Mycodev Group was formed in 2013 to commercialize new technology in fungal fermentation and the production of highly technical chitosan.
The founders saw that with chitosan having so many incredible applications in the life sciences industry, it was an opportunity to enable these technologies with a consistent, high purity chitosan from fungal fermentation. Chitosan from waste biomass (crustacean, edible mushroom) has inherent issues that limit its acceptability and has left many applications undeveloped.
The company collaborates with a number of universities and research institutions across Canada, the USA, and Europe, to continue our development and enable a world of opportunities with chitosan.
