MICROBIOLOGY LAB
 

 


A C T I V I T I E S

Culture collections (stored at -80 °C)
Research, identification and typing of microorganisms :
  Bacteria
  Moistures
  Yeasts
   
On food products, equipment surfaces (steel, wood) or on environment, sludge, health care products, others devices or materials ...
 
Bacterial typing
 
  ECP (genomic profiles)
  PCR, RAPD
Microbiological biofilm
Antiseptic substance validation assays (disinfecting, essential oils products)
Studies of inhibition process efficiency against pathogenic bacteria (Campylobacter, Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli 0157:H7, ...) and spoilage flora(Pseudomonas, Brochotrix, ...)

 
  Physical treatments (irradiation,...)
  Chemical treatments (ozone, additives, ...)
  Biological treatments (bacteriocin, technological flora , enzymatic system,...)
 
Technological useful microorganisms , characterisations and integration in industrial processes (bacteria, molds, yeast ...)
