"ByBug" and the power of Black Soldier Flies

Welcome to this week’s Fruitionary Spotlight Snippets. Today, we’re highlighting ByBug an innovative biotech company based in Chile and USA:

ByBug harnesses the potential of Black Soldier Flies (BSF) as a bioproduction platform for various industries. ByBug specializes in genetically engineering BSF to produce high-value recombinant proteins, ranging from immunostimulants and enzymes to complex pharmaceutical ingredients. This approach distinguishes ByBug from traditional insect farming companies like Aspire Food Group by integrating Synthetic Biology into their processes.

The technology works by modifying the BSF to express specific proteins directly within their bodies, bypassing the traditional microbial fermentation methods. This allows for a more diverse range of proteins and better scalability in producing pharmaceutical-grade ingredients for human and animal health.

Since its founding in 2022, ByBug has made significant strides, including opening commercial offices in the United States and securing a $1.4 million seed round. This success underscores the company’s innovative approach and the growing interest in biotech solutions for sustainable production.
