<strong>Publication in </strong>

</strong>
<strong> of a paper describing the mechanism of enzymes yielding renewable isobutene</strong>

<strong> (France)</strong>
<strong>, </strong>

<strong>September</strong>
<strong>2021 -</strong>
<strong>A paper describing the results of collaborative work between Global Bioenergies and the team of Dr. David Leys at the University of Manchester has been published today in </strong>
<strong>
<em>Nature Communications</em>
</strong>
<strong>.</strong>
</p>
<p align="justify">This paper describes the evolution and mechanism of isobutene forming enzymes far superior to previously used catalysts. Isobutene, a gaseous hydrocarbon, is one of the major building blocks of the petrochemical
industry: 15 million tons are produced every year and are turned into fuels, plastics, elastomers and cosmetic ingredients.</p>
<p align="justify">This is the first time a member of a widespread enzyme family that depends on an unusual vitamin B2 derivative has been repurposed to yield isobutene. This has been made possible through the extensive work
performed on both sides of the Channel, with laboratory guided evolution carried out at Global Bioenergies, and detailed structure analysis of the the evolved enzymes at the University of Manchester. </p>
<p align="justify">David Leys, group leader at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology of The University of Manchester, says: “Our collaboration with Global Bioenergies on the subject of isobutene production combines in a unique
manner quantitative molecular bioscience and industrial, high-throughput approaches. It is very satisfying to see how fundamental understanding of these enzymes obtained with European Research Council funding supports industrial
application. The evolved enzymes represent several orders of magnitude improvement in the efficiency of isobutene bioproduction, directly contributing to an economically viable and renewable process, thus contributing to a more
sustainable future.”</p>
<p align="justify">Marc Delcourt, co-founder and CEO of Global Bioenergies, adds: “<em>Nature Communications</em> stands among the high-class peer-reviewed scientific journals. We are very pleased to see the work we conducted
jointly with the team of Dr. David Leys reaches such a striking scientific recognition. The evolved enzymes, on which Global Bioenergies holds exclusive intellectual property rights for the isobutene production, will have a
significant role in the environmental transition our world is now engaged in.“</p>
<p align="justify">As an alternative to fossil isobutene, Global Bioenergies assembled a modified pathway and developed a process for the fermentative conversion of glucose and other feedstocks into isobutene. The crucial final step
yielding the desired product makes use of a decarboxylase enzyme. This particular enzyme has been evolved from naturally occuring microbial decarboxylases that depend on an elaborately modified Vitamin B2 (called prenylated flavin
or prFMN) for activity. The Leys group has been at the forefront of studying these prFMN-dependent catalysts, and determined structure and biochemical properties of isobutene yielding enzymes evolved by Global Bioenergies. The
company screened an enzyme library for inherent isobutene production activity, and used directed evolution to yields variants with up to an 80-fold increase in activity. Structure determination of the evolved catalysts reveal that
changes in the enzyme pocket are responsible for improved production.</p>
<p>
<strong>About GLOBAL BIOENERGIES</strong>
</p>
<p align="justify">Global Bioenergies has developed a process to convert plant-derived resources into a key family of ingredients used in the cosmetics industry. The process was first developed in a laboratory, where the Company is
further enhancing performance. It now operates as a pilot and a demo plant, with sufficient capacity to enable the Company to access the market by first creating a long-lasting makeup home brand launched in 2021ʼ. The Company is
gradually increasing its production capacities and is looking to improve the environmental footprint of not only the cosmetics industry but also that of other areas such as transportation and materials. Global Bioenergies is
listed on Euronext Growth Paris (FR0011052257 – ALGBE).</p>

PUBLICATION IN NATURE COMMUNICATIONS OF A PAPER DESCRIBING THE MECHANISM OF
ENZYMES YIELDING RENEWABLE ISOBUTENE
Publication in Nature Communications of a paper describing the mechanism of
enzymes yielding renewable isobutene
Publication in Nature Communications of a paper describing the mechanism of

Evry (France) , 6 September 2021 - A paper describing the results of
collaborative work between Global Bioenergies and the team of Dr. David Leys at
the University of Manchester has been published today in Nature Communications .
This paper describes the evolution and mechanism of isobutene forming enzymes
far superior to previously used catalysts. Isobutene, a gaseous hydrocarbon, is
one of the major building blocks of the petrochemical industry: 15 million tons
are produced every year and are turned into fuels, plastics, elastomers and
cosmetic ingredients.
This is the first time a member of a widespread enzyme family that depends on an
unusual vitamin B2 derivative has been repurposed to yield isobutene. This has
been made possible through the extensive work performed on both sides of the
Channel, with laboratory guided evolution carried out at Global Bioenergies, and
detailed structure analysis of the the evolved enzymes at the University of
Manchester.
David Leys, group leader at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology of The
University of Manchester, says: “Our collaboration with Global Bioenergies on
the subject of isobutene production combines in a unique manner quantitative
molecular bioscience and industrial, high-throughput approaches. It is very
satisfying to see how fundamental understanding of these enzymes obtained with
European Research Council funding supports industrial application. The evolved
enzymes represent several orders of magnitude improvement in the efficiency of
isobutene bioproduction, directly contributing to an economically viable and
renewable process, thus contributing to a more sustainable future.”
Marc Delcourt, co-founder and CEO of Global Bioenergies, adds: “Nature
Communications stands among the high-class peer-reviewed scientific journals. We
are very pleased to see the work we conducted jointly with the team of Dr. David
Leys reaches such a striking scientific recognition. The evolved enzymes, on
which Global Bioenergies holds exclusive intellectual property rights for the
isobutene production, will have a significant role in the environmental
transition our world is now engaged in.“
As an alternative to fossil isobutene, Global Bioenergies assembled a modified
pathway and developed a process for the fermentative conversion of glucose and
other feedstocks into isobutene. The crucial final step yielding the desired
product makes use of a decarboxylase enzyme. This particular enzyme has been
evolved from naturally occuring microbial decarboxylases that depend on an
elaborately modified Vitamin B2 (called prenylated flavin or prFMN) for
activity. The Leys group has been at the forefront of studying these
prFMN-dependent catalysts, and determined structure and biochemical properties
of isobutene yielding enzymes evolved by Global Bioenergies. The company
screened an enzyme library for inherent isobutene production activity, and used
directed evolution to yields variants with up to an 80-fold increase in
activity. Structure determination of the evolved catalysts reveal that changes
in the enzyme pocket are responsible for improved production.
About GLOBAL BIOENERGIES
Global Bioenergies has developed a process to convert plant-derived resources
into a key family of ingredients used in the cosmetics industry. The process was
first developed in a laboratory, where the Company is further enhancing
performance. It now operates as a pilot and a demo plant, with sufficient
capacity to enable the Company to access the market by first creating a
long-lasting makeup home brand launched in 2021ʼ. The Company is gradually
increasing its production capacities and is looking to improve the environmental
footprint of not only the cosmetics industry but also that of other areas such
as transportation and materials. Global Bioenergies is listed on Euronext Growth
Paris (FR0011052257 – ALGBE).
