Circular cellular agriculture
All of Calysta’s products are built on the same patented fermentation platform.
Calysta produces protein by harnessing the power of a naturally-occurring microorganism that converts carbon and energy into a nutritious, non-GMO protein by fermentation – ideal for use as a feed and food ingredient.
Because it uses no animal or plant matter, our fermentation platform is already a very low impact way to produce protein – but our mission has always been to make more from less.
Our new process improvements offer protein without limits. We can both embrace the energy transition to renewable power and produce protein with net zero carbon emissions, creating a truly circular platform to produce high-quality protein products.
That’s how we provide food security for all.

Our microbial protein
Spirulina. Miso. Baker’s yeast. Mycoprotein. What do all these have in common? They’re all microbial proteins eaten every day by millions. Microbes and their fermented products have always been a part of the food chain, whether that’s yeast for bread or bacteria for yogurt.
Calysta builds upon this history using a naturally occurring, non-GM microbe to produce a nutritious protein that will help feed a growing and protein-hungry world.
Future proof technology
Calysta is building on two decades of engineering and process development to produce microbial protein at commercial scale. By simply replicating our modular design, we will soon be producing more than 100,000 tonnes per year.
This ensures microbial proteins are reliably and continually available in the quantities necessary to accommodate food producers, pet food manufacturers, and animal feed companies.
