C56 Technologies Inc. produces novel enzyme products to convert complex carbohydrates (bio-mass based solutions) into 5 and6 carbon sugars. The company has discovered new biofilm degrading enzymes to attack pathogenic microorganisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, rendering them susceptable to antibiotics at a 50 fold lower dosage than normal. C56's enzyme platform also includes CornBuster, a fiber-degrading enzyme for the production of sugars in ethanol production from biomass. C56 Technologies is the first company to develop a potent enzyme product that degrades a previously unfermentable carbohydrate stream within corn ethanol plants into fermentable sugar. CornBuster enzyme technology improves sugar yield 10% and leapfrogs existing products by providing a high potency fiber-degrading enzyme in a form that is compatible with existing ethanol plant infrastructure. Other products only degrade the starch carbohydrate. C56?s CornBuster enzyme technology provides a significant positive financial return for the corn ethanol industry.
