Fields of expertise Isolation, selection and identification of microorganisms of industrial interests (bacteria notably Streptomyces, Bacilli and Lactic Acid Bacteria and fungi). Biochemical, physicochemical and molecular studies of enzymes and biomolecules from selected strains. Many specifically Field expertises could be presented as followed  Isolation, screening and identification of interesting micoorganisms Cloning and sequencing of bacterial genes. Study of gene expression. Study of the relation structure-function of enzymes. Overproduction, concentration and formulation of the most performing enzymes for several applications. Extraction, purification and elucidation of the chemical structures of the bioactives molecules Cloning, analysis and expression of genes encoding gene or implicated in the biosynthesis pathways. Molecular and in silico study of DNA sequence, their function and their diagnostic value as well as the study of signalling proteins involved in cell division and apoptosis.  This includes:  Genetyping and DNA sequencing technologies  In silico analyses and annotation of DNA and protein sequences  Cloning and heterologous expression of eukaryotic proteins involved in cell signalling  Study of genome expression with  high throughput techniques.
