The use of our technology is particularly appropriate in conditions in which a selective pressure can be applied on the growth of the microorganism. Within these conditions, the Evolugator will enable the selection of the best possible variant. Examples include :

- Increasing the efficiency of degradation of a toxic product that can be used as a nutrient source.

- Adapting a strain to a particular environment e.g. temperature, atmosphere, pressure or acidity.

- Improving strains that have been genetically manipulated in a manner that has negatively affected their growth rate, so that they recover a wild-type growth rate.

- Evolving strains that are more resistant to a toxic bio-product.

Many laboratories that work in diverse fields such as experimental evolution, biodegradation, metabolic engineering, and enzyme evolution will find that continuous culture, with the use of the Evolugator, will both complement their existing tools and allow them to explore new avenues.
