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.

About Dyadic International, Inc.faseb microbes
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.biologists systematics
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.rearing thymallus
We expect
this wealth of information to result in faster development of more
environmentally-friendly and functionally-superior industrial products

potential new treatments for human diseases". Gerald Fink, American Cancer Society Professor of
