today announced
the formation of a collaborative research and development program between
DuPont Central Research + Development (CR+D) and Microbia's Precision
Engineering(R) business unit. DuPont CR+D will fund
the joint research and development effort. As a scientist, I am
excited about the wealth of knowledge about the biochemistry,
physiology, and genetics of C1 that the sequence will afford us.

increasingly important area of green chemistry. Dyadic has spawned a
successful business based on the ability of the C1 organism to produce
large volumes of low cost industrial enzymes for industrial, textile ,
and agricultural applications. "I am sure that Dyadic, as a
business, is excited about the possibility of readily finding novel
enzyme products to add to their portfolio., is engaged in the development ,

To date, two Microbia-engineered production strains have been introduced into
commercial use and a third Microbia-engineered strain is currently undergoing
pilot evaluation. The C1 genome sequencing completion will permit Dyadic to
mine the information from this uniquely enabling fungal host for novel
and improved protein products for a broad spectrum of industries,
including Energy, Feed and Food, Pulp + Paper, and Pharmaceuticals. This high quality assembled genome was made
possible using Agencourt 's SPRINTPrep technology in which Fosmids,
large insert clones, can be prepared just as readily and
cost-effectively as high copy plasmids.

In
addition, the sequence information is expected to enable Dyadic and
its collaborators to expand the variety of proteins and enzymes that
can be brought to market. Dyadic markets its products and services for applications in
the textile, chemical, agricultural , pulp + paper, pharmaceutical,
biotechnology and other industries, using its proprietary C1 Host
Technology and C1 Expression and Screening Systems for the discovery,
development and production of biological products.
