Strain Design Service
Create Your Own Designer Strain
Our Strain Design service allows you to bring your vision of a custom fungal strain to life. Whether you’re seeking unique traits like enhanced secondary metabolite production, faster colonization, or specific growth characteristics, we employ a range of advanced techniques to create a strain tailored to your goals within the limits of biology.
What We Offer:
- Tailored Strain Development: We work closely with you to design a strain that embodies the traits you desire, whether it's yield improvement, secondary metabolite production, aesthetics, or growth behavior.
- Flexible Techniques: While hybridization may be part of the process, we also employ techniques such as mutagenesis, selective trait enhancement, and other specialized methods to achieve your desired outcome.
- Expert Consultation: Our team of fungal specialists will guide you through the design process, offering insights and recommendations to ensure the best possible results.
Service Highlights:
- Custom Results: We develop strains based on your needs, whether it's for performance improvements, novel appearances, or specific biological characteristics.
- Multiple Methods: From hybridization to genetic refinement at the monokaryon stage, we use a variety of techniques to achieve the desired strain design.
- Ongoing Communication: You’ll receive updates and insights throughout the development process, with our experts providing support as your new strain takes shape.
Strain Design vs. Strain Improvement:
- Strain Design: This service is for those looking to create an entirely new strain with specific desired traits. It involves a custom approach that may include hybridization and other advanced techniques to generate a unique fungal organism that meets your specific goals.
- Strain Improvement: In contrast, our Strain Improvement service focuses on enhancing an existing strain's characteristics. This may involve optimizing traits such as yield, secondary metabolite production, or disease resistance, using methods tailored to the specific strain being refined.
Turnaround Time:
Strain design is a complex and tailored process, typically requiring several months. We provide a detailed timeline once we begin the project, based on your specific requirements.
Pricing:
Since each strain design is custom-built, pricing will depend on the complexity and scope of your project. Contact us for a consultation and a personalized quote.
Shipping & Free Storage:
Once the strain is complete, you can either have it shipped directly to you or take advantage of free storage in our culture bank. This ensures that your strain is safely stored and accessible whenever you need it.
Additional Information: Improved and designer strains created through our Strain Improvement or Design service are officially registered with the Fungal Breeding Society. Both Strain Improvement and Strain Design services allow for free deposit and one-time withdrawal of your strain, ensuring safe storage and easy access.
Note on Biological Limits:
While we strive to push the boundaries of what can be achieved through fungal genetics, there are natural biological limits. Within those constraints, we offer innovative and effective solutions to create extraordinary results.
