Problem
Only a small fraction of bacterial species are culturable using traditional methods, limiting the potential to harness the full diversity of the microbiome for beneficial applications. This lack of access to uncultured bacteria hinders the development of effective microbial solutions for various industries.
Solution
BiotaX employs an AI-driven computational biology platform to construct tailored, natural microbial communities for specific functions across health, food, agriculture, and climate sectors. The platform leverages advanced AI and novel biological capabilities to discover and assemble natural-based microbial consortia. By extracting bacteria based on function, BiotaX can generate ecologies designed to address desired biological functions, considering media characteristics and environmental constraints. The ecoSat computational platform facilitates the selection of optimal microbial combinations to generate these functions.
