Introduction to our microbial characterization services

Identification and characterization of microorganisms are critical parts of the management of industrial manufacturing, tracing contaminants and preventing spoilage, to ensure product safety and quality. Both Food Safety Authority (FDA) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) require full knowledge of the microorganisms used as food ingredients or production strains. We offer complete genome-based solutions to help you meet the requirements for regulatory approval. Besides, microbial characterization is also important for basic research, soil microbiome analysis, and so on.

Our molecular biology methods for microbial strain identification and characterization include quantitative PCR, 16S/18S/ITS gene sequencing, microbial whole-genome sequencing, metagenomics, microbial identification and strain typing. We help you identify microbial strains and assess whether it poses a safety concern or is likely to be heat-resistant. To support strain development and optimization of microorganisms used as feed or food additive, we offer antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) screening, identification of mobile genetic elements that promote transfer of antibiotic resistance genes to other microorganisms, functional annotation, plasmid identification, gene copy number analysis, SNP analysis, gene expression analysis, and genome comparison analysis.

Microbial characterization workflow

We perform complete genome-based microbial strain characterization required by EFSA or FDA.
