High-performance culturomics
Discover our mass screening and cultivation technologies
Problem
More than 99% of microbial species in any environmental sample remain uncultivable using conventional laboratory techniques. This means that most microorganisms with unique traits and potential industrial applications are overlooked in traditional bioprospecting efforts.
Solution
We are experts in the isolation of difficult-to-culture species.
At DARWIN, we specialize in unlocking this hidden microbial diversity.
Through our proprietary culturing technologies, we can recover a much larger fraction of naturally occurring microorganisms from virtually any type of environmental sample. We excel at:
- Isolating difficult-to-culture species
- Enriching and simplifying natural microbial consortia
- Designing ad hoc strategies to fit each client’s needs
Our approach combines next-generation 4D culturing methods with high-throughput screening platforms (in silico, in vitro, and in vivo) to identify and select the most promising strains in record time.
This pioneering methodology enables the discovery of previously uncultivated taxa, shedding light on microbial dark matter while revealing their roles, functions, and potential applications in biotechnology
