Microbial Biodiversity: Biocatalyst and Natural Products Screening

KAIROS' cell-based, high-throughput screening technology can be used to analyze microbial biodiversity in complex populations of uncultured organisms. By identifying cells that generate particular products (even within a complex background), one can quickly find novel organisms and genes with desirable properties. Applications include:

Biocatalysts:
Industrial enzymes
Novel biosynthetic pathways
Metabolic engineering
Extremophiles
Bioremediation
Biotransformation
Biomass conversion
Fermentation optimization
Expression hosts
Strain improvement

Natural products and medicinal chemistry:
Antibiotics
Cancer drugs
Biopharmaceuticals
Vitamins
Nutritional supplements
Biopolymers
Pigments
