Verenium launches new high-performance ethanol enzyme

In Massachusetts, Verenium announced that it has launched a new high performance enzyme for the saccharification of liquefied starch in the fuel ethanol production process.  The Deltazym GA L-E5 enzyme has demonstrated high ethanol yields at industrial scale using multiple substrates including corn, milo, barley, wheat and cassava.

Verenium is reporting that customers using Fuelzyme alpha-amylase and Deltazym GA L-E5 have reported increased ethanol yields due to demonstrated synergies between the two enzyme products.
