Services offered

SZN can provide access to:

i) BlueBioprospecting service, which provides metabolically unique organisms and collections that have vast and undocumented molecular diversity and may provide leads for the current and future infectious disease challenges, and screening capabilities for developing and testing alternative antimicrobials and antiviral targeted towards the most important emerging fish pathogens, and vaccine adjuvants (e.g., complex polysaccharides of marine origin),

ii) MOTAX service, which is an advanced unit for the isolation, culturing and taxonomical identification of various groups of marine organisms (specialization in phytoplankton, zooplankton, Macrozoobenthos), integrating traditional morphological approaches and modern technologies such as electron microscopy and molecular barcoding, an integrated approach that can apply to specific and scarcely tested fish feeds.
