We Are Capra Biosciences
Using biology to make high performance renewable chemicals affordable.
Our Mission
Make high performance renewable chemicals cost-efficient and sustainable.
We are revolutionizing chemical production with our patented bioreactor technology that creates chemicals using natural processes that consume and transform waste into materials of value to humanity.
Our Technology
Capra specializes in making clean and sustainable hydrophobic chemicals that are challenging to produce using conventional fermentation technologies.
Biofilms
At the core of our technology are biofilms – thin films of microorganisms that naturally form on surfaces. They serve as amazing natural agents to create novel chemicals.
Bioreactor
Our bioreactor design combines the benefits of biosynthesis with a water-, energy-, and time-saving solvent extraction step to produce complex hydrophobic products.
Our Products
Retinol and salicylic acid represent the first of many Capra products that provide natural, cost-efficient ingredients to consumers and industry.
