Microbial Consortia Design
Designing synergistic multi-species synthetic consortia
What we do
We employ top-down and bottom-up microbiome engineering strategies to engineer and develop microbial consortia for high-yield bioproduction. We enrich, isolate, and/or assemble synthetic microbial consortia from well-characterized strains, each fulfilling a defined ecological role. This design allows simplified consortia with reduced metabolic redundancy, enhanced productivity, and optimized yields of target bioproducts that are tailored for industrial applications.
What we do
We employ top-down and bottom-up microbiome engineering approaches to engineer microbial consortia for high-yield biochemical production. We enrich, isolate, and/or assemble streamlined microbial consortia where each organism or microbial population fulfills a defined ecological niche, allowing for a simplified consortia with reduced metabolic redundancy, enhanced productivity, and optimized yields of target bioproducts that are tailored for industrial relevance.
