Novel Microbial Ecology Platform 

Harness the power of natural microbial communities and their biological functions  in Health, Food, Agriculture, and Climate applications 

The Promise

In our planet's ecology, there are around a trillion species of bacteria with an enormous variety of biological and ecological functions.  
 

Today only 1% of these bacteria can be cultured 

​

EcoBiotaX uses advanced AI and novel biological capabilities to discover and construct natural-based microbial communities to address the desired functions in health, food, agriculture, and climate applications

ecoSat- Deep insights Computational Platform 

 

Our novel AI computational platfrom ( ecoSat ) natural bacterial ecology consortiums are based to address a desired biological function and define best-selected consultation to generate these functions based on the used media characteristics and environmental constraints   
 

Our Ecology Generation biological technology enables EcoBiotaX to  extract any type of bacteria based on its function from existing samples and generate the required ecologies
