How Microbes Function

Microbes act as either a catalyst or an electron contributor for a chemical reaction

Examples of oxidation and reduction reactions facilitated by microbes

Alpha-Omega Bioremediation has over 30,000 characterized microbes

Further Work on Alpha-Omega Inventory of Microbes• Genomic Characterization

• Taxonomic profiling• basic understanding of the genetic similarity of the microbe to other known species

• Metabolic profiling• basic understanding of the functional similarity of the microbes to other known species

• Allows the rapid expansion of the inventory through the discovery of similar microbes• Allows for fewer laboratory experiments to be conducted on new microbes that express similarities to know species
