Microbiology innovation & services
StrainFoundry delivers advanced microbiological solutions to help you understand, optimize, and harness microbial systems. Combining deep scientific expertise with state-of-the-art technologies, we turn complex microbiome data into actionable insights.
What We Do
We provide end-to-end microbiome analysis and strain development services, including:
Strain Isolation & Cultivation
Recovery and cultivation of bacterial strains using advanced, targeted techniques.
Microbiome Characterization
High-resolution DNA sequencing and analysis to identify who is present in a microbial community, and in what abundance.
Genotypic & Phenotypic Analysis
Comprehensive profiling of microbial isolates and communities, including metabolic capabilities and functional traits.
Bioinformatics & Functional Insights
Analysis of metabolic pathways, drug–microbiome interactions, and identification and quantification of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs).
Genome Sequencing
Whole-genome sequencing of isolates to uncover their full genetic potential.
Applications
We support a wide range of applications, such as:
· Quality assessment of natural and engineered microbial systems
· Bioremediation, identifying and optimizing microbes that break down toxic compounds
· Antimicrobial resistance analysis, including ARG profiling
· Microbial community optimization for desired functional outcomes
Our Expertise
We have extensive experience working with:
· Human microbiomes (our core specialization)
· Animal microbiomes
· Environmental microbiomes, including bioreactors, soil, and other complex ecosystems
Our ongoing work includes large-scale projects exploring the diversity and functionality of soil microbiomes across different environments.
Why StrainFoundry?
We go beyond identifying microbes. We help you understand what they do and how to use them. From discovery to functional insight, we provide the tools and expertise to unlock the full potential of microbiomes.
