The Science and Fermentation Behind Glucose Oxidase for Biosensors

Glucose oxidase (GOx) has emerged as a keystone enzyme in the modern biosensor landscape, particularly within the field of glucose monitoring technologies. Its primary biochemical role involves the oxidation of β-D-glucose to D-glucono-δ-lactone, generating hydrogen peroxide as a by-product. This reaction is not only precise but highly predictable, making GOx one of the most widely […]

Beyond E. coli: Evolving CDMO Microbial Mastery

In today’s biopharma landscape, microbial versatility isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. For decades, Escherichia coli has been the microbial workhorse of the CDMO world, offering fast growth, simple genetics, and ease of scale-up. But the biologics being made today—complex enzymes, glycosylated proteins, biosimilars, and new modalities—are pushing the limits of what E. coli can deliver. […]
