TODAY’S FOCUS
1111
Strain development
What is strain development?
Why do we improve strains?
How do we improve strains?
1212
Production of ofactive ingredients
Why is production important?
How can production be improved?
13
Understanding production and the effect on the final application is critical to ensure
• Uniform products
• Consistent performance in the field
• High stability
Why is production important?
14
To optimize the production, the first step is to understand the product
• MoA understanding is critical to understand optimization of production
• Optimization is carried out holistically and not in unit operations
• Quality parameters need to be clearly defined
How is production optimized?
