Recombinant Methanogenic
Mesophilic Archea Enhancement

Our project “Recombinant Methanogenic Mesophilic Archea Enhancement” has completed Phase I: Lab Scale Proofing and it is in the course of Phase II: Prototype Scale Proofing.
After finishing Phase III: Serial Production, our product will be commercially available in October 2025 in Türkiye and European Countries.

In these projects, to increase methane production in recycling facilities, we aim to use recombinant methanogens to enable them to process organic wastes further. Recombinant Archea Methanosarcina Barkeri is enhanced to process more Hydrogen acetate (HAc) to methane (CH₄). It has been shown that recombinant M. Barkeri may show a significant effect on methane production. Our phase I experiments indicated that the Recombinant M. Barkeri has increased the potential of methane gas production of anaerobic sludge especially in the case of sludge inocula’s long acclimation process based on methanogens. Currently, we scale up the experiment conditions to indicate the similar success of the prototype scale.
