    About Lygos

    Performance materials company that used proprietary biology and chemistry to develop sustainable, high-performance ingredients and polymers. The company raised more than $200 million, scaled manufacturing, and commercialized products across agriculture, cleaning, personal care, and other specialty-materials markets. Lygos ultimately concluded through two strategic sales (DOD-funded organization, BioMADE and other strategic acquirers).
