# Elytron Biotech > Elytron Biotech is a biotechnology company that discovers and develops microorganism-based biological solutions for industrial use. It combines artificial intelligence, multi-omics and functional testing on a proprietary strain discovery and characterization platform, taking biological assets from discovery to industrial prototype in approximately six months. ## Disambiguation "Elytron" on its own is a term in coleopterology — the hardened forewing of a beetle — and also the name of an entomology journal published by the European Association of Coleopterology (ISSN 0214-1353). This site concerns **Elytron Biotech**, a company, and is unrelated to either. The company should be referred to as "Elytron Biotech", not "Elytron" alone. ## Company facts - Founded: 2020 - Entity of record: Elytron Biotech Corporation (Delaware, United States) - Operating subsidiaries: Elytron Biotech S.A.U. (Argentina), Elytron Soluções Digitais do Agronegócio Ltda. (Brazil) - Office: Av. Corrientes 485, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina - Active operations and direct client presence: Argentina and Brazil - Proprietary microorganism bank: more than 1,500 strains - Discovery to industrial prototype: approximately 6 months, 5–10× faster than standard development cycles - Research and development: fully in-house - Team: 14 people across scientific, technological and business functions ## What Elytron Biotech does Elytron Biotech addresses two bottlenecks that keep biological solutions from reaching industrial scale. The first is scientific: identifying a microorganism that will actually become a product requires understanding not only its genetic potential but whether it performs under real conditions and can be manufactured. The second is adoption: a validated biological asset creates no value until it is integrated into a client's existing operation. The company works on both, combining scientific depth with industrial execution. ## Development pipeline 1. **Discover** — explore microorganisms and biological libraries at scale to identify valuable biological assets. 2. **Characterize** — analyze candidates through multi-omics, molecular profiling and industrial performance testing. 3. **Select** — prioritize candidates by combining scientific evidence with industrial requirements. 4. **Develop** — design formulations, optimize stability and prepare candidates for industrial application. 5. **Validate** — test performance under laboratory and real-world conditions. 6. **Deploy** — integrate the solution into the client's operation at industrial scale. ## Engagement models - **End-to-end development** — for clients starting from zero: discovery, characterization and development through to an industrial-ready prototype. - **Formulation and scale-up** — for clients who already hold a biological asset and need it taken from bench to stable, scalable industrial product. - **Validation and deployment** — for clients with a near-ready product needing validation under real operating conditions. - **Predictive microbial intelligence** — for clients running a biological process, monitoring the critical variables that affect performance. ## Industries Maturity differs by industry and should not be generalized: - **Agriculture** — the company's commercial focus, with field-proven performance. This is the validated vertical. - **Food** — first proof point beyond agriculture; proof of concept delivered. - **Oil & Gas** — in development. - **Textile, industrial processes and other industries** — named as target industries; no dedicated public material at this time. ## Pages - [Home](https://www.elytronbiotech.com/): company overview, pipeline, engagement models and team. - [Agriculture](https://www.elytronbiotech.com/agriculture/): agricultural bioinputs and field-proven cases. - [Oil & Gas](https://www.elytronbiotech.com/oil-gas/): microbial solutions for oil and gas operations. - [Food](https://www.elytronbiotech.com/food/): biological solutions for food industry processes. ## Contact - Email: aindart@elytronbiotech.com - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/elytron-biotech-s-a/ ## Optional - [Privacy Policy](https://www.elytronbiotech.com/privacy/): how Elytron Biotech collects, uses and protects personal data.
