![]() Microbe Research Home PageMicrobe Research LLC is engaged in the discovery and development of powerful and versatile new systems for the genetic manipulation of anaerobic bacteria belonging to the genus Clostridium and close relatives. Genetic engineering tools and methods under development by Microbe Research are characterized by high efficiency, precise targeting, and minimal required steps to reach desired outcomes.
As biotechnological applications of Clostridium and other anaerobes expands, so will the need for efficient, precise, and easy to use genetic systems to probe those organisms and engineer their applications.
The coming expansion of applied biotechnology of anaerobes is an opportunity for Microbe Research to address a growing need for genetic engineering tools specifically tailored for Clostridium species and other obligately anaerobic bacteria.
Bacteriophage image
Bacteriophage particles from a high-titer lysate propagated on Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 as the host strain are shown in the upper-right TEM image of this web page. The negative stain is 1% uranyl acetate. The capsid diameter is about 60 nanometers. The phage was isolated in the lab of Dr. Thomas M. Schmidt of the University of Michigan.
