The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to ZymoChem, Inc. (ZymoChem) for research and development activities related to scaleup (bench scale to industrial scale) and optimization of purified polyglutamic acid (PGA) production. The award aims to produce greater than 2 metric tons of purified PGA which would allow ZymoChem to generate experimental bio-based diapers in a separate effort from this award.
