Corporate Mission

C5-6 Technologies is a company focused on the commercial enzyme opportunities in biofuels. Its mission is to commercialize high-value enzymes in the biofuels and biorefining markets through the utilization of the power of its proprietary technical platform to selectively mine novel microbes from the planet's trove of previously uncloned, and therefore, untapped genetic material.
