Why Are Environmental Remediation Services Important? Environmental remediation services are crucial for revitalizing contaminated land, protecting human health, and enhancing economic and ecological value. In a world filled with finite things let us preserve what we have left. Check out our recent blog to read more in depth about why these services are important. https://lnkd.in/gHvd9FQi

Everyone learns differently. What do you prefer?

Missed a blog post in 2024? We explored the critical role of microbes across industries—from addressing oil and gas challenges to advancing agricultural productivity and environmental remediation.

Did you know? Microbial Insights stores DNA extracts for up to 5 years. If you’re managing a long-term project, those samples could still be useful when combined with new analyses-saving you on additional collection costs and making the most of existing resources. Reach out to Project Success - projects@microbe.com - to find out if the DNA is available and to learn about additional beneficial analysis.

This year, we celebrated in style with a casino night that was full of excitement. From blackjack showdowns to roulette spins, our incredible team brought their passion and competitive spirit to the table. We were rolling in dough — Monopoly dough, that is! But we’re not just grateful for a successful year driven by our dedicated employees; we’re also deeply thankful for you! Together, we’re building a healthier, more sustainable world through innovative microbial solutions. Here is to 2025 where we will be betting on success, collaboration, and maybe the number 7!

Oregon State University researchers are partnering with NASA on a $525,000 NSF project to study how gravity affects microbial biofilms. They will send samples to the International Space Station in 2025 to isolate the role of capillarity, a force driving liquid movement in porous media, by eliminating gravity's influence. This research has applications in groundwater remediation, water treatment, agriculture, and space exploration. Biofilms will be 3D scanned upon return to compare growth in microgravity versus Earth. The project also includes STEM outreach, connecting students with live ISS experiments. https://lnkd.in/e8fCswgM Did you know our Bio-Extract™ kits—designed for isolating microbial DNA in the most remote locations on Earth—are now heading to space? Through Vanderbilt University’s Wond’ry Accelerator, Microbial Insights is one of only three Tennessee companies selected to contribute to innovative space health research. Our groundbreaking kits will soon be used aboard the International Space Station (ISS), paving the way for advanced microbiome monitoring in space exploration. Read more: https://lnkd.in/e93EYD5B

US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) News Release We’re proud to be part of an industry working to clean up and prevent chemical pollution. Progress like this reminds us how much can be achieved when science and advocacy come together to make a difference. For more information on the chemical ban: https://lnkd.in/gPgCsja9

A fascinating perspective! Dr. Craig Divine reflects on nearly 30 years of innovation in remediation, including the introduction of tools like Bio-Trap® and Min-Trap® samplers in his article "In My Experience: Observations on the Pace of Technology Advancement in the Remediation Industry," Dr. Divine’s insights shed light on the challenges and triumphs of developing technologies that shape our industry.
