  business: In order to develop new and improved compounds for future use against drug-resistant bacteria and/or for chemical modifications, it is necessary to continue to screen for new metabolites and evaluate the potential of less known or new bacteria taxa. Selective isolation of rare bacteria taxa is one of the major targets for industrial microbiologists, who are in search of novel compounds with therapeutic activity. Bacteriophages can be effective tools in this search. They can be natural indicators of the presence of rare taxa in a selected test substrate. They can also be used to determine the relatedness of the isolated taxa; moreover, to deselect unwanted taxa on isolation plates in the process of target specific selective isolations. Micropeace provides consultancy to biotechnology companies and research institutes who are interested in detection of rare or novel actinomycetes and other bacteria, how to use phages as effective tools in this search.
