About Bacta
Founded in 2024 and based in Paris, France, Lastix Biotech SAS, trading under the name Bacta, operates as a biotechnology research company that develops and produces biosynthetic carbon-negative natural rubber from engineered microorganisms and renewable feedstocks. The company was founded by its CEO, Mathieu Nohet.vc. The company specializes in the development of carbon-negative, biosynthetic natural rubber using advanced bioengineering. Bacta's approach employs a mixotrophic process where microorganisms capture CO2 and other renewable carbon sources to synthesize isoprene. The process involves fermentation with AI-designed enzymes, polymerization through proprietary synthetic organelles, and purification to deliver hypoallergenic rubber with ultra-low impurity levels. This method is carbon-neutral and has a carbon-negative impact of up to -151%, making it a sustainable alternative. Bacta combines AI-driven discovery with synthetic biology, achieving a consistent product through its platform.
