The ZymoBIOMICS Gut Microbiome Standard is an accurately quantified microbial community mimicking the human gut microbiome. The challenges it presents to microbiomics profiling allows researchers to validate protocols and fine-tune them for gut microbiome research and act as a positive control for sample processing.
– True to Life: comprised of 21 different strains to mimic the human gut microbiome.
– Accurate Composition: allows for benchmarking and validation of NGS microbiome workflows.
– Cross Kingdom Representation: includes Bacteria, Fungi, and Archaea.
