Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Maxx Chatsko]

  The company will now compete more readily with industry leaders Novozymes from Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO  ) and Genencor from DuPont (NYSE: DD  ) . However, the biggest effects could be felt at Codexis (NASDAQ: CDXS  ) , which has also licensed the cutting-edge host organism from Dyadic. Will BASF's push into industrial enzymes, specifically using the C1 platform, vindicate Codexis or shove it out of! the way?
