Zymo Research Launches Oral Microbiome Standard
IRVINE, Calif., (June 12, 2024) Zymo Research Corp. has unveiled the latest in its line of innovative microbiome standards, the ZymoBIOMICS Oral Microbiome Standard. This marks a significant addition to the field of microbiomics, allowing users to benchmark oral microbiome workflows against a precisely quantified control composed of site-specific organisms.
Designed with extensive data sourced from real human oral microbiome samples, along with aggregate data from the Human Oral Microbiome Database, the ZymoBIOMICS Oral Microbiome Standard closely mimics a true human oral microbiome. It comprises cells from 10 commensal and 2 pathogenic bacteria, selected to mirror real life samples while also representing a while range of lysis difficulties and genomic G/C content. Furthermore, it includes four species of Streptococcus bacteria, strategically chosen to challenge species-level resolution in bioinformatic analysis, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of microbial profiling capabilities.
