Yeast is one of the most important microorganisms known and utilised by mankind. Ancient Middle Eastern civilisations used the organism to bake bread and to produce mead, beer and wine.

Some Bacillus species are crucial for advancing our understanding of bacteria, while others can be harmful, acting as spoilage organisms or pathogens. Nevertheless, all these species are significant in biotechnological research.

Microbiological assessment of bacteria found in spices, a potent source for food spoilage and pathogens.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
