Dyadic International Inc.,  a biotechnology company in Jupiter, Florida says it has been issued Patent No. 7,794,962 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on its method for the expression and subsequent screening of DNA libraries in filamentous fungal hosts. The company says the patented technology can help speed up the discovery of genes and development of their corresponding enzymes and proteins.

Dyadic’s researchers have developed strains of the fungal microorganism Chrysosporium lucknowense – or Cl – to discover and express both eukaryotic and prokaryotic genes; and to manufacture the products of those genes, using Cl as the host organism from beginning to end.

The company says this is the sixth U.S. patent issued to Dyadic, adding to its 60 international patents and more than 40 pending patent applications worldwide which cover various technologies.
