Microbial DNA identification test for the identification of unknown microbial species and confirmation of mushroom labeling.
Identification of bacteria, fungi, and mushrooms through DNA analysis. For verifying claims and labeling of raw materials.
Our company offers microbial DNA identification testing, which matches the DNA of samples with a database to report microbial species. 【Features of the Test】 ◆ Supports bacteria, molds, yeasts, and mushrooms In addition to bacteria and fungi, we also analyze the DNA of mushrooms such as shiitake, matsutake, and king oyster mushrooms. ◆ Overwhelming number of species covered The database used contains registrations of over 2,000 species of bacteria, fungi, and mushrooms. This service can be utilized for a wide range of applications, including handling complaints caused by microorganisms and verifying the labeling of mushrooms used as raw materials. *For more details, please request a catalog or view the PDF data available for download.

basic information
≪Examinable Forms≫ Colonies on petri dishes with a diameter of 1mm or more, mushrooms (fruiting bodies), etc. *Please feel free to consult us, as there may be cases where visible molds growing on food and other non-culture media can also be examined.* *For requests involving petri dishes, only those that have been cultured by swabbing will be accepted. Requests for mixed culture petri dishes cannot be accepted.* ≪Examination Method≫ Base sequence determination using next-generation sequencers ≪Analysis Regions≫ - Bacteria: V3/V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene - Fungi: Spacer region between 18S rRNA and 5.8S rRNA (ITS1) ≪Databases Used≫ In-house database, databases provided by DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank ≪Points to Note≫ - We do not conduct examinations for clinical testing purposes. - We do not accept microorganisms that may have pathogenic potential. - Samples that can be accepted are limited to those classified as P1 level samples under the "Law Concerning the Conservation of Biodiversity through Regulation of the Use of Living Modified Organisms" (Cartagena Law).

Applications/Examples of results
We can expect to utilize this for investigating the causes of complaints and confirming labels. <<Case Studies>> ◆ The retort food has changed color and mold was confirmed. ⇒ The identification of the "species" led to the conclusion that it was a mold commonly found in nature. ◆ The grains have changed color and something resembling mold is visible. ⇒ Mold was detected, and it was determined to be a "species" likely causing the discoloration. ◆ Mold was confirmed on the surface of seafood products. I want to know the "species" of the mold. ⇒ Although it was limited to the identification of the "genus," it was found to be a very common mold. ◆ Mold has grown on industrial products that were stored. I want to know what kind of mold it is. ⇒ It was found to be a moisture-loving resident bacterium. ◆ A black, sticky mass was observed in the brewing product. ⇒ It was determined to be a bacterium capable of proliferating in brewing environments. ◆ I want to confirm the species of the fungal body of the mushrooms handled by the company. ⇒ It was confirmed to be the expected species. * Identification of unusual odors, tastes, or discoloration causes has not been conducted. * Toxicity and safety evaluations have not been conducted.
