NCIMB supports discovery research requiring novel and specific uses of micro-organisms.

Discovery research projects have included:

• Find bacterial strains that prolifically produce a specific enzyme
• Identify bacterial strains that produce compounds active against MRSA
• Identify bacteria that have potential as probiotics to treat gastro-intestinal infections
• Develop a novel multi-bacterial assay to test the toxicity of environmental and other pollutants
• Please contact us to find out more about how NCIMB can improve the performance of your discovery research.
