Predicted broader phytate degradation → higher phosphate release Inferred

Different phytases and phosphatases can act on different inositol-phosphate intermediates. Combining complementary activities can broaden phytate degradation and increase phosphate release.

Rational Consortium Design

Start with a target function and your strain collection. Anyclade screens strain combinations computationally, modeling metabolic complementarity, cross-feeding and competition for nutrients. The result is a shortlist of consortium candidates, each with its biological rationale, ready for laboratory, greenhouse or field validation.

Consortium Capability Discovery

Start with an existing consortium. Anyclade analyzes the combined functional and metabolic potential of its strains to identify capabilities beyond the original product concept, showing which strains contribute and the evidence behind each. The result is a set of additional functions and hypotheses worth validating, and the new product opportunities they could open.
