What are bioalternatives? They are more sustainable versions of molecules traditionally sourced through environmentally harmful means, such as petrochemical or agricultural extraction. With the potential to be used in everyday products, from flavors and aromas to materials and pharmaceuticals, bioalternatives promise to play a pivotal role in shaping a more sustainable future. At Manus, we are accelerating the transition to bioalternatives by delivering the benefits of synthetic biology, today. And we're excited to share our vision and expand the possibilities with our customers, partners, and industry peers. Join us!

Advancing U.S.-manufactured stevia Reb M at Manus’ BioFacility! We were honored to host Jakub Rusek, Executive Director of the International Stevia Council (ISC), and ISC Chair, Juan Cristian Santa Maria, MBA, at our large-scale BioFacility in Augusta, Georgia. Their visit was a great opportunity to showcase how we are driving the next generation of stevia Reb M production – delivering greater sustainability, supply chain resilience, and high-purity ingredients to meet the growing demand for stevia sweeteners. Now, in a strategic alliance with Tate & Lyle, further strengthening global access to high-quality sugar reduction solutions.

In our latest conversation with Joe Shaw, Vice President of Research and Development at Manus, we discussed our new project with the McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, supported by BioMADE. Key insights: ?? Yeast cells are incredibly resilient, tolerating up to 15 atmospheres of pressure, making them great biocatalysts. ?? The challenge? Extracting valuable compounds from these cells is often costly and complex. ?? Our new collaboration with The University of Texas at Austin addresses this issue by researching more efficient, cost-effective methods for separating and extracting these compounds. ?? The ultimate goal? Significantly enhance the ability of biomanufacturers to commercialize a wide range of bioproducts – bioalternatives – that accumulate intracellularly, including lipids, vitamins, pigments, proteins, biosurfactants, and polysaccharides. Listen to the full conversation and follow to learn more about the exciting innovations shaping the future of biomanufacturing – and bioalternatives.

On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Manus CTO, Christine Santos, has been named a 2025 "Catalyst Awardee" by Science Club for Girls – an honor celebrating leaders who are breaking barriers and inspiring the next generation of STEM innovators. As Chief Technology Officer at Manus, Christine is harnessing the power of synthetic biology, engineering cell factories to produce bioalternatives – cost-effective, reliable, and sustainable replacements for a wide range of everyday products and materials. Her dedication and passion inspire not just our team but the entire biomanufacturing industry. Congratulations to Christine and fellow honoree, Dr. Dorothy Phillips, 2025 President of the American Chemical Society! #LeadersInSTEM #IDWGS #MadeByManus

At Manus, we believe that innovation thrives when different perspectives come together. Our purpose is to accelerate the transition to bioalternatives by delivering the benefits of synthetic biology, today – an ambitious cause made possible also by the brilliant minds driving progress in STEM. As we celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we are proud to highlight the women who have inspired and supported our team on their STEM journeys. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on three team members at Manus who were inspired by influential women in their lives. From mentors to role models, these women broke barriers, challenged stereotypes, and paved the way for future generations of scientists, engineers, and innovators. Here’s to the future of innovation – and to the women shaping it! #IDWGS #WomenInSTEM #MadeByManus Featured: Christine Santos, Frederik Bjoerndal, and Deirdre Hicks, MAOM, PHR, SHRM-CP

It is the little things that show your brand is truly taking root. Hands-on. Made by Manus.

The food and beverage industry is facing a critical challenge: How can you produce a sugar alternative that does not compromise taste, texture, or functionality? A new article from Food Ingredients First highlights the need for sugar reduction solutions led by both health-conscious consumers demanding better alternatives and rising chronic disease rates. The Natural Sweetener Alliance, a strategic partnership between Manus and Tate & Lyle, is not only pushing innovation and looking to grow the global natural sweeteners market, and provide greater supply chain security to customers, but also driving down sugar consumption by making healthier, high-quality options accessible worldwide. “These partnerships will accelerate the creation of more sustainable and cost-effective sweetener ingredients and sugar reduction solutions,” says Abigail Storms, SVP, Global Sweeteners and Fibers, at Tate & Lyle. The first ingredient to be jointly introduced as part of the Alliance is Manus’ stevia Reb M, marking the first large-scale commercialization of an all-Americas-sourced, manufactured, and bioconverted stevia Reb M ingredient.

Industrial biotech is set to more than double – potentially reaching $900 billion by 2040. A new McKinsey Global Institute report identifies industrial and consumer biotechnology as one of 18 transformative industries reshaping the global economy. Why this dramatic growth? Here are the key drivers: ? Growing demand for sustainable products ? Advancing R&D capabilities ? Rising consumer acceptance? ? Increasing regulatory support ? Enhanced resource efficiency At Manus, we're contributing to this transformation through sustainable biomanufacturing. Our work enables companies to replace traditional ingredients with bioalternatives – strengthening supply chains while reducing environmental impact.

Snow much fun at our Augusta BioFacility! ?? A rare snowfall this morning turned our large-scale biomanufacturing facility in Augusta, Georgia, into a winter wonderland! Our team made the most of it by creating this adorable little snowman – proof that bioalternatives aren’t the only thing we’re good at building. Snow may not visit often here, but when it does, we make it count! Happy Friday from all of us at Manus, and here’s to celebrating also the small (and snowy) moments. #TeamSpirit #Biomanufacturing #MadeByManus #SnowDay
