AMODIA Bioservice GmbH services

You send us your isolated pure culture (bacteria, yeasts, moulds), and we identify those microorganisms using molecular-biological methods. So: Simply send isolates. For standard molecular identification we use the sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene of bacteria or the 18S rRNA gene of fungi, respectively. The sequence is used for a database query, and the result (species; sequence homology) is sent as a report.

In order to control biogas plants usually physico-chemical analysis is performed. But the chemical processes in a biogas fermenter are performed by a variety of different microorganisms. In a research project (FNR: 22005812) we were able to demonstrate that fermenters of biogas plants may be classified according to the composition of methanogenic bacteria (archaea). This classification of biogas fermenters can be correlated with physico-chemical parameters, but goes way beyond. he composition of methanogenic archaea changes even before this shows up in physico-chemical analysis. An unintended shift of i.e. the hydrogenotrophic towards the acetoclastic methanogenesis  may have a major impact on methane output. With a classification of your biogas fermenter you and/or your consultant is better prepared on how to react correctly to inhibitions in methane production.

The term "Microbial Induced Corrosion" (MIC) regards to microorganisms which cause or accelerate the destruction of surfaces of materials. This concerns metals, concrete, stones, polymers or other substances. In order to fight corrosion it is important to know the root cause for it. This judgement should be done by experts. To these experts AMODIA offers diagnostics to confirm or exclude MIC. For a confirmed MIC, AMODIA offers further analysis to select the best measures to stop propagation of MIC and future against it.

Our OEM detection platforms do not match your needs exactly? Then maybe an adaption according to your specifications is an option. Possible adaptions are e.g. the size of test strips, development speed etc. So: Simply order a test adaption.
