The core activities of LIPOFABRIK are production, purification, formulation and sales of biological and biodegradable molecules produced through bioprocesses based on renewable resources.
Originated from a research program developed by PROBIOGEM laboratory, LIPOFABRIK is known to be in the forefront of research on lipopeptides produced by Bacillus sp.:
- Surfactin
- Fengycin
- Iturin
- Mycosubtilin
- Lichenysin
- Plipastatin
These molecules present outstanding physico-chemical properties and biological activities. The most relevant are:
- Tensioactive and biosurfactant
- Emulsifyer
- Antibacterial and antifungal
- Inducer of systemic resistance of plants
- Antiviral
- Etc.
As a consequence, our family of lipopetides produced from Bacillus sp. can be applied in numerous activites:
- Phytosanitary
- Cosmetic
- Dermatology
- Thérapeutics
- Détergency
- Environnment
- Food industry
- Oil industry
LIPOFABRIK presently produces 6 different types of lipopeptides: Fengycin, Plipastatin, Iturin, Lichenysin, Mycosubtilin, Surfactin.
The detailed composition of our products can be provided upon request, including the relative proportions of the various homologues.
We also offer customized production:
- Extra purity > 98%.
- Mix with a determined proportion of each molecule.
