Collaborative Arrangement Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 3: Research and Collaboration Agreements, Sublicense Agreements, and Investments in Privately Held Companies Gates Foundation Grant In November 2024, Gates Foundation (the “Gates Foundation”) awarded the Company a grant in the amount of $3,092,136 for the cell line development of monoclonal antibodies targeting respiratory syncytial virus and malaria utilizing the Company’s C1 platform to provide globally accessible treatment options for underserved populations (the “Gates Foundation Grant”). In December 2024, the Company received approximately $0.8 million of the Gates Foundation Grant, and the remaining award will be received later in 2025 and 2026 in the amounts of approximately $1.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, subject to potential modifications of timing and amounts. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company has recognized $176,000 grant revenue and $143,000 in cost of grant revenue, in connection with the Gates Foundation Grant. Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) Grant On March 20, 2025, the Company received a funding award from CEPI to advance Dyadic’s C1 platform through a $4.5 million grant through Fondazione Biotecnopolo di Siena (“FBS”) to accelerate recombinant protein vaccine development and manufacturing. The funding will support antigen design, cell line development, optimization, characterization, and scale-up to cGMP manufacturing. If successful, the next phase will focus on selecting a CEPI-priority pathogen antigen. Dyadic, as a subcontractor, will receive up to $2.4 million of the total grant funding. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company has recognized $34,000 in grant revenue and $28,000 in cost of grant revenue, in connection with the CEPI Grant. Proliant On June 27, 2024, the Company entered into a License and Development Agreement (the “Proliant Agreement”) with Proliant Biologicals, LLC d/b/a Proliant Health and Biologicals (“Proliant”), pursuant to which, Proliant will license Dyadic’s proprietary fungal microbial expression and production platforms and microbial strains for the production of recombinant serum albumin, for an initial period of 10 years with an option to extend for an additional 3 years under certain circumstances. Under the terms of the Proliant Agreement, Dyadic has received an initial upfront payment of $500,000 and a second payment of $500,000 upon the completion of the transfer of a Production Strain (as defined in the Proliant Agreement.) for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company will receive a final payment of $500,000 upon the meeting of a certain productivity threshold. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not receive any additional payments under the Proliant Agreement. Upon commencing commercial sales of animal-free recombinant serum albumin products produced pursuant to the Proliant Agreement, the Company will receive royalties based on a certain percentage of the gross margin received by Proliant, as defined in the Proliant Agreement. Inzymes ApS On September 18, 2023, Dyadic International (USA) Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, signed a Development and Exclusive License Agreement (the “Inzymes Agreement”) with Inzymes ApS (“Inzymes”), a Denmark corporation, to develop and commercialize certain non-animal dairy enzymes used in the production of food products using Dyadic’s proprietary Dapibus™ platform. In October 2023, the Company received an upfront payment of $0.6 million in accordance with the terms of the Inzymes Agreement. On October 11, 2024, the Inzymes Agreement was amended (“the Amended Inzymes Agreement”) to change the scope of research and development services required under the agreement as well as adjust the success fees upon the achievement of certain target yields, milestone payments upon first commercial sale of each product and royalties. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has completed all product research and development services and satisfied all related performance obligations under the Amended Inzymes Agreement, and recognized $890,169 in license revenues, including success fees upon the achievement of target yield of one related product. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company also recognized research and development revenues of $25,000 related to the Amended Inzymes Agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 , there was no research and development revenue recognized related to the Inzymes Agreement. The Company will continue evaluating the achievement of milestones related to target yields and product commercialization of each product when they are considered probable and estimable under the Inzymes Agreement. Alphazyme In 2019 the Company entered into a sub-licensing agreement with Alphazyme, LLC (“Alphazyme”) that was subsequently amended (the “Amended Alphazyme LLC Agreement”). Under the Amended Alphazyme LLC Agreement, Alphazyme obtained additional capital contribution and Dyadic’s ownership was diluted to 1.99%. The Company evaluated the nature of its equity interest investment in Alphazyme and determined that Alphazyme is a VIE due to the capital structure of the entity. However, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Alphazyme as Dyadic does not have the power to control or direct the activities of Alphazyme that most significantly impact the VIE. As a result, the Company does not consolidate its investment in Alphazyme. The Company reports its investment in Alphazyme under the cost method of accounting, given that it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence or control over Alphazyme. On January 18, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, under which the Company agreed to sell its equity interest in Alphazyme, LLC (the “Alphazyme Sale Agreement”). The Company continues to have the potential to receive additional payments based on the future sales of Alphazyme’s existing products, pursuant to the Alphazyme Sale Agreement. The Amended Sublicense Agreement between Dyadic and Alphazyme, which was previously entered on June 24, 2020, remains in effect. Under the Amended Alphazyme Sub-License Agreement, Dyadic is entitled to potential milestone and royalty payments upon the commercialization of Alphazyme products using Dyadic’s proprietary C1-cell protein production platform. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company received a total cash payment of $1.3 million from the sale of its equity interest in Alphazyme, LLC. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company received an additional cash payment of $60,977, which was recorded as gain on sale of Alphazyme in the consolidated statement of operations. There was no revenue recognized related to Alphazyme in 2025.
