Kingdom creates and sells
Superculture® ingredients

Superculture ingredients are a new class of ingredients invented by Kingdom to harness the untapped potential of natural microbes. Our ingredient portfolio focuses on functional ingredients for companion animals, which we deliver as live cultures or fermentates.

How it works

Step 1: Isolate natural strains

We’ve isolated tens of thousands of novel, natural microbial strains already found in food, which we’ve extensively characterized with modern methods. This constitutes one of the largest and most comprehensive biobanks of food-borne microbial diversity in the world.

How it works

STEP 2: Assemble new cultures

We combine cutting-edge automation and computation with groundbreaking analytical capacities to solve the “needle in a haystack” problem, and assemble our strains into Superculture® ingredients with unprecedented emergent functionalities.

How it works

STEP 3: Enable innovative products

We sell Superculture® ingredients to innovative brands to deliver new functional benefits.

STEP 3: Enable innovative products

How it works

STEP 1: ISOLATION AND ANALYSIS
We isolate individual, natural microbial, strains from everyday products and use cutting-edge machine learning to run them through extensive analytics and processing. This allows us to gather rich, in-depth insights into how and why various products are successful (or not).

How it works

STEP 2: RE-ASSEMBLY & ITERATIONAfter our extensive analysis, we take these isolated strains and re-assemble them together into novel, never-before-seen combinations, or “Supercultures”.

How it works

STEP 3: innovatIONThese novel Supercultures allow Manufacturers to create advanced, next-gen products with exciting functionalities that individual strains could never achieve alone. For instance: full-flavor wines & beers that are low alcohol. Rich & creamy yogurts and cheeses that are plant-based & dairy free. Effective personal care products that are free of artificial chemicals.
