As a joint venture partner of Phangel Biotech, Angel Yeast has become an important force in the global yeast industry by focusing on biotech for 36 years. And the PhaBuilder continues to focus on strain research and development by using the research and development achievements of "new generation of industrial biotechnology" accumulated by Tsinghua University in recent 37 years. At present, the PhaBuilder already has the ability to produce PHB, P34HB, P34HBHV, PHBHHx, PHB5HV, P3HP3HB and other materials with completely independent intellectual property rights and a new metabolic path.
