Introduction

Phenotypic screening and selection is a crucial step in the development of novel strains with improved performance in synthetic biology. With the increasing demand for high-value products and sustainable solutions, there is a growing need for efficient and effective screening methods that can identify the most promising strains for further development. At CD Biosynsis, we offer a range of services for phenotypic screening and selection, utilizing cutting-edge technologies and expertise in synthetic biology to deliver the best possible results for our clients.

Our Services for Phenotypic Screening and Selection

High-throughput Screening

High-throughput Screening

High-throughput screening is a powerful tool for rapidly assessing the performance of large numbers of strains. At CD Biosynsis, we utilize a variety of high-throughput screening technologies, including DNA microarrays, RNAi, and CRISPR/Cas9. These technologies allow us to target specific genes and pathways and identify the most effective combinations of genetic traits.

Mutagenesis and Phenotypic Selection

Mutagenesis and Phenotypic Selection

Mutagenesis and phenotypic selection is another powerful tool for generating novel strains with improved performance in specific environments or applications. At CD Biosynsis, we employ a mutagenesis and phenotypic selection approach that involves generating a collection of random mutants, followed by phenotype analysis to identify strains with desirable traits. This approach has been successful in a range of applications, including the domestication of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strains for improved performance in photobioreactors.

Natural Product-Based Screening

Natural Product-Based Screening

Natural product-based screening is a valuable tool for identifying novel compounds and drug candidates with promising biological activity. At CD Biosynsis, we utilize natural product-based screening to identify compounds and drug candidates with potential applications in synthetic biology and beyond.
