Levadura Biotechnology Enters US Cannabis Market

Cannabis use is growing mainstream whether for recreational purposes or pharmaceutical; more and more people are finding a way to incorporate cannabis into their lifestyles. Not everyone will want to use products like dry cannabis or cannabis oil and will turn instead to convenient and familiar products containing the cannabinoids they seek. For this reason, many companies are entering the cannabinoid biosynthesis market, Levadura Biotechnology now included. 

Levadura had their first patent application (US Pub. No. 20200224231) published for a way to produce cannabinoids using engineered yeast and fatty acids. There are now over 80 patent filings in the US related to the synthesis of cannabinoids and over 25 companies with ownership.
