Established in 2017 within our institution, the Dairy Products Gene Bank’s primary goal is to isolate and preserve microorganisms essential for the food industry, particularly from dairy products and fermented foods. By utilizing advanced technologies such as MALDI-TOF, Riboprinter, New-Generation Sequencing, and PCR for identification, we ensure the preservation of these microorganisms through methods like lyophilization, and storage in liquid nitrogen and ultra-low temperature freezers. Our research and development efforts are further supported by bioreactors of various capacities and a flow cytometry device to monitor the viability of strains. This unique combination of cutting-edge research capabilities and our strategic location in Bursa enables us to contribute significantly to sustainable food systems and address global food security challenges.
