Bota Biosciences (Bota Bio, 恩和科技) is an industrial and synthetic biology company that applies AI-driven computation and laboratory automation to bio-manufacturing. Its in-house Bota Biofoundry and Cell2Cloud platforms combine computational algorithms, non-model industrial strain engineering, rapid iterative enzyme engineering and performance protein design to shorten design-build-test-learn cycles, and in March 2026 it launched SAION AI, a three-layer "Physical AI" platform (cognition, orchestration, execution) that drives laboratory hardware through a proprietary Biological Protocol Language. Bota commercializes this work as physical ingredients rather than software: Purtect bio-preservatives (nisin, natamycin, ε-poly-lysine, lysozyme), Prorylia biomimetic proteins and Re² Coffea Arabica peptides, sold through its HeliaGenesis food and nutrition brand and its YuccaElements personal care brand, with partnerships including BASF, Proya, Syensqo and Puratos. Founded in 2019 with operations in Hangzhou, China and the San Francisco Bay Area, Bota publishes no developer portal, no public API documentation, no SDKs and no machine-readable specification; its computational software is internal laboratory tooling and its SAION AI application is reachable only through a login with an administrator-managed account whitelist.
