What Sets Us Apart

Rapid Scale Up

Once you have found the perfect strain, the final step to commercialization is to scale your product. We have the team and facilities to allow you to scale rapidly, accurately, and economically. From pilot scale product to customer trials to manufacturing scale once you are ready to go to market, MDG has you covered.

Capacity

With 35,000 liters of large-scale fermentation capability and the downstream process to match, MDG can provide our clients with speedy turnaround times. Getting strains out the door in 90 days or less makes your final stage to manufacturing a seamless process.

Quality Programs and Certifications

MDG is GMP and FSMA compliant and follows a strict HAACP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) certified program so our facility operates at the highest level of cleanliness, sanitation and traceability. We follow extensive quality control checkpoints to ensure purity from start to finish.

Blending and Packaging (In-House)

The need to outsource has become a thing of the past for MDG customers. Our fermentation capabilities are seamlessly complimented by our extensive in-house downstream processes. This saves our customers time and money by providing various blending and packaging capabilities.

MDG Employees

We firmly believe one of our biggest assets lies within our MDG team. MDG is proud to employ an experienced staff that truly cares about our customer’s and our vision to Feed, Clean, Save The World.

Real Science, Trusted Process, Proven Success

It’s our foundation and our promise. A strong scientific understanding of Bacillus and our optimized fermentation processes consistently yields measurable success for our customers.

Supplying Quality: One Strain at a Time

In the large-scale liquid bacterial fermentation world, there are two primary ways to grow bacteria: as individual strains or in combination with others. At Microbial Discovery Group, we grow one strain at a time as it has served us well over the past decade. Truth be told, if I

Two Big Reasons You Need Our Small Spray Dryer

Throughout a facility tour at MDG you’ll walk past different sizes of the same equipment, one example, specifically of interest to many plant companies, is the 6-foot pilot spray dryer that stares up at a 34-foot electric production spray dryer. Flexibility in spray drying equipment size offers two intentional benefits:

Processing Probiotic Cultures

At MDG, we make Bacillus cultures and products for a range of industries, including food. When it comes to serving our customers in this industry, specifically those manufacturing probiotics for human gut health, they often ask how we keep their cultures separate from those in the other markets that we serve. To

Good Things Always Happen in 3’s

Well, ok, that’s not exactly how the saying goes, but this modified version seems fitting. Recently, MDG received its third centrifuge to match its three fermentors already in operation. This R2D2 looking device might sound boring, but it’s an essential piece of our custom fermentation arsenal. So, why is having a

The Expanding Bacillus Market

As a follow up to the article “The Key Drivers Behind MDG’s Current Expansion,” I’d like to take this opportunity to talk more extensively about the expanding Bacillus market. Previously, I eluded that many of the current market opportunities were due to the increased demand across multiple industries. In particular, the following four

The Benefits of Fermentation Redundancy

It is an exciting day signing a multi-year fermentation contract! After the ink dries and celebrations conclude, I’ve learned it’s time to quickly review both redundancy and contingency plans for worst case scenarios. This is how we can guarantee on-time delivery. During the planning of our current expansion, I

Bacillus, Distinguishing Species and Strains Part II

Bacillus Strain Identification: Common Problems, Questions, and Answers  In last month’s newsletter, Bacillus, Distinguishing Species and Strains Part I, we tackled the species section of the popular question “How many species and strains of Bacillus do you have in a particular product?” Now, let’s move on to strains. Can Individual Strains

How You Count Really Counts (Part I)

If you are attempting to ship your Bacillus powder products internationally to certain countries, your product may be sent for a third party plate count prior to approval. It is very important that you understand which plating method will be used to enumerate the product. If you don’t understand the method
