Love the work that you guys are doing here - coming up with permutations of natural basic organisms that may result in synergistic effects for human consumer benefit!

Have you found any interesting, but not marketable interactions while looking for viable solutions?

Is Boost Biomes planning on granting academic or other licensing to other parties?

Interesting question! We're not currently granting licenses, but may be interested in research collaborations in the future. We did find one very interesting mystery, three morphotypes of a single bacteria (as determined by 16S sequence), that could grow together and influence each others' frequency in the population.
