Personalized microbial solutions
Four billion years ago, life appeared on Earth in the shape of bacterial communities. Since then, microorganisms have evolved to make a habitable planet and to harbor a fabulous diversity of metabolic pathways and chemical abilities…
In this context, DARWIN emerges from selection: the selection of the best microorganisms for industrial use. We are experts in sampling and analyzing the microbiome associated to any type of environment, using advanced culturing and high-throughput sequencing techniques. We provide personalized microbial solutions to companies from around the world.
