MICROBES IN NATURE
Microbes have planetary impact and potential
Microbes contain more genetic and chemical diversity than the rest of the world combined
Microbial communities protect their ecosystem by producing chemistries that target invading pathogens and break down pollutants – creating a safer and greener planet
These chemistries can be harnessed for human use
MICROBIAL PRODUCTS
1% of microbes already changed the world
Microbial products include gene therapies, statins, vitamins, and cleaner industrials. These products are used by >8 billion people every week
Microbes are also responsible for most of the world’s antibiotics, antifungals, and fungicides– providing the foundation for modern healthcare and agriculture
All these products derive from the small proportion of microbes (1%) that can be screened using standard techniques
BACTOBIO’S SOLUTION
We uniquely access the remaining 99%
We use AI, genomics and synthetic biology to map microbial dependencies. We can then bring the previously unculturable 99% of microbes into the lab
Our library of >4,000 new species is the world's most differentiated natural collection
We systematically explore our collection across modalities using AI, resulting in unparalleled understanding of microbial potential
We turn this potential into products with planetary impact
