Today's industrial enzymes are used in a variety of commercially significant applications, including detergents, starch processing, textile manufacturing, pulp and paper processing, and oil and gas production. The use of enzymes in industrial applications has been limited because many potential applications fall outside the temperature, pH, or chemical stability range of the enzymes available today. By utilizing Diversa's discovery and evolution technologies, Innovase is developing proprietary, high-value enzymes to improve existing applications as well as to create new applications for use in such areas as water treatment, industrial cleaning, and biofilm removal.
