LyteGro

LyteGro supplies microbial growth enhancers to the chemical, diagnostic, pharmaceutical and food and drink industries. LyteGro were selected as one of the UK’s most sustainable start-up companies and were featured in the recent “300 Years of Leadership and Innovation” publication commissioned by the History of Parliament Trust and the royal publishers St James’s House to celebrate the 300-year anniversary of the opening of the Houses of Parliament. Lytegro were announced winners of the Tech For Good “Clean Energy Strategies Reimagined Challenge” – a competition seeking to identify the most innovative solutions in the green energy field. Lytegro’s proposal centered around the use of our BacLyte extract in reducing process time and improving yields in bio-ethanol and biogas production. In 2021 Lytegro were awarded a Sustainable Innovation Fund grant to cover further scale up of the production of our BacLyte extract and the testing of our Propagreater product by 5 UK distillers. Not only do we produce our core technology BacLyte from a previously unused waste banana feedstock but our products drive improvements in the efficiency of many bio-based processes such as fermentation and bioenergy production. Culture Boost is a simple supplement to add to existing microbial growth media & diagnostics. This is our food grade product for use in the pro-biotic, cheese and fermented foods industries.
