1) Compatibility of microbes combined in one preparation are tested in-vitro.

2) Assays are conducted to determine the effect of toxins and other chemicals on the microbes and preparations.

3)Assays are conducted to determine in-vitro effect and efficacy of microbes for the control of plant pathogens.

4)In-vitro assays to test the ability of microbes to brake down celilose, e.g. plant material and paper products,

5) Test the ability of microbes to break down petrochemical components.

6) Evaluate the ability of microbes to feed on salts for desalination.

7) Test the effects of dehydration and ultra violet light on survival of the microbes and/or spores.
