Fermentation Proteomics

Larial Proteomics Inc. provides bioanalytical research services and methods development consulting for the fermentation sector.  Our goal is to diagnose and correct specific problems with errant yeasts.  As a consequence of technological advances in biological mass spectrometry and biosensing,  Larial is acquiring significant knowledge of strain specific proteomes for clients in the fermentation industry.  By understanding the expression patterns and functional characteristics of yeast proteins, Larial can help fermentation microbiologists deploy facile biosensing tools to correct errant yeasts.  For example, by diagnosing root cause factors driving flocculation behaviour, esterase function and enzymes involved in hydrogen sulphide production, improvements in real time yeast vitality quality control can be realized.

It should be noted that scientific findings, when properly assessed using the appropriate bioinformatics tools, can produce a core capability for clients that consists of a customized, proprietary database whose value would far exceed the cost of the work undertaken.  Additionally, development of patent able, redemptive yeast strain (s) or QC protocol (s) would be equally valuable.

It is also important to note that Larial Proteomics Inc. does not seek to acquire any form of intellectual capital it develops on behalf of its clients.  Our overall aim is to increase corporate profits in the commercial yeast production and fermentation sector where knowledge of the yeast proteome can provide important diagnostic information. Our corporate objective is to become the recognized leader in Fermentation Proteomics.

Our approach is to develop one year-to-eighteen month cost effective, milestone-driven programs that solve challenging problems and create intellectual capital; all giving our clients significant first mover advantage in their segment. This endows Larial clients with the opportunity to go beyond basic protein expression studies to providing true industry leadership. Our aim is to link fermentation proteomics discoveries to profits by:

As part of its continuing efforts to improve fermentation proteomics testing, Larial has launched its FixElix^TM Analysis Series, a novel proteome stabilizing reagent that allows high fidelity snapshots to be taken of yeast protein expression patterns during fermentation.  For more information on FixElix^TM Analysis Series and how it is shaping the future of fermentation proteomics testing visit:
