MYCOSPHERE
is at the interface between countries having excellent biodiversity and the
industry specialized in the discovery of new products from natural sources.
MYCOSPHERE's
aim is to explore untapped
ecological niches world-wide and isolate original microbial taxa, so as to
propose an optimized diversity of both organisms and chemicals for research. We take
charge of the following pioneer steps necessary for the down-stream processes of successful
natural product discovery programs:
- Establishment of bioprospection agreements with countries having excellent and
untapped biodiversity,
- Field work, collection of samples and isolation of fungi in often difficult
conditions and remote locations,
- Further isolation, identification and culture of microorganisms in laboratory
conditions,
- Small scale fermentation and production of microbial extracts for screening.
Our collaborators will enjoy key
benefits such as:
- Access to an excellent diversity of biological resources
in full respect of the Rio Convention on Biodiversity, without
the difficulties and risks involved in the actual collection process,
- Expertise and know-how in microbial isolation and fermentation, especially
pertaining to fungi,
- Quality and
customized services.
We are dedicated to meet our
customers' needs and requirements for
successful discoveries.
