Can "good bacteria" be used to maintain good health as we grow older? Scottish biotech company @ncimb has teamed-up with the pioneering @rowett_abdn at the University of Aberdeen, to address this question in a new research project, funded by @innovateuk. Discover more at https://t.co/iXdNuesHPs
GMP Annex 1 guidelines state that microorganisms detected in grade A and B areas should be identified to species level. In this blog our identification services manager Vikki Warren looks at the options available for species level identification: https://t.co/T3i6L4gGL7
Bacteria are one of the main sources of natural pigments and our microbial culture collection includes many pigmented strains. Pigmented bacteria have many applications in biotechnology...and microbe art! Cupid and heart by NCIMB senior scientist Sammi McIntosh.
We're delighted to be sponsoring the Carbon Recycling Network Annual Conference this year. The networkΒ is focused on the biological, chemical and process engineering aspects of carbon recycling that support the re-use and exploitation of single carbon (C1) greenhouse gases.
A recent paper has highlighted the potential of bacteria in microplastic bioremediation. The study undertaken by the University of Oviedo in Spain studied microplastic degradation by 3 strains and found C. testosteroni NCIMB 8955 showed the highest rate: https://t.co/0GE8fR5bTn
