Appearing 3.8 billion years ago, bacteria have adapted and survived in a wide variety of environments that could be considered hostile (extremely hot, cold, acidic, or salty). These champions of adaptation, found in high-pressure ocean depths and hot, arid deserts, all have different characteristics. However, they all have one thing in common: they have adapted to their environment in order to survive, even in extreme pH and temperature conditions.
Today, we know that these microscopic allies are essential to the survival of plants, animals and humans, forming a unique microbiota specific to each of us. Bacteria promote digestive health, strengthen the immune system and protect against harmful pathogens. In agriculture, they improve soil fertility and contribute to sustainable farming practices.
At Lesaffre, we have been revealing the infinite power of microorganisms for over 170 years and are convinced that they are one of the answers to the health and environmental challenges of tomorrow.
That’s why, in 2017, the Envera teams joined us. Envera’s scientists create biological products from bacteria to solve real-world problems—contamination, unsustainable fuels, food shortages, and disease. The possibilities are almost limitless because of the number of different kinds of bacteria found in nature.
Today, thanks to Lesaffre’s know-how in fermentation and Envera’s expertise in bacteria, the Group is now able to create powerful solutions that meet the challenges of tomorrow.
