Expand Your Portfolio
Launch new disease control products using Ginkgo as your R&D engine.
Your Starting Point
The insect or spectrum you want your next product to target
What We Offer: Product co-development from lab to field
- The process starts by nominating candidates from our strain collection that match your specifications and screening these candidates through our validated in vitro and in planta assays.
- For top candidates, we develop and optimize the scale-up process in parallel with developing a prototype formulation.
- We help partners advance to commercialization with field trial design support and material generation.
Why Ginkgo
Our team begins with the end in mind. We know that insect control biologicals must be grower-friendly: potent, easy to use, and price-competitive.

Optimize Product Performance
Improve efficacy of your existing products or lead candidates
Your Starting Point
Your bioinsecticide product or your lead candidates
What We Offer: Optimization approaches tailored to your manufacturing and regulatory constraints
- You tell us the biochemical target you want to optimize for and your target optimization metric
- From there, we embark on one of two paths: media optimization or strain optimization
Why Ginkgo
Our team applies high and ultra-high-throughput methods to media optimization and non-GM strain optimization. Optimize your product’s performance, quickly.

Drive Down COGS
Access new markets through processes and inputs tailored to your manufacturing constraints
Your Starting Point
Your bioinsecticide product or your lead candidates
What We Offer: Process optimization and scale-up
- You tell us the biochemical target that drives your product’s insect control activity as well as your manufacturing constraints
- We start by evaluating hundreds of media combinations to find a starting point for further optimization
- We test multiple media parameters like temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen in parallel to find the optimal process
- We test the new media composition and process at scales up to 300L in our pilot plant
Why Ginkgo
Our team has deep expertise in fermentation and formulation for gram-positive strains. Test new processes from lab to pilot scale all under one roof.

Generate Data You Can Trust
Validate lead candidates using robust in vitro and in planta screening cascades
Your Starting Point
Your bioinsecticide lead candidates
What We Offer: Screening and selection
- You tell us about the insect target(s) and crop(s) for which you want to test your lead candidates’ activity.
- You provide samples of the candidates you want to test.
- We evaluate your lead candidates in our validated assays and share a pre-defined data package of our results.
Why Ginkgo
We’ve developed and validated in vitro and in planta assays across a broad spectrum of insects and crops. Rigorous science drives better biologicals.
