Our key expertise is in mycology. We have the capability to identify fungi to species level rather than genus level, revealing the real properties of a fungus and understanding therefore, whether it is harmful or has useful attributes. In the UK this expertise is unique to CABI.
We offer a range of microbial services to businesses, academic institutions and government departments worldwide. Our customers come from industries such as agriculture, food and drink, medicine, research and environmental conservation.
