White Dog Labs, Inc. (WDL) was established in 2012 on the foundation of synthetic biology, bio-process development and product development to address global challenges including food sustainability and climate change. The company has invented a proprietary process, Protocol B™, for the isolation, selection and cultivation of microbiome-derived Clostridia, which has resulted in large, diverse and novel strain libraries.
White Dog Labs offers a sustainable solution by producing Single Cell Protein (SCP), with similar protein and amino acid content as fishmeal. The solution combines MixoFerm high yield, with its FlexFeedstock capability (e.g., by-products from ethanol plants), and a low-cost plant that is co-located with existing infrastructure such as dry-grind ethanol plants.
A summary of the MixoFerm solution’s advantages include:
Consumption of low cost and sustainable feedstocks, e.g., ethanol by-products
High cell mass on ATP yield – opens up opportunities for anaerobic fermentation
Opportunities to co-locate SCP production with ethanol plants, providing additional cost reduction
Moreover, White Dog Labs’ microorganism development capabilities allow for:
Higher value SCP with an improved amino acid content
Enhanced nutritional value such as included vitamins and organic salts
Continual product improvement and differentiation
