Technology
Nature is full of microorganisms that play a crucial role for plants, animals, and humans. One gram of soil contains a billion bacteria distributed on tens of thousands of species. Some bacteria harm other organisms by causing diseases or breaking down nutrients, most are neutral, but some help other organisms thrive. These beneficial organisms work by creating essential nutrients, stimulating growth, or by keeping pests away. There is a vast potential in good microorganisms, but finding and utilising them has always been a challenge.
We have developed a unique technology that allows us to quickly find microorganisms with particularly good properties adapted to local soil conditions. The technology is called the MicrobeTRAP (™) and it is a microbial capture device that is placed in nature. It allows us to attract and isolate microorganisms with the desired properties.
