Understanding microbial communities is crucial for researchers across many applications — from tracking soil health in sustainable agriculture initiatives with EcoPlates™ or RhizoPlates™, to assessing fermentation performance in food and beverage production with PreBioM™ plates, and more. Yet characterizing whole communities can be challenging when community structure is unknown or constantly changing, making it difficult to tune analyses or draw meaningful comparisons.
The NEW Odin™ Software Community Analysis Toolkit simplifies microbial community analysis by transforming complex substrate utilization data into clear, interpretable insights. With flexible parameters and built-in analytical tools, researchers can more easily study, compare, and understand functional differences between microbial communities.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
- Easily analyze EcoPlate, RhizoPlate, and PreBioM data
- Compare unknown or undefined microbial communities using Shannon’s Diversity and Evenness Indices and Average Well Color Development
- Identify key substrate utilization patterns with Functional Guild Analysis
- Leverage other new features in the latest version of Odin software to streamline phenotypic characterization and statistical analysis of your data
