Biotechnology

OUR FOCUS AREAS

  • Isolation of microorganisms from a variety of samples
  • Identification of microorganisms
  • Genetic engineering: bacteria and yeasts
  • Optimization of biomolecule production
  • Biosafety level 1 and 2 gene expression from microorganism pathogens
  • Monitoring of microbial community evolution in bioprocesses and membrane technology processes
  • High-throughput sequencing of microbial communities
  • Production of microorganisms using biomolecules: for example, proteins, amino acids, alcohols, antibiotics, organic acids, biosurfactants, vitamins, polysaccharides, biocellulose, biofuels, etc.

CNETE CAN HELP YOU WITH
