About the company

Caravel Bio is developing a novel synthetic biology platform that uses microbial spores and enzymes to create catalysts that are long-lasting and can withstand extreme conditions.

About the solution

Caravel Bio engineers spores to be functional enzyme carriers for industrial conditions in which free enzymes traditionally fall apart and living cells are not a viable option. By using an engineered spore, it gets all the benefits of traditional enzyme immobilization—higher stability and lifetime—without any of the drawbacks.
