Business Summary
IGENE Biotechnology, Inc. is engaged in the business of developing, marketing and manufacturing industrial microbiology and related biotechnology products. AstaXin is IGENE's tradename for its dried yeast product made from a proprietary strain of yeast developed by the Company. AstaXin is a natural source of astaxanthin, a pigment that imparts the characteristic red color to the flesh of salmon, trout, prawns and certain other types of fish and shellfish. During 2000, IGENE began investigating other possible commercial uses of astaxanthin, including its application as a human nutritional supplement. The Company has formulated natural astaxanthin as a super-antioxidant, AstaBioCare, for the North American dietary supplement market.
