Abstract

This study presents an investigation of patents data for detection of technological and market trends in bioprocesses and bio-products synthesis using more than one microbial culture in the cultivation medium. Patents from 1909 to 2017 were collected and a two-stage sigmoid function was successfully used (R2 = 0.997) to model the prospected documents, contributing for better understanding of the development stage of the technique assessed. There were found 632 different patents, published mainly in the United States and China. The business sector was responsible for the development of 50% of the technical inventions. The technique development is rising rapidly after a period of slow growth (1909 to 1997), pushed mainly by bio-based chemicals and biofuels industries. The use of microorganisms in co-cultivation in bioprocesses and bio-products synthesis revealed

high potential for value generation in the coming decades, awakening great corporate interest.
