1、evocatal GmbH 更名為 evoxx
2016年10月：德國海姆的一家生物催化公司evocatal更名為evoxx技術。這次更名是在evocatal和碳水化合物專家aevotis完成合并之后（似乎他們對首字母大寫并不是特別感冒）。
2、Codexis完成了對默克的CodeEvolver?技術交付
2016年10月5日：Codexis宣布完成專有CodeEvolver?蛋白質工程平臺技術向默克轉移的第二個也是最后一個階段，簽署了一份排他性的許可協議。Codexis在2016年第四季度將會收到默克的800萬美元的里程碑支付。
3、Zymergen融資1.3億美元
2016年10月11日，合成生物和通路工程科技公司Zymergen日前宣布獲得1.3億美元由軟銀牽頭的B輪融資。該公司從2013年成立至今已經完成了超過2億美元的增長。
4、諾維信推出首個生物泡沫控制劑
2016年11月8號，世界領先的工業酶公司諾維信宣布推出一種名為FermaxTM新的蛋白酶產品，這種蛋白酶能夠減少發酵過程中泡沫的產生，如從甘蔗乙醇的發酵過程。更多此蛋白酶的信息見下面的酶介紹。
5、Codexis宣布與Tate & Lyle簽訂酶供應協議
2016年12月6日，Codexis宣布與Tate & Lyle簽訂一份排他性協議，作為Tate & Lyle的食品原料生產中使用專有酶的全球材料和解決方案的提供者。
