Char-Eating Microbial Collection
Cyclobiome has cultivated a unique collection of over 500 char-eating microorganisms isolated from post-wildfire soils. Through genomic sequencing, we have identified and characterized their specialized pathways for char degradation and organic acid production. The image shows our pioneering fungal strain in action - the dark particles are char being actively absorbed and consumed by the fungal hyphae, demonstrating our microbes' remarkable ability to use char as a food source.
Cost-Effective Innovation
Our char-eating microbes have a unique ability to consume char as their primary food source. This revolutionary capability significantly reduces the cost of organic acid production compared to traditional methods that rely on sugar-based feedstocks.
Advanced Strain-Enhancement Platform
Cyclobiome leverages cutting-edge AI, genomics, adaptive evolution, and synthetic biology to evolve novel strains with improved leaching efficiency. Our AI-assisted genomics approach facilitates the assembly of synthetic consortia of superior strains, delivering unprecedented metal recovery efficiency that surpasses current hydrometallurgical rates.
Industrial-Scale Production
We have partnered with Solaris Biotechnology to assure scalability of our microbial products for industrial-scale applications. This strategic partnership enables us to maintain consistent quality and performance as we scale up our biotechnology solutions.
