Environmental Role: Ideonella species are primarily studied for their roles in environmental biodegradation processes. They have been implicated in the degradation of various organic compounds, including pollutants such as plastics and hydrocarbons. Ideonella species contribute to the natural cycling of organic matter in ecosystems.
Limited Association with Human Health: Ideonella bacteria are not typically associated with causing disease in humans. They are primarily studied in the context of environmental microbiology and microbial ecology, rather than human health. Ideonella species are considered part of the environmental microbiota and are generally regarded as non-pathogenic.
Biotechnological Applications: Some Ideonella species have potential applications in biotechnology and environmental engineering. They may be utilized in bioremediation processes to degrade environmental contaminants and pollutants. Additionally, some Ideonella species have been investigated for their ability to degrade plastics, which could have implications for waste management and recycling.
Safety Considerations: While Ideonella species are generally regarded as non-pathogenic to humans, their use in biotechnological applications or environmental engineering projects may require consideration of safety and containment measures to prevent unintended environmental release or exposure.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
