using its massive microbial library and automated screening technology. In the field of inoculants, CJ BIO has also generated impressive research data on numerous strains that can help achieve higher yields in major row crops, such as soybeans and corns, as well as remove chemical fertilizers, such as urea from animal feed. Furthermore, CJ BIO has made progress in developing an extensive range of bio-based solutions, such as using biostimulant to leverage the molecular mechanism of amino acids in plants.

With more than 60 years of experience in strain development and fermentation technologies, CJ BIO has successfully delivered microbial products of exceptional efficacy over a very short period of time. Specific functions can be efficiently selected, due to CJ BIO's huge microbial library and advanced automated systems, such as the robot-arm HTS (High-throughput Screening). These systems have enabled CJ BIO's team of experts, including fermentation, plant and biological data scientists, to screen powerful microbes that can replace chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In addition to supporting plant growth in the field, they developed large-scale fermentation systems and design stable microbial products with a high cell density. They have also created optimized strains with better performance in the field.
