Isolation and Identification: We isolate bacteria from various sources like soil, water, and food, employing traditional and molecular methods for their precise identification.

Biochemical and Molecular Characterization:

Through a combination of enzyme assays and DNA sequencing, we unravel the metabolic capabilities and unique characteristics of these bacteria.

Antimicrobial Activity Analysis: We explore the potential of bacteria to combat harmful pathogens, searching for natural alternatives to antibiotics and antifungal agents.

Susceptibility Testing: We determine the effectiveness of existing antibiotics against various bacterial strains, aiding in the development of targeted treatment strategies.

Enzymatic Assays: We assess the production of key enzymes like amylase, lipase, and protease, identifying bacteria with potential applications in industry and environmental cleanup.

Media and Growth Optimization: We optimize growth conditions such as media composition, pH, and temperature to maximize the production of desired enzymes from specific bacteria.

Secondary Metabolite Screening: We delve into the world of secondary metabolites produced by bacteria, potentially leading to the discovery of novel bioactive compounds for medicine, agriculture, or industrial applications.

Bacterial Agglutination Studies: We investigate the ability of antibodies to clump bacteria, a technique with potential applications in diagnostics.

Antagonistic Activity Exploration: We explore the potential of beneficial bacteria to suppress harmful fungi, promoting natural and sustainable solutions in agriculture.

Plastic Degradation Investigation: We isolate and characterize bacteria with the ability to degrade plastic waste, contributing to a cleaner environment.

Bioremediation Efficacy Analysis: We assess the effectiveness of microorganisms in bioremediation efforts, a valuable tool for cleaning up contaminated environments.

Probiotic Isolation and Characterization: We isolate and characterize probiotic bacteria, promoting gut health and overall well-being.

At Weevil Biotech, we are committed to ensuring the safety and quality of your food and water. Our state-of-the-art testing facilities employ rigorous microbial testing methods to identify potential contaminants and guarantee a healthy environment for everyone.

Our Testing Services:

• Total Plate Count (TPC): This essential test determines the overall bacterial and fungal population in a sample, providing a general measure of hygiene. High TPC levels may indicate improper handling or processing.

• Total Coliforms: The presence of these bacteria suggests potential fecal contamination and the possible presence of harmful pathogens. Early detection allows for corrective actions to prevent outbreaks of foodborne illness.

• Total Yeast/Mold Count: Yeasts and molds can spoil food products, reduce shelf life, and trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Our testing helps ensure the quality and safety of your food.

• Identification of Specific Pathogens: We test for a range of pathogenic bacteria, including E.coli, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Shigella spp. These bacteria can cause severe foodborne illnesses, and their early detection is crucial for ensuring food safety.

• Most Probable Number (MPN): When the levels of specific bacteria are too low for direct detection by TPC methods, the MPN technique offers a reliable way to estimate their concentration in water or food samples.
