R&D internship in Microbiology – 5-6 months (H/F)

Project: Study and validation of new bacterial strains of interest in breadmaking, plant biocontrol & biostimulation and human and animal nutrition & health.

Within Lesaffre International's Bacteria platform of the R&D center, you will be more particularly attached to the Microbiology team.

Main missions:

• You ensure the development and validation of methods for studying bacterial strains from the Lesaffre R&D collection, from setting up experiments to writing results and protocols. The techniques used include microorganism culture, genomic sequence analysis, the use of molecular biology tools (DNA extraction, qPCR) and microorganism activity analysis using classical and/or high throughput setups.

• You may participate in the Scientific and Technological Watch on the field related to the microorganisms of interest as well as the research of technical solutions (methodology, protocols …).
