About PrismBio
The company was founded on the science that natural colors can be produced sustainably, economically and at a large scale via biotechnology to meet these unique demands. PrismBio pioneers the use of biotechnology to produce natural protein-pigment based colors, utilizing proprietary microbes to deliver all colors in the visible spectrum.
These capabilities are the result of significant advancements in microbial and plant protein-pigment technology, protein engineering, strain development, separations, and formulations. The technology platform is supported by decades of research on natural light-sensing pigment systems from plants and algae.

Our Colors
PrismBio is an easy one-stop-shop for all your colorant needs. We are developing a full spectrum of natural colorants that have utility across many applications, including:
food, cosmetics, textiles, industrial, paint, printing, pharma, medical devices, diagnostics, research and optogenetics.
All colors are produced based on naturally derived photosynthetic bacterial colorants. All PrismBio natural pigments show pronounced photo- and thermo-stability and retain their color across a broad range of pH.
In addition to our stable colorants, our proprietary ColorSwitch technology allows PrismBio colorants to switch colors using simple lasers, creating messaging, branding and other designs directly on the product. Green can switch to violet and blue to red. The possibilities are endless, and the product differentiation is substantial in these very competitive consumer packaged goods markets.
