Designed for analysis of microorganisms, ERGO integrates biological data from genomics, biochemistry, gene expression studies, genetics and literature, the company said.
“We have found the ERGO discovery system an exceptionally useful tool for studying probiotics, and expect that it will assist us in developing new ingredients that will prove beneficial to human nutrition,” said Dr. Eric Johansen, head of the Applied Biotechnology Division at Chr. Hansen.
