variety of ailments. Although they are naturally occurring, CMH Biotechnologies Inc. has patented the process_x000D_
of biocatalysis of cannabinoids using single-celled organisms, thereby producing large amounts of these_x000D_
cannabinoids in relatively high purity, which can be used for analytical reference materials and as_x000D_
pharmaceutical grade cannabinoids. The biosynthesis has been observed to be non-specific with many minor_x000D_
cannabinoids being produced. The purpose of this Engage grant is to evaluate the structures of these low-level_x000D_
metabolites being produced in the biosynthetic pathways and establish whether they are naturally occurring or_x000D_
novel compounds with potential therapeutic activity. This partnership will combine biotechnology and_x000D_
advanced analytical chemistry for a better understanding of the impacts on cannabinoid biocatalysis., program purpose french : Phytocannabinoids have received considerable attention due to their potential as therapeutic agents for a wide_x000D_
